pambasileus

Updated: May 8, 2025

There is a true wild dog, however, in the Yukon province of the Canadian Dominion and in Alaska Canis pambasileus a dark, blackish-brown in colour. The Eskimo never under ordinary circumstances ate their dogs; on the other hand, the Amerindians were fond of dog's flesh, and in some tribes simply bred dogs for the table.
