Some have understood Ammianus's testimony as a claim that at the time of Atlantis's actual sinking into the sea, its inhabitants fled to western Europe ; but Ammianus in fact says that “ the Drasidae ( Druids ) recall that a part of the population is indigenous but others also migrated in from islands and lands beyond the Rhine " ( Res Gestae 15. 9 ), an indication that the immigrants came to Gaul from the north ( Britain, the Netherlands or Germany ), not from a theorized location in the Atlantic Ocean to the south-west.

Skeat “… in at least three cases and probably in all, in the form of codices " and he theorized that this form of notebook was invented in Rome and then “… must have spread rapidly to the Near East …” In his discussion of one of the earliest pagan parchment codices to survive from Oxyrhynchus in Egypt, Eric Turner seems to challenge Skeat ’ s notion when stating “… its mere existence is evidence that this book form had a prehistory ” and that “ early experiments with this book form may well have taken place outside of Egypt .” Early codices of parchment or papyrus appear to have been widely used as personal notebooks, for instance in recording copies of letters sent ( Cicero Fam.

The Stromata is less systematic and ordered than Clement's other works, and it has been theorized by André Méhat that it was intended for a limited, esoteric readership.

Because early humans that were quick to fear dangerous situations were more likely to survive and reproduce, preparedness is theorized to be a genetic effect that is the result of natural selection.

Miguel Alcubierre theorized that it would be possible to create an Alcubierre drive, in which a ship would be enclosed in a " warp bubble " where the space at the front of the bubble is rapidly contracting and the space at the back is rapidly expanding, with the result that the bubble can reach a distant destination much faster than a light beam moving outside the bubble, but without objects inside the bubble locally traveling faster than light.

Jacob Grimm theorized that Hel ( whom he refers to here as Halja, the theorized Proto-Germanic form of the term ) is essentially an " image of a greedy, unrestoring, female deity " and that " the higher we are allowed to penetrate into our antiquities, the less hellish and more godlike may Halja appear.

He theorized a heritable component in altruism and developed Genetic Similarity Theory, which is an extension of W. D. Hamilton's theory of kin selection.

Sophus Bugge theorized that the name Ratatoskr is a loan from Old English meaning " Rat-tooth.

The coyote ( or, or ; Canis latrans ), also known as the American jackal or the prairie wolf, is a species of canine found throughout North and Central America, ranging from Panama in the south, north through Mexico, the United States and Canada.

Currently, the domestic dog is listed as a subspecies of Canis lupus, C. l. familiaris, and the dingo ( also considered a domestic dog ) as C. l. dingo, provisionally a separate subspecies from C. l. familiaris ; the red wolf, eastern Canadian wolf, and Indian wolf are recognized as subspecies.

It is thought that this species migrated to South America where it became the ancestor of Canis dirus, the dire wolf.

The nominate subspecies is Canis lupus lupus.

Canis lupus is assessed as Least Concern by the IUCN, as its relatively widespread range and stable population trend mean that the species, at global level, does not meet, or nearly meet, any of the criteria for the threatened categories.

The current categorization of subspecies of Canis lupus is shown below.

It is the only extant member of the genus Cuon, which differs from Canis by the reduced number of molars and greater number of teats.

The Milky Way galaxy is currently in the process of cannibalizing the Sagittarius Dwarf Elliptical Galaxy and the Canis Major Dwarf Galaxy.

The Irish Wolfhound (, ) is a breed of domestic dog ( Canis lupus familiaris ), specifically a sighthound.

Lepus is most often represented as a rabbit being hunted by Orion, whose hunting dogs ( Canis Major and Canis Minor ) pursue it.

The red wolf ( Canis lupus rufus, formerly Canis rufus ) is a North American canid which once roamed throughout the Southeastern United States.

Body is intermediate in size between the gray wolf ( Canis lupus ) and the coyote ( Canis latrans )

found a unique allele in Canis specimens from within the red wolf range, supporting the conclusion that the red wolf is a distinct species.

Its name is probably derived from the Latin " Canis Gallicus " or " Dog from Gaul ".

The gray wolf ( Canis lupus ) is a species of canid native to the wilderness and remote areas of North America, Eurasia, and North Africa.

For instance, the first sense of the word dog would have the following hypernym hierarchy ; the words at the same level are synonyms of each other: some sense of dog is synonymous with some other senses of domestic dog and Canis lupus familiaris, and so on.

For example, Canis lupus is the scientific name of the Gray wolf, a species, with Canis the generic name for the dog and its close relatives, and with lupus particular ( specific ) for the wolf ( lupus is written in lower case ).

* American Jackal is no longer a common name for the Coyote, Canis latrans, of Central America and North America

A coydog is the hybrid offspring of a coyote ( Canis latrans ) and a dog ( Canis lupus familiaris ).

Many eastern coyotes are coy-wolves, a canid hybrid, which, despite having a majority of coyote ( Canis latrans ) ancestry, also descends from wolves, either the Gray wolf ( Canis lupus ) or the Red wolf ( Canis lupus rufus, formerly Canis rufus ), which is on balance more coyote than wolf.

Unlike the related gray wolf, which is Eurasian in origin, evolutionary theory suggests the coyote evolved in North America during the Pleistocene epoch 1. 81 million years ago ( mya ) alongside the dire wolf.

Although not closely related, the coyote evolved separately to fill roughly the same ecological niche in the Americas that is filled in Eurasia and Africa by the similarly sized jackals.

The name " coyote " is borrowed from Mexican Spanish coyote, ultimately derived from the Nahuatl word cóyotl.

Coyotes have also been known, on occasion, to mate with wolves, though this is less common than with dogs, due to the wolf's hostility to the coyote.

The offspring, known as a coywolf, is generally intermediate in size to both parents, being larger than a pure coyote, but smaller than a pure wolf.

The red wolf is thought by certain scientists to be in fact a wolf / coyote hybrid rather than a unique species.

Though the coyote is the basis for the character of Wile E. Coyote in the Warner Brothers Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies animated cartoons, especially about the Road Runner, coyotes have not been known as yet to attack greater roadrunners for prey.

Carcasses in the open no longer attract coyotes ; when a coyote is chased on flat terrain, it is often killed.

It is rare for these two similarly sized species to physically confront one another, though bobcat populations tend to diminish in areas with high coyote densities.

In California, coyote and bobcat populations are not negatively correlated across different habitat types, but predation by coyotes is an important source of mortality in bobcats.

Despite being extensively hunted, the coyote is one of the few medium-to large-sized animals that has enlarged its range since human encroachment began.

Today, coyote fur is still used for full coats and trim and is particularly popular for men ’ s coats.

The coyote is a popular figure in folklore and popular culture.

By far, the best known representation is the animated Wile E. Coyote, Super Genius, whose popularity has spread the three-syllable Spanish pronunciation of the word coyote throughout English-speaking North America.

Animal forms vary accordingly with cultures and local species ( including bears and wolves ), for example, a coyote is more likely to be found as a skinwalker's alternate form in the Great Plains region.

The red wolf is generally intermediate in size between the coyote and the gray wolf.

In May 2011, an analysis of red wolf, Eastern wolf, gray wolf, and dog genomes revealed that the red wolf was 76-80 percent coyote and only 20-24 percent gray wolf, suggesting that the red wolf is actually much more coyote in origin than the Eastern wolf.
