The northwestern wolf, Canis lupus occidentalis, also known as the Mackenzie Valley wolf or northern timber wolf is a subspecies of gray wolf in western North America. It ranges from the upper Mackenzie River Valley, southward into central Alberta. Wikipedia

Fun fact- The subspecies was first written of by Scottish naturalist Sir John Richardson in 1829. He chose to give it the name occidentalis in reference to its geographic location rather than label it by its color, as it was too variable to warrant such

This is a northern wolf!
