The long-legged Hudson Bay wolf is sometimes referred to as the tundra wolf or Canadian wolf. Although in appearance similar to the Arctic wolves, it forms a distinct subspecies within the canine family, Canidae. As the name suggests, this wolf species lives in the grassland and forest as well as in the cold steppe north and west of the Hudson Bay in Canada. The beige to light grey, sometimes nearly white-coloured animals live together in small packs. Their main food is the North American reindeer, which they follow in autumn to warmer areas.

Because of its remarkable hunting abilities, this wolf is revered by the northern First Nations, the indigenous American peoples who live in what is now Canada. Its intelligence and communication skills are also legendary, which is why masks and figures depicting wolves were popular with warriors. In the legends and myths of these tribes, wolves, like bears, are generally considered closely related to humans and are often depicted as their protectors.

This majestic animal presented here has the characteristic light coat of this species, which contains beautiful fine traces of copper red. It was prepared by a Swiss taxidermist after its natural demise in a zoo.
