Eastern Wolf (pack of 2/3) - Canis lupus lycaon
The eastern wolf (Canis lupus lycaon) is a subspecies of gray wolf native to the Great Lakes region and southeastern Canada. The subspecies is the product of ancient genetic admixture between the gray wolf and the coyote, however it is regarded as unique and therefore worthy of conservation. There are two forms, the larger being referred to as the Great Lakes wolf and the smaller being the Algonquin wolf. The eastern wolf's morphology is midway between that of the northwestern wolf and the coyote. The fur is typically of a grizzled grayish-brown color mixed with cinnamon. The nape, shoulder and tail region are a mix of black and gray, with the flanks and chest being rufous or creamy. Like the red wolf, the eastern wolf is intermediate in size between the coyote and gray wolf, with females weighing 23.9 kilograms (53 lb) on average and males 30.3 kilograms (67 lb). The eastern wolf primarily targets small to medium-sized prey items like white-tailed deer and beaver, unlike the gray wolf which can effectively hunt large ungulates like caribou, elk, moose and bison. Despite being carnivores, packs in Voyageurs National Park forage for blueberries in much of July and August, when the berries are in season. The past range of the eastern wolf included extreme southern Quebec, extreme southeastern Ontario, and possibly some adjacent areas of the northeastern United States. The range today is an area east of the Great Plains and south of its extension the Prairie Peninsula, Lake Erie and Lake Ontario, and the St. Lawrence River.
Eastern Moose - Alces alces americana
The eastern moose (Alces alces americana) is a subspecies of moose that ranges throughout Eastern Canada, New England and northern New York in present day. It inhabits boreal forests and mixed deciduous forests. It is the third largest North American subspecies, after the western moose and the Alaskan moose. Males are aggressive during mating season and will attack anything that provokes them. The eastern moose's range spans a broad swath of northeastern North America which are in New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, Quebec, Eastern Ontario, Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, northern New York, and northeastern Minnesota. Eastern moose that roam in Cape Breton Highlands National Park, however, are descended from the western moose that originated from Alberta's Elk Island National Park. The population and range of the eastern moose increased in the decades leading up to the early 2000s as reforestation increased habitat area, but in more recent years diseases and parasites, including winter tick and brainworm, have cut into the population. Eastern moose live in thick boreal or mixed forest near large amounts of food. In the summer, they move to have access to wetlands and aquatic vegetation, and prefer temperatures under 15 Celsius. Eastern moose are the third largest subspecies of moose only behind the western moose and the Alaskan moose. Males stand on average 1.7–2.0 m (5.6–6.6 ft) at the shoulder and average 346 kg (1,398 lb). Females stand on average 1.7m (5–6 ft) at the shoulder and weigh 270–360 kg (600–790 lb). Eastern moose antlers have an average span of about 1.5m (5–6 ft) across. Eastern moose are solitary most of the year, only come into contact to mate or compete for breeding rights. Females without calves are mostly peaceful towards humans. Males use mating calls to attract females or challenge other bulls. At 10–11 months young are chased off by their mothers to fend for themselves.
