I read like half of the article and caught myself expecting something about blaming this on global warming. Conditioning goes the long way.

[...] Costal Wolves exhibit the behaviors of mammals that may one day evolve to live in the sea, like ancestors whales and dolphins did in the past. [...]

thank you mobius…and doesn’t it seem feasible that the wolf’s coat could turn pink because of the salmon? salmon themselves are pink because of the krill they eat, so it doesn’t seem a stretch that some of those pigments have a role in wolf coat color…perhaps?

Wow I can’t believe we know so little about these wolves yet people still insist on wearing them.

Coral Harbour a small coomunity (on an island) in Nunavut saw one hunter see about a dozen wolves stalking seals basking on the ice, this was new to him to him they looked like people on the ice but on closer inspection he saw wolves, he did find seal holes with dead kill/s this was on CBC Radion One

The coastal wolf has genetic differences. It’s not a tribe.

Before everyone jumps in at the deep end with conjecture about new “endangered” species, it must be pointed out that to be a species it will have to be shown that this variety cannot interbreed with the grey wolf, or the offspring of such a mating are themselves sterile. At best this will be a sub-species, but more probably a tribe; i.e. a sub-population sharing a common genetic trait.
