Eastern Wolf is Canadian Animal

Eastern wolf, also known as Eastern Canadian Wolf or Eastern Canadian Red Wolf, may subspecies gray wolf (Canis Lupus Lycaon), different species of canid (Canis Lycaon) or hybrid species (Canis lupus Canis latrans X) native to the eastern North America since the Pleistocene era. This seems closely related to the red wolf. Some residents may contain examples of hybridization with Coyotes, known as coywolves.

Many of the proposed names, including the eastern wolf, eastern gray wolf, timber wolf East, and Algonquin wolves, although the eastern wolf has appeared to gain recognition the most.

Eastern wolves recently recognized as a potential species difference, but closely related to the red wolf. Some authors do not agree  and the status as a distinct species is not official. Now, international and government organizations perform scientific research for taxonomy and genetics to answer this question, and examine the influence of ecology and ecosystems.

Eastern wolves are smaller than gray wolves and has reddish gray mantle with black hair covering the back and sides of the thorax. MtDNA analysis asserts that the East belongs to an ancient form of wolf primitive wolf (with red wolf) originated some 750,000 years ago in the eastern part of North America (Nowak 1979, 1992). This haplotype distribution shows the elements that are similar to the red wolf and may be part of this species. Red wolf populations extirpated from the wild in the southeastern U.S., which was introduced back into the realm of the last decades and are now highly endangered.

At the date of March 31, 2010, presentation by the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources research scientist Brent Patterson outlined key findings of the Eastern wolf (and coyote): coyote Most Eastern Ontario are wolf-coyote hybrids, wolves in Algonquin Park, in general, are not mutually grow multiplying coyote, and a buffer zone around Algonquin Park was a great success with a death toll down and the population remains stable.

The proponents of different species designation believe that Eastern Canadian wolf range just north of the waste once continuous range of native canid - Eastern wolf (Eastern Canadian wolf and the red wolf). The pre-Columbus considered include U.S. state east of the Mississippi and south of the Canadian Shield-St. Lawrence corridor.

Unlike gray wolves, eastern wolves in Algonquin Park was never recorded with black coat-black or all-white (wolf research at Al P. collected 2008.). Especially eastern wolves in Algonquin Park in Canada-United States border. Algonquin type is most genetically pure populations of wolves while type-Eastern Ontario is a hybrid of the gray wolf (probably with C. l. Nubilus or C. l griseoalbus ads. Etc.) (Wilson et al. 2000). Mech and Frenzel (1971) shows that the northeastern Minnesota timber wolves are assigned to C. l. Lycaon but found in an area within 150 miles of range C. l nubilus as described by Goldman (1944).

Eastern wolf is smaller than the gray wolf. Had feathers pale grayish brown. The back and sides are covered with long hair, black. Behind the ear, there is a little reddish color. The differences in properties are considered as a result of their descendants red wolf. Eastern wolf also thinner than the gray wolf and having a more similar appearance coyote. This is because the wolf and coyote often marriage and breed wolf / coyote hybrid dogs in the park.

The Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society states: "hybridization with the coyote in history as the beginning of the decline of the Eastern wolf population status Wildlife in Canada (COSEWIC) has identified the hybridization with the coyote as one of the main threats faced. Eastern wolf, and hybridization continued to pose a challenge serious recovery effort red wolf in North Carolina. "Because two animals look very similar, Algonquin wolf hunting ban and the coyote has been in place to ensure that no accidental deaths occur.

Gray wolf will attack, kill or drive out coyote if they find them, but recent research by John and Mary Theberge shows that Eastern wolf man may marry a female and accept coyote. John Theberge said that, because the coyote is smaller than wolves, wolves that women are less likely to receive a smaller pair.
