The Labrador wolf (Canis lupus labradorius) is a subspecies of gray wolf native to Labrador and northern Quebec. It has been described as ranging in color from dark grizzly-gray to almost white, and being closely related to the Newfoundland wolf (Canis lupus beothucus).
Habitat:
Labrador wolves still inhabit nearly all of their historic range in Labrador and Northern Quebec.
Characteristics:
Labrador wolves are medium size wolves with dark gray to nearly white fur. Similar in general only larger than the Eastern wolves of southwest Quebec and the Great Lakes region.
Diet:
Labrador wolves hunt one of the largest herds of caribou in the world. They also prey on moose, musk ox, hares, beaver, and other rodents and fish. Their semi-nomadic lifestyle leaves them with medium-sized packs of about twenty-five members. To follow with the migrations of the herd and sustain themselves, these wolves generally occupy vast territories.
