Four subspecies of Canis lupus are found across northern and western Canadaand in the region around the Great Lakes. Canis lupus lycaon, the EasternTimber Wolf, resides in the south-eastern region ofthe Great Lakes. Canis lupus arctos, the Arctic Wolf, lives in the far north. Canis lupus nubilus, known as the Great Plains Wolf or Buffalo Wolf, lives in the south-central region just west of the Great Lakes. Canis lupus occidentalis, the Rocky Mountain or McKenzie Valley Wolf, has its home in the west as far north as Alaska.
Some experts believe that howling-that eerie hallmark of this unique species-is a key element of territoryestablishment, acting both as a warning to other packs and a call to gathering among pack members.
