We’re getting wolves over here now. I’ve seen a couple from a distance a few times hunting. I’m going to do a Yellowstone if I ever had to kill one, tie his tracker around a log and throw it down the river

I am allowed 5 wolves/season where my cabin is, but would never shoot one unless I had to.

Are they really that big!?
What a monster

Nothing like that here in Australia. Except maybe the german shepherd that lives next door

There are a bunch of subspecies and size varies:

Height: 2.6 – 2.8 ft. (Adult, At Shoulder)
Mass: 66 – 180 lbs (Male, Adult), 51 – 120 lbs (Female, Adult)

As a comparison, my Rotti (on the small side) is around 90 pounds, big ones are ~120.



There are 13 wolf subspecies in North America.

The Northwestern in @beeinak’s photo in Alaska is one of the biggest. Here in and around Yellowstone, we have the Northern Rocky Mountain one, a bit smaller.
