Only three different wolf species!


So many folks don’t know that there are only three wolf species in the US. Check out these pictures to see some of the visual differences.

They are the Canis lupus (the gray wolf):



Canis lupus lycaon (the eastern wolf):



Canis rufus (the red wolf):




If someone speaks of a timber wolf or arctic wolf, these are gray wolves, just a subspecies.
