![]() ![]() It can be assumed however, that as these are the smallest wolves, they are shorter than the Ethiopian wolf at 84-100 cm from nose to tail. These wolves measure around 25–26 inches (64–66 cm) at shoulder height, but information about their length is illusive. They have large ears, and a short, thin beige to grey coat. The Arabian wolf is an omnivore, surviving on mostly small to medium sized desert-dwelling prey. Their size likely helps then to adapt to their hot environment, and is a classical example of the Bergmann rule in nature. They have adapted to the desert conditions and are the smallest subspecies of wolf. They were once widespread across this range, but only exist in a few small areas today. ![]() They are native to ranges around the Arabian and Sinai peninsulas, and also Jordan. The Arabian Wolf is one of the lower-latitude living subspecies of the Grey Wolf. Males are generally larger and heavier than females.ĭespite being vulnerable to the fur trade, Tundra Wolves are currently listed as a species of least concern.Īhmad Qarmish12, CC BY-SA 4.0, via Wikimedia Commons ![]() Again, there are examples that have been larger than this but the norm is within this range. They can stand as tall as 38 inches and weight between 36 and 49 kg. Tundra Wolves can grow to around 112-137 cm (44-54 inches) in length on average, but larger wolves rivalling the size of the Eurasian Wolf and Arctic Wolf have also been reported. Their tail is bushy and their coat has a thick, dense underfur. Males are usually larger than females, and most tundra wolves have a grey color, with mixes of black, rust and silver grey. Consistent with Bergmann’s Rule, tundra wolves are among the largest of grey wolf subspecies. The Tundra Wolf is found throughout northern Europe and Asia, primarily in the northern arctic and boreal regions of Russia and Finland. A third of this length is the length of its tail. The length of the Grey Wolf varies between 50 and 70 inches long from nose tip to tail tip. The hairs in their mane can be as long as 4 – 5 inches long and when stood upright, this makes them appear taller. In winter when their fur is fully grown, their fur can be as long as 2 – 2.5 inches on their backs and sides. Wolves can appear much larger than they already are, this is because of their long fur. Grey Wolves stand between 27- 32 inches at the shoulder. Male Grey Wolves are larger than the females and can even grow to weigh as much as 160-175 pounds in some cases. Grey Wolf species range is sizes from around 75–125 pounds. While wolves can be found widely in some areas of Canada, The United States and Some areas of Europe/Eurasia, they are locally extinct in some countries, such as the UK, Ireland and much of Western Europe. The Grey Wolf is the most populous of wolf species globally, and there are many subspecies across North America and Eurasia. ![]()
