Where do Alaskan gray wolves live?

The Alaskan gray wolf (Canis lupus pambasileus) is a subspecies of gray wolf native to the Alaskan interior. It is the largest subspecies of gray wolf in North America, with males weighing up to 175 pounds and standing 3 feet tall at the shoulder. Alaskan gray wolves have long, thick fur that is light gray in color, with darker gray on the face and back. They have large paws with sharp claws that help them to travel through snow and ice.

Alaskan gray wolves live in packs of up to 20 individuals, but the average pack size is around 6-8 wolves. They are territorial animals and will defend their territory from other wolves and predators. Alaskan gray wolves primarily prey on moose, caribou, and Dall sheep, but they will also eat smaller animals such as rabbits, hares, and beavers.

Alaskan gray wolves are an important part of the ecosystem in which they live. They help to control the population of prey species, which prevents overgrazing and allows for the regeneration of vegetation. Alaskan gray wolves also provide food and resources for other animals, such as scavenging birds and mammals.
