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 région sud-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 Rocheuses ou de la vallée McKenzie, qu'on retrouve dans l'ouest, aussi loin au nord qu'en Alaska.

Selon des experts, le hurlement, marque terrifiante de cette espèce unique, est un facteur clé dans l'établissement du territoire, en ce qu'il sert autant à avertir les autres meutes d'éviter le territoire occupé qu'à rassembler les membres.

Emballage
La pièce est encapsulée et présentée dans un boîtier à double coque bordeaux orné du logo de la Monnaie royale canadienne. Le boîtier est assorti d'une boîte protectrice standard.
