Wolves can thrive in a diversity of habitats from the tundra to woodlands, forests, grasslands and deserts.
Today, gray wolves have populations in Alaska, northern Michigan, northern Wisconsin, western Montana, northern Idaho, northeast Oregon and the Yellowstone area of Wyoming. Mexican wolves, a subspecies of the gray wolf, were reintroduced to protected parkland in eastern Arizona and southwest New Mexico. The historic range of the gray wolf covered over two-thirds of the United States.
Equally at home in forests, swamps, and coastal prairies, red wolves can thrive in a wide range of habitats.
Historically the red wolf ranged from southeastern Texas to central Pennsylvania. Today the only place red wolves can be found in the wild is in eastern North Carolina Albemarle Peninsula.
The majority of arctic wolves live in Alaska; however, they are also found in Canada and Greenland. There aren't very many of them left in these countries due to lack of food and habitat to keep them alive.
This particular species of wolf is only found around the areas of Africa, more specifically Ethiopia which is where their namesake comes from; however, there are only about seven locations there that are believed to still be their home. Most of them reside in the mountains but they have also been seen on the plains.
