What does the Alexander archipelago wolf eat?

The Alexander Archipelago wolf, also known as the Southeast Alaska wolf, is a subspecies of the gray wolf. Its diet consists primarily of:

* Deer: The most important prey species for the Alexander Archipelago wolf, especially Sitka black-tailed deer.

* Mountain goats: These are a significant food source in mountainous areas.

* Moose: While moose are not as common in the archipelago as other prey, they are sometimes hunted, particularly in areas where moose populations are higher.

* Salmon: During the spawning season, wolves will opportunistically eat salmon, especially in areas with abundant salmon runs.

* Small mammals: This includes beavers, marmots, rabbits, squirrels, and voles.

* Birds: Occasionally, wolves will prey on birds, especially during the nesting season.

* Carrion: They scavenge on dead animals whenever available.

The exact composition of their diet can vary depending on the availability of prey in a particular area. However, deer remain the most important prey species for the Alexander Archipelago wolf.
