Most of the world does not realize that taxonomy has under gone some serious revisions. The genetic work done figuring out the genomes has become a major factor. There are two species of North American deer, Mule Deer, Odocoileus hemionus and the White-tailed Deer, Odocoileus virginianus. Subspecies are no longer recognized.

As with the deer, there are no subspecies any longer. Of course some people will insist there are, but the genes don't lie. The category subspecies is pretty much nonexistent.





There have been many more changes. Used to be 24 subspecies of wolf. They were down to six the last time I read anything about wolf taxonomy. I suspect this will change also.
