What is the historic range of wolves in North America?

Answer 1

Historically, wolves roamed across much of North America, from the Arctic tundra to southern Mexico, and were found in a variety of habitats including forests, grasslands, and deserts. Their range extended from the Atlantic coast to the Pacific coast, and from Canada and Alaska down through the continental United States and into Mexico. However, due to habitat destruction, hunting, and persecution, their populations significantly declined in the 20th century, resulting in the loss of much of their historic range. Conservation efforts have since helped some populations to recover in certain areas.
