The Himalayan wolf (Canis lupus chanco) is a canine of debated taxonomy. It is distinguished by its genetic markers, with mitochondrial DNA indicating that it is genetically basal to the Holarctic grey wolf, genetically the same wolf as the Tibetan and Mongolian wolf, and has an association with the African wolf (Canis lupaster). No striking morphological differences are seen between the wolves from the Himalayas and those from Tibet. The Himalayan wolf lineage can be found living in Ladakh in the Himalayas, the Tibetan Plateau, and the mountains of Central Asia predominantly above in elevation because it has adapted to a low-oxygen environment, compared with other wolves that are found only at lower elevations.
Some authors have proposed the reclassification of this lineage as a separate species. In 2019, a workshop hosted by the IUCN/SSC Canid Specialist Group noted that the Himalayan wolf's distribution included the Himalayan range and the Tibetan Plateau. The group recommends that this wolf lineage be known as the "Himalayan wolf" and be classified as Canis lupus chanco until a genetic analysis of the holotypes is available. The Himalayan wolf lacks a proper morphological analysis. The wolves in India and Nepal are listed on CITES Appendix I as endangered due to international trade.
Canis chanco was the scientific name proposed by John Edward Gray in 1863, who described a skin of a wolf that was shot in Chinese Tartary. This specimen was classified as a wolf subspecies Canis lupus chanco by St. George Jackson Mivart in 1880. In the 19th and 20th centuries, several zoological specimens were described:
Canis niger by Philip Sclater in 1874 was a wolf specimen collected near Hanle in Kashmir.
Lupus filchneri by Paul Matschie in 1907 was a wolf skin from Xining in China's Qinghai province. It had been collected by Wilhelm Filchner during an expedition to China and Tibet in 1903–1905.
Lupus karanorensis by Matschie in 1907 was a skin and a skull of a wolf that was shot in an oasis near Dunhuang in China in 1894.

Canis lupus himalayensis désigne une sous-espèce de ''canis lupus'' vivant en Inde. Cette population a longtemps rattachée au loup iranien (Canis lupus pallipes) mais des études récentes suggèrent qu'il constitue une sous-espèce à part entière, de même que Canis lupus indica. Ce loup est persécuté et est en voie de disparition. R. K. Aggarwal, T. Kivisild, J. Ramadevi, L. Singh: Mitochondrial DNA coding region sequences support the phylogenetic distinction of two Indian wolf species. Journal of Zoological S
The Pleistocene wolf, also referred to as the Late Pleistocene wolf, is an extinct lineage or ecomorph of the grey wolf (Canis lupus). It was a Late Pleistocene 129 Ka – early Holocene 11 Ka hypercarnivore. While comparable in size to a big modern grey wolf, it possessed a shorter, broader palate with large carnassial teeth relative to its overall skull size, allowing it to prey and scavenge on Pleistocene megafauna. Such an adaptation is an example of phenotypic plasticity. It was once distributed across the northern Holarctic.
Canis lupus pallipes, le Loup des Indes, est une sous-espèce de Canis lupus vivant en Inde et au Moyen-Orient. vignette|gauche| L'aire de répartition de cette sous-espèce recouvre l'Inde et le Moyen-Orient Cette sous-espèce est décrite par le zoologiste britannique William Henry Sykes, en 1831. Ce taxon porte en français le nom vernaculaire ou normalisé « Loup des Indes ». À ne pas confondre avec Canis indica qui serait une espèce à part entière comme le montre l'étude (notamment sur l'ARNr 16S) de Aggarwal, Kivisild, Ramadevi & Singh en 2007.
