Canis arnensis has been conventionally considered a jackal-like dog, while C. For this reason, our study is aimed at highlighting differences in craniodental characters between the two species. arnensis has been based mainly on mandibular traits. Since early studies, the distinction between C. etruscus, in order to better describe its cranial morphology. The discovery of four crania from Pantalla prompted a revision of C. It is regarded as an important taxon for biochronology, as its first occurrence (the “wolf event”) has been used to define one of the Villafranchian faunal. Canis etruscus appeared in Europe about 2 Ma ago. View full-textĪn outstanding sample of Canis etruscus has been found within the faunal assemblage from the early Pleistocene site of Pantalla (Italy), which is referred to the early late Villafranchian. Caracteristica asociaţiei complexului de mamifere din Raşcov-8 probează faptul că vânătorii paleolitici vânau în primul rând exemplarele vulnerabile, juvenile sau senile, ale speciilor de talie mare. Rămăşiţele ursului brun -Ursus arctos, lupului -Canis lupus şi mamutului -Mammuthus primigenius sunt reprezentate prin piese mai puţin numeroase. care din punct de vedere morfologic este foarte asemănător cu E.
Rămăşiţele osteologice cele mai numeroase aparţin renului -Rangifer tarandus constantini şi calului -Equus caballus ssp. Artefactele paleolitice din Raşcov-8 aparţin culturilor epigravetiană şi epiaurignaciană (21 000 – 18 000 BP). Articolul prezintă resturile de mamifere fosile şi contextul arheologic din aşezarea pluristratigrafică paleolitic superioară Raşcov-8. Fauna de mamifere din aşezarea paleolitic superioară Raşcov-8 (Republica Moldova).
The composition of the mammal assemblage from Raşcov-8 suggests that ancient hunters preferred as prey vulnerable juvenile and senile individuals of large sized mammal species. Some scarce remains belong to brown bear -Ursus arctos, wolf -Canis lupus, and mammoth -Mammuthus primigenius. The most abundant teeth and bones belong to reindeer -Rangifer tarandus constantini and horse -Equus caballus ssp. The Paleolithic stone implements belong to Epigravettian and Epiauregnacian cultures (21,000 – 18,000 years B. The fossil mammal remains and archaeological context from the multilayered Upper Paleolithic site Raşcov-8 are rendered in the present paper. The two other canids, namely, Golden Jackal Canis aureus and Indian Fox Vulpes bengalensis, have also been discussed in brief. The major conservation threats to this species such as habitat loss, food scarcity, and human-animal conflict have been discussed in the text. At present, Kumbhalgarh Wildlife Sanctuary is one of the best sites in Rajasthan to observe them where they are also breeding successfully. The Indian wolf was present in various habitats of Barmer, Jodhpur, Jaisalmer, Nagour, Sikar, Jhunjhunu, Churu, Jalore, Pali, Bikaner, Udaipur, Rajsamand, Jaipur, Ajmer, Dungarpur, Alwar, and Chittourgarh districts of the state about forty years ago, but now, they are rare in most of their distribution ranges. No confirmed records of its presence in the state during the running decade are available. Habitat loss, rapid decline in prey species, and human-animal conflicts are described as the major reasons of the extermination of this species. To and fro movements of wild dog were recorded between forest areas of Sawai Madhopur and Baran districts and the surrounding areas of Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh states of India. Dhole was reported from Sariska and Ranthambhore National Parks and Shahabad zone during 1980–1990. was present in the forests of Ajmer, Alwar, Baran, Chittourgarh, Pali, Pratapgarh, Sawai Madhopur, and Udaipur districts. Out of the three subspecies of Wild Dog known in India, the race known from the geographic limits of Rajasthan is Cuon alpinus dukhunensis or Dhole. This chapter presents the status report of Dhole or Wild Dog and a brief account of the Indian Gray Wolf (Canis lupus pallipes) belonging to family Canidae in Rajasthan which is considered as Endangered mammal of India.
