Canis lupus

For more than nine million years wolves have adapted and thrived in an ever-changing environment. They have encountered and persisted through global climate, human population expansion, physical and population changes of their prey, and also their own species' physical and psychological evolution. This flexibility has granted the wolf the most extensive historic range of any land mammal, being found nearly everywhere in the Northern Hemisphere above 20 degrees north latitude.
