I really like Japanese wolves. Wolves are considered gods in Japan. In shinto, one of the most important god is a wolf. Wolves are extinct in Japan, seeing one means great luck! Back in Old Japan, people would pray to the wolf gods, so that they(the wolves) would come and kill the animals eating their crops. Wolves were also breed by Shinto priests to rent out to farmers, After the 1905(the year wolves became extinct) The fox became the sole hunter of small animals (rabbits and such), but it was not enough, rabbits infested many japanese forests. Many japanese people are considering to bring Wolves from other asian country to reduce this problem. That is all, now that you know how important the wolf is in Japanese culture, whenever you see one, wish it good luck.

>I really like Japanese wolves
I was the one who added this part to the original copypasta. I don't remember why I did that though.

In order to strengthen the body and heal the mind, /jp/, like man, has to go back to it's most primaeval foundations. To heal the wound and still the pain.

There's nothing wrong with a wolf t-shirt.

Today, Japan is supposed to have no wolves. Once, it had two types of native wolf, the Ezo wolf which lived on the northern island called Hokkaido and a wolf called the shamanu which lived in the south. Islands tend to produce dwarfed or miniature versions of mainland animals, and these wolves were no exception. The Ezo wolf looked like a small version of the Asian mainland wolf, but the shamanu was even more dwarfed. In fact, many scientists think the shamanu might have been a different species altogether, and not just a dwarfed subspecies. Scientists who take this view have called the shamanu Canis hodophilax. Most books that speak of the Japanese wolf are talking about the shamanu, not the Ezo wolf. The shamanu is also called the Honshu wolf, the shamainu, the yamainu, the nihon-okami and the yama-inu (several of these translate as "mountain dog" or various corruptions thereof).

The Japanese Gray Wolf was declared extincted in 1905. The extinction was caused mostly by rabies. The Japanese wolf almost certainly survived for at least a few decades after it had been officially declared extinct. The real question is whether it is alive today.

The Japanese Gray wolf was used by farmers to hunt animals that would steal their crops. In fact, many priests would rent out trained wolves to farmers.

They should bring them back by cloning them. They can do that, right? At least for the Ezo wolf you should be able to have an Asian mainland wolf as a surrogate mother.

I know this feeling. Native island wolves of Michigan are either extinct or down to 3. Last time they were down to 3 was early 2012. No so sure about all the islands as a whole though. I never hear about Japanese bears. Between the ainu sacrificing them and Sonny Chiba karate chopping them to death I wonder how many still exist. We need a bear Touhou.
