Talk:Wolf distribution

Range image (exclusion of Nova Scotia)
I was interested in the apparent absence of NS from the historical range illustration; reading further I found a paper on the subject (https://www.canadianfieldnaturalist.ca/index.php/cfn/article/download/1775/1881) that seems to clarify both the (longstanding) doubts about wolves being non-native to the peninsula, and also that they in fact were demonstrably present in the 19th century. As the range illustration is flagged for update this could be a worthwhile change. 156.57.136.144 (talk) 03:13, 17 August 2020 (UTC)

If someone is able to update the wolf range map in North America, it should include the following (as of February 2023):

- Expanded range in Wyoming (southward)

- Expanded range in Oregon and Washington State (eastward)

- Presence in northern California and northern Colorado

- Expanded Mexican wolf range in Arizona (westward and southward) and New Mexico (eastward and southward)

-Presence in Chihuahua, Mexico Bbreslau (talk) 20:33, 26 February 2023 (UTC)
