wolf hybrid
Domesticated wolf cross
A wolf hybrid is an animal bred from a domestic dog and a wolf, combining traits of both.
Also called a wolfdog.
These animals occupy a gray area between wild and domestic, often subject to special regulations because their behavior can be unpredictable: Some states ban wolf hybrids as pets.
The term sometimes appears in debates about exotic animal ownership.
