1. Social Behavior: Dogs are significantly more socially tolerant and cooperative than wolves. They have evolved to live closely with humans, forming strong bonds with their families and readily accepting other dogs. Wolves, on the other hand, are highly territorial and typically maintain strict social hierarchies within their packs.
2. Physical Appearance: Dogs exhibit a wide variety of physical appearances due to selective breeding. This includes variations in size, coat type, ear shape, and even facial features. Wolves, on the other hand, have a much more uniform appearance, with less variation across individuals.
While both wolves and dogs share a common ancestor, these two traits highlight the significant changes that have occurred in dogs through thousands of years of domestication.
