Wolf (Canis lupus)

Viewing opportunities

- Wolves are elusive and viewing them from roadways is not very common. You will have better luck if you go to remote rivers and lakes.
In northern Yukon, the Arctic tundra allows for clear long distance views. If you can catch the Barren-ground Caribou migration you may see wolves trailing behind the herd.

-Wolves are easier to hear than see. Their haunting chorus of howls carries a long distance. The best time to hear howling is in the evening when the wind dies down and wolves are most active.

- In winter, following wolf tracks may provide interesting observations about their lives. Wolves are highly social and territorial; leaving scrapes and scent marks along their travel routes to mark their territory.


The average pack size in Yukon is 7 to 9 wolves, though smaller and larger pack sizes are not uncommon.
