White Wolves

 

White wolves, such as the Hudson Bay wolf here at Woodside, is both a stunning, yet elusive sub-species of the Grey Wolf. Native to Northern Canada, they are perfectly adapted for life in the cold. Thick coats, long legs and huge paws allow them to stay warm, dry and nimble during a harsh Canadian winter.

Although their conservation status has not yet been evaluated, the Hudson Bay Wolf is commonly considered as an endangered sub-species.

Is This My Best Side?

When you visit Woodside you will often hear the wolves in full song as they love to howl several times a day. Very often it is Toba who will set them all off, as she’s the noisy one!
