Dear zooarchers,
 
For comparative purposes, I am currently seeking recent remains (skulls with dentition) of the following canids:
 
the Eqyptian jackal (Canis aureus lupaster) aka the African wolf (Canis lupus lupaster)
 
the Arabian wolf (Canis lupus arabs)

 

and the Ethiopian wolf (Canis simensis)

 

I already have information about some of these species in collections of the British Museum Natural History in London, The African Museum in Tervuren and the Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences in Brussels.

 

If anyone knows where I might find remains of these animals lurking in other collections, please get in touch.

 

Thanks, Elaine
