The mournful howl of Canis lupus is synonymous with the kind of solitude one finds in the great Canadian outdoors. Curious but elusive, the grey wolf is a highly intelligent and social species that has endured as a symbol of strength and resilience in the wild. Today, many look upon this canine with a sense of reverence for its keen senses and instinct as it moves swiftly and silently across a territory that may encompass hundreds of square kilometres, depending on the abundance of prey.
