They don’t though, their last common ancestor is a precursor to the modern wolf, but they did come from a different species (though the separation of the species is incredibly recent, biologically, only as short as 30,000 years ago)
Well uhh–!! It was a joke
Honestly I kinda like this fun fact myself though
And to be fair, the thing that’s the common ancestor we do call it a Wolf, the name is “Pleistocene Wolf”, it’s just genetically not a wolf
Like the tree goes
And they can still interbreed, so not that far away genetically, just with (usually, occasionally not) infertile offspring
Yeah, i actually appreciate it tbh
