First time I heard about sea wolves. Great photographs. 

Brown bears involved in salmon are larger than everywhere else. Polar bears doing blubber also are very large. Sea wolves, on the other hand, are smaller than relatives involved in deer. Remarkable.

The Alexander Archipelago Wolf is the one feeding on salmon. This prey item make this species pups one of greatest in pup suvivorship (with 90% of the pups surviving their first year, amongst the leader in this domain among the grey wolf specie).

They weigh between 14 and 21 kg and stand about 0.61m tall at the shoulder.

So brown bears involved in salmon outweigh their inland relatives living on vegetables and the occasional calf by a margin, whereas wolves feeding on salmon are quite a bit smaller than wolves involved in meat? Remarkable. Could it be that size in wolves is related to the size of the animals they hunt?    

Weightwise, Alexander wolves almost compare to coyotes. Anything known about interactions between these wolves and other predators?

Welcome to the forum. Involved in wolves in some way?

I don't know about interactions of this wolf subspecies living on The Alexander Archipelago. 

What i can do however is bring something i made on Carnivora.

I am a student in biology, in my first semester (Laval University, Qc, Canada). I'm only 19. So I'm not involved in wolves.... but i my knowledge on them might have gone by 5-6 times what i knew about them in the last 5 weeks. 

I decided to make a thread : 38 Subspecies of Canis lupus (Grey Wolf). 

In the first thread, you have :

- Actual Packs Composition and Members of the present YNP Packs
- YNP Wolf Packs territories from 1995 to 2018 on a map (Which is really really amazing)
- Wolf Deaths Caused by Other wolves (Interspecific)
- An Hermaphrodite Wolf ! Yes, Indeed ! It exist. Wolf #1116U 
- Wolf Diet (By year) (I made these graphics from the data i found in the Yellowstone Wolf Project Annuals Reports (1995 to 2018)
- Bison and Elk Kills and Proportions of theirs diet by year (1995 to 2018)
- Weights of Wolves (I found the weight of Above 60 wolves identified in YNP)
- Wolf Mortalities within the park boundaries (1995 to 2018)
- Wolf Stories, Pictures and Videos and even documentaries about individuals wolves.
- The List of Alphas Males and Alpha Females (1995-2018) (That i know of and are identified mainly)
- And even more Reply
