| The Labrador wolf was identified as a subspecies of the gray wolf Canis lupus labradorius by biologist Edward A. Goldman in 1937. Due to its elusive nature and the vast, rugged terrain it occupies, it is one of the least-studied wolves in the world. Labrador wolves are rarely photographed in the wild. They still inhabit most of their historic range in Labrador and northern Quebec. They are medium-sized wolves with dark gray to almost white fur. Similar in general only larger than the Canis lupus lycaon of southwestern Quebec and the Great Lakes region. Labrador wolves hunt one of the world's largest caribou herds. They also hunt moose, muskox, hare, beaver and other rodents and fish. The Labrador wolf is an endangered species. |
