Wolves

The wolf is one of the world's most notorious animals, both love and (wrongly) feared. Because of its high intelligence, adaptability and great skill in hunting, it has historically lived in every type of surroundings in the northern hemisphere except for the desert. Around 50-60,000 wolves inhabit Canada, the second largest population in the world after the former Soviet Union. Today Canadian wolves occupy about 85 percent of their original range, and although some local wolf populations are fluctuating, the overall number is pretty stable. Wolves range in colour from black to creamy white in the far north. (White hair contains more air pockets than pigmented hair and provides better insulation as well as camouflage against the snow.) They are social animals, gathering in packs of up to 20 members. You will hear wolves on many outdoor adventures, particularly in the Algonquin Park, Ontario, where wolf howling is organised. Wolves are now permanently protected, not just inside the Algonquin Parks, but throughout the surrounding townships.
