Wolves are native to Eurasia and which other continent?
Answer
North America
Answer
North America
Wolves are native to Eurasia and North America.
The gray wolf, Canis lupus, has one of the broadest natural distributions of any terrestrial mammal. Eurasia includes Europe and Asia, while North America includes Canada, Alaska, the contiguous United States, and Mexico. Historically, wolves occupied far more of these regions than they do today.
Their habitats are remarkably varied. Wolves can live in Arctic tundra, boreal forest, temperate woodland, grassland, desert, shrubland, wetlands, and mountainous country. They are most often associated with remote areas today because persecution, habitat loss, roads, and conflicts over livestock have eliminated them from much of their former range.
Antarctica and Australia are not native ranges of the gray wolf. South America also lacks native gray wolf populations, although it has several other wild canids, including the maned wolf. In North America, wolf populations include distinctive regional forms such as the Arctic wolf and the Mexican wolf, generally treated as subspecies or conservation units depending on the classification used.
