What is Yukon Wolf?
Yukon Wolf is one of the kind of gray wolves canis lupus . It is considered a subspecies, called Canis lupus pambasileus , and also names the names of Alašský Černý wolf, the interior of Alašský wolf and Alašský wolf. Yukon Wolves are larger than other wolves and tend to have darker fur. They live in forested areas throughout Alaska and in Yukon, Canada. Yukon Wolves influenced the population control programs on Alaska and Yukon.
zoologist Daniel Elliot officially classified Yukon Wolf as a subspecies Canis Lupus in 1905. Although it is now a separate subspecies, it was also considered part of Canis Lupus Tundrurum or Tundra Wolf, under the past. Yukon Wolf, however, does not share the same habitats as Tundra Wolf and also physically differ. Tundra wolves have lighter fur and longer coat, although they are approximately the same size as Yukon Wolves.

Like most other members of their kind, Yukon Wolves are highly social and live in packages between five and eight. They are located in dense forests in most areas of Alaska and Yukon, with the exception of the northernmost areas and along the coast. Wolves hunt in packages to overthrow great prey like Cariba. They also hunt for smaller prey, including a squirrel and a hare.
The Yukon government introduced the Yukon Wolf protection and administration plan in 1983 in response to a decrease in the number of Caribou in the Ross River. The plan reduced the population of wolves from 215 to 29 years. Further recovery introduced in 1992 in the southwestern part of the territory reduced the number of wolves by 80 percent to increase the population of Moose, Dall and Cariba. On Alaska in 2009 the Ministry of Fish and Games allowedAir hunting wolves in order to reduce the population by 200.
