Do animals have different races?

Answer 1

Yes but in the animal kingdom it is looked at more as species and sub species.

Look at it this way....

You have humans but within humans as a whole you have different races.

You have wolves but within wolves as a whole you have different species and sub-species.

It is the same thing, just different terms... race and species/sub-species.

However with animals it just gets a bit more difficult because the differences within the animal species is far grander than that of the human race. With humans the difference can be with skin/hair color, height... small little things, not to mention there are little to no internal differences between human races. But with animals the difference can be night and day, both on an internal and external level.

A good example is sharks and how many different species and sub-species they are broken into.

Answer 2

Yes. For example, a kodiak bear is a race or subspecies of brown bear. It is Ursus arctos middendorffi. The third scientific name denotes race or subspecies. With honeybees Apis mellifera scuttelata, or something very close to that (spelling) is the African killer bees, a subspecies of European bees.

Answer 3

Sure, races are analagous to subspecies. Different subspecies may look slightly different but can interbreed.

Answer 4

yes
