Lupus “The Timber Wolf” a close call

2008.12.05
The Eastern Wolf mainly occupies the area in and around Algonquin Provincial Park in Ontario, and also ventures into adjacent parts of Quebec, Canada. It also may be present in Minnesota and Manitoba.

A close call but so exhilarating

Algonquin wolves often travel outside the park boundaries, and enter farm country where some are killed. "Of all the wolf deaths recorded from 1988 to 1999, a minimum of 66% was caused by humans. Shooting and snaring outside park boundaries were the leading causes of death for wolves radio-collared in Algonquin Park"


The eastern wolf (Canis [lupus] lycaon) also know as Eastern Canadian Wolf or Eastern Canadian Red Wolf is traditionally considered to be a subspecies of the Gray Wolf. Sometimes it is also viewed as a result of historical hybridization between grey wolves and red wolves or coyotes.
