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 gray wolf weighs about 45 kg (100 pounds), their weight can range from 14 to 65 kg (31 to 143 pounds) depending on the geographic area. In contrast, the smallest wolves tend to be found near the southern end of their distribution, such as in the Middle East, Arabia, and India.12
