A subspecies is a distinct category within a species, formed through geographic isolation and adaptation, while capable of interbreeding with other populations. It includes unique physical traits and is denoted by 'subsp.' in taxonomy. For example, domestic dogs and gray wolves are subspecies of the same species, Canis lupus.
