Collection: Gray Wolf - Winter

In winter, the gray wolf ( Canis lupus ) demonstrates impressive resilience in the face of Quebec's most extreme conditions. Its thick, dense fur allows it to withstand freezing temperatures, while its large paws act as natural snowshoes. Packs travel across vast territories in search of prey, including caribou, snowshoe hare, and carrion. Their social organization is highly structured, favoring cooperative hunting. The gray wolf is an essential link in the natural balance, regulating herbivore populations and promoting biodiversity. Although its presence is more difficult to confirm in winter, its tracks in the snow and its characteristic howls reveal its proximity. The wolf embodies the strength, endurance, and mystery of wildlife. Protecting its winter habitats means preserving the integrity of Quebec's northern ecosystems.
