In biological classification, the taxonomic hierarchy from broad to specific is kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, species. Organisms in the same genus are more closely related than those in the same family (since genus is a more specific taxonomic level than family). Wolves share the same genus as jackals and the same family as foxes. So, wolves are more closely related to jackals.
