Resource Abstract:
- description: Widespread observations of wolves and their habits in Alaska during the period 1948-1954 generally confirm published
reports of these phenomena elsewhere. Significant finding in Alaska include: the late pupping season May and June; the predominance
of black wolves in the forested sections and of gray wolves on the Arctic tundra; the well-defined wolf trails on the islands
of Southeastern Alaska and their movements in the arctic governed by the pattern of caribou migrations; distribution limited
by physical barriers and the presence of big game animals, principally caribou; wolves occur most frequently in pairs and
the average pack numbers five animals; the largest wolf weighed was 112 pounds with the average weight of males being 90 lbs.
and females 67 pounds.; abstract: Widespread observations of wolves and their habits in Alaska during the period 1948-1954
