They both may be canines and look alike, but wolves are wild. WILD. A husky you could go up to and stoke, usually, whereas a wolf would either bite you or run off. They both work in teams, but wolves hunt, and huskies pull sleds. Every dog was descended from wolves, coyotes and dingos so there is wildness somewhere in every dog.

Huskies are domestic dogs, wolves are not. They are far different, a wolf requires an extremely responsible owner they are more unpredictable than most dogs and are much more powerful. They are independent and don't generally seek attention, they don't always understand training and will test you as alpha dog. Siberian Huskies are domestic dogs and are generally the opposite.

Technically, Yes. All the origins of dogs go back to the bloodline of wolves. From the small Chihuahuas and Shih Tzus, to the large Great Danes And Malamutes. Due to years of selective breeding, we now have all of our breeds of dogs.

These days they are considered different species, despite the fact that they'd most likely interbreed just fine.
Siberian huskies are a dog breed, but a dog is a subspecies of a wolf, so yes, it is a wolf simply because all dogs are wolves.

The Siberian Husky is a so-called "ancient breed," so its DNA is closer to wolves than many other dogs. There are only 16 ancient breeds.
