* Domestic Dogs: The most obvious example, dogs are directly descended from wolves and were domesticated thousands of years ago.
* Coyotes: Found primarily in North America, coyotes are closely related to wolves and can even interbreed with them.
* Jackals: There are several species of jackals found in Africa and Asia, smaller than wolves but still closely related.
* Dholes: Also known as the "Indian Wild Dog", dholes are a highly social species found in South and Southeast Asia.
* African Wild Dogs: These endangered animals are known for their cooperative hunting and distinct black-and-white markings.
* Wolves: There are many different wolf species, including the gray wolf, the red wolf, the Ethiopian wolf (which is actually more closely related to foxes), and others.
It's important to note that while all of these animals are descended from wolves, they have evolved into distinct species with their own unique characteristics and adaptations.
