The Manitoba Wolf (Canis lupus griseoalbus) is a subspecies of the gray Wolf (Canis lupus). It was described by zoologist Spencer Baird in 1858. Although the Manitoba Wolf is officially classified as a subspecies, many experts do not recognize it, considering it to be a subspecies of the Hudson Bay Wolf.

Is The Manitoba Wolf Extinct?

Spencer Baird first described the Manitoba Wolf and gave it its taxonomic name in the early 19th century. At the time, the pelts of various wolves were highly prized and were hunted to the brink of extinction in the early 20th century.

Today, scientists cannot agree on the status of the Manitoba Wolf as a distinct subspecies, so there is no reliable information on the status of the population. Some have even suggested that the Manitoba Wolf may be extinct, knowing that the Hudson Bay Wolf, which lives on the same land, is also endangered.

The Hokkaido Wolf, which once roamed mainland Japan, can also be found.
