Hyeis (New Pleistocene)

The Hyeis, Canis risum, descended from red wolves. The Hyeis is a canid of the late Holocene. It is very well known as the most persistent hunter besides humans. They've been known to track and chase prey down for months, individuals of packs dying along the way. At 8 feet long, these smart and cunning descendants of red wolves can bring down prey such as elk down. They live all over the northern hemisphere and parts of South America. Hyeis means "laughing dog", as some of their vocalizations resembles a spotted hyena's.
