The Baffin Island wolf (Canis lupus manningi), also known as the Baffin Island tundra wolf, is a subspecies of gray wolf which resides exclusively on Baffin Island and several nearby islands.
Habitat:
Baffin Island wolves are found exclusively on Baffin Island and a few small adjacent islands.
Characteristics:
The Baffin Island wolves are the smallest of all wolves. They have thick white coats which makes it appear larger than they actually are.
Diet:
Baffin Island wolves will feed on just about anything if they are hungry enough. However, their major sources of food are lemmings, barren-ground caribou, and the arctic hare. Despite living in packs, they often hunt either alone or a male and female together.
Status:
Endangered.
