with a maximum of 15 years

The eastern wolf primarily targets small to medium-sized prey items like white-tailed deer and beavers

High anthropogenic wolf mortality limits expansion of eastern wolves outside of protected areas in south-eastern Canada.

The main threat to this wolf is human hunting and trapping outside of the protected areas, which leads to genetic introgression with the eastern coyote due to a lack of mates.

Further human development immediately outside of the protected areas and the negative public perception of wolves are expected to inhibit any further expansion of their range.

Algonquin Provincial Park hosted a Public Wolf Howls attraction, where large groups of visitors were led on expeditions into areas where eastern wolves were sighted the night before.
