Interesting...Did you know that coat color in #wolves reflects immunity to canine distemper virus? Research suggests that wolves with black fur have some protection against this disease and this may be influencing the mating behavior of wolves. #science #nature #disease https://www.raincoast.org/2024/10/black-wolves-evolution/
@Victor Yeah! I heard about that from a professor of ecology I know that's worked with landrace breeds that may have a similar resistance (possibly from interbreeding with wild canids).
