What makes Pakistan's wolves special?
Recent work has shown southern regions of Asia hold a disproportionate amount of the global diversity of gray wolves living today. This is partly because there are three main wolf lineages in the world -- the Indian, Tibetan, and Holarctic -- that are all found in Asia.
Pakistan is the hotspot for gray wolf diversity in the world. That is because all three of the world's wolf lineage converge right in Pakistan.
