"Tundra wolf" is one of many names for the gray wolf, the largest of all canid species.

Geographic Range

The gray wolf historically lived all over most of the northern hemisphere, as far north as the Arctic Circle and as far south as Central America, central Asia and northern Africa. Due to habitat destruction, human predation and habitat destruction, wolves have a much smaller geographic range in the 21st century. Modern gray wolves are found only in North America and Eurasia. Seven Eurasian and five North American subspecies of gray wolf are officially recognized.

Habitat

Gray wolves are wide ranging and adaptive. Although they stay away from areas heavily cultivated or populated with humans, they can be found in mountains, forests, the Arctic tundra, prairies and deserts. These highly territorial wolves maintain a home range of anywhere between 130 and 8,000 square miles, and viciously defend it against intruders. The size of a wolf pack's home range depends on the amount and density of prey in a given location.
