Collection: Gray Wolf - Summer

The gray wolf ( Canis lupus ) is a discreet but essential super-predator to Quebec's forest ecosystems. In summer, it roams boreal forests, mountains, and sometimes wetlands, often in family packs. This season is marked by the birth and rearing of wolf cubs, raised in the shelter of a den. The wolf primarily hunts deer such as moose or caribou, but also beavers and small mammals. Its role is crucial in regulating prey populations and maintaining ecological balance. Although it sometimes arouses suspicion, it generally avoids humans. The wolf is also a powerful figure in Indigenous culture and Nordic stories. Observing or hearing a wolf howl is a rare and powerful experience. Its preservation requires the protection of large wild territories. In summer, it embodies the strength and discretion of free nature.
