Comment

Four subspecies of Canis lupus inhabit northern and western Canada and the region around the Great Lakes: Canis lupus lycaon, the timber wolf, inhabiting the southeastern region of the Great Lakes; Canis lupus arctos, the Arctic wolf, living in the far north; Canis lupus nubilus, known as the plains wolf, inhabiting the south-central region just west of the Great Lakes; and Canis lupus occidentalis, the wolf of the west.west of the Great Lakes; and Canis lupus occidentalis, the Rocky Mountain or McKenzie Valley wolf, found in the west, as far north as Alaska.

According to experts, the howl, a terrifying mark of this unique species, is a key factor in establishing territory, serving as much to warn other packs to avoid occupied territory as it does to bring members together.

Quatre sous-espèces du Canis lupus peuplent le nord et l'ouest du Canada ainsi que la région ceinturant les Grands Lacs : le Canis lupus lycaon, le loup des bois, habitant la régionsud-est des Grands Lacs; le Canis lupus arctos, le loup arctique, vivant dans le Grand Nord; le Canis lupus nubilus, connu sous le nom de loup des plaines peuplant la région sud-centrale juste à l'ouest des Grands Lacs; et le Canis lupus occidentalis, le loup des Rocheusesou de la vallée McKenzie, qu'on retrouve dans l'ouest, aussi loin au nord qu'en Alaska.
