| Description : | Black-brown dark fur wolf without base. Wolf is standing with left paw raised, closed mouth, and yellow plastic eyes. |
| Fonctions : | Wolf populations in the Yukon follow the cycle of their prey, rising and falling with the abundance of food. The winter diet for wolves, when packs are larger, consists mainly of moose, caribou and sheep. In the spring and summer, when packs are dispersed, birds, fish and even berries are consumed. Wolves usually den on south facing slopes of hills or eskers where there is good drainage. Pups are born in early May and are able to travel considerable distances by mid-summer. Wolf pups that survive the perils of the wilderness remain with the adults until the spring of the following year and even then may range in the proximity of the den, joining the family group to hunt the following winter. |
