Gray wolf (Canis lupus).
The largest gray wolves are found in west-central Canada, Alaska, and across northern Asia.12
While a typical northern male wolf weighs about 45 kg (100 pounds), the species exhibits significant variation based on geographic area, with weights ranging from 14 to 65 kg (31 to 143 pounds). Conversely, the smallest gray wolves tend to be found near the southern end of their distribution, including the Middle East, Arabia, and India.12
