Wnderful sea wolves
One of the main predators in the woodlands of Europe and North America is the wolf.
Additionally, there appears to be a population of sea wolves that consumes seafood despite the fact that they are predominantly predatory animals that live off the small animals they kill.
This is a helpful reminder that wildlife is constantly evolving and that animals may easily adapt to any area.
These unusual wolves, which live close to British Columbia’s Pacific coast, appear to be very different from their relatives.
The fact that these reclusive wolves solely consume fish, namely salmon, sets them apart from their continental cousins.
They are therefore quickly categorised as a pescatarian wolf species.
The ability of these sea wolves to swim for extended periods of time in search of food is another distinctive trait.
Chris Darimont, scientific director of the Raincoast Conservation Foundation, told National Geographic that their most remote observation of their swimming prowess was to an archipelago 7.5 miles from the closest coastline.
These wolves “are smaller in stature and physically dissimilar from their mainland counterparts,” according to Darimont, because of their alien environment.
They move between islands and prey on marine life, exhibiting distinctive behavioural traits.
