The
Canadian Wolf
The
grey Wolf (Canis lupus) is the most prevalent species of canids. Also
called common or vulgar wolf, the common name is wolf, although
shared by many canids.
The species have evolved throughout history to differentiate into several sub-species such as the common European grey wolf (Canis lupus), the Arctic Wolf (Canis lupus arctos) and many other sub-species of wolves . It is also the origin of the dog (Canis lupus familiaris) and humans domesticated subspecies returned to the wild life that are the Dingo (Canis lupus dingo) and singer Dog (Canis lupus hallstromi).
In its wild forms, the grey wolf was eradicated gradually by man in many areas of its native range, especially in the nineteenth century. It is mainly present in the twenty-first century in areas of "open spaces" such as the steppes of Siberia and Parks in Canada. It is now protected in many countries where we are trying to preserve the remaining populations, some backup programs have allowed the grey wolf back on areas where it had been eradicated, especially in North America.
In contrast, the subspecies Canis lupus familiaris is globally widespread. Of rights, it evolved into the domesticated dog, itself diversified into many breeds created to adapt to roles assigned to them.

and his wolf breeding. It begins to reproduce at the age of two or
three years old. Gestation lasts 63 days, the female gives birth to a
litter of about seven pups (4 to 13) in a den, a burrow or a natural
shelter. The pack protects the
mother during lactation and brings her food.
