| |reallife=The Eastern wolf is a separate species, though many people mistakenly think it is a subspecies of the red wolf or gray wolf. It is, however, closely related to these wolves. They are also very similar in appearance to the much-loved huskies of Alaska. They are often thought to be coyotes due to their build and their coloring. The eastern wolf is small to medium in size, as wolves go, with a reddish or light brown coat. They have some longer hairs, usually black in color. There is a faint reddish color behind the ears. As the wolf gets older it will grow more long black hairs. The Eastern wolf is a native of the northeastern side of the Great Lakes region in America, being mainly found in and around Ontario’s Algonquin Provincial Park, also venturing from here into Quebec in Canada. It can also be found in Manitoba and Minnesota. The Eastern wolf lives in coniferous and mixed forests in the north, and deciduous and mixed forests in the south. Eastern wolves are carnivores and they eat large hoofed mammals including elk deer and moose, as well as beavers.

| Eastern wolves are monogamous for their lifetime. The dominant pair in the pack will mate between January and February, with the pups born about two months afterwards, a litter numbering 4 to 7. The female will stay in a den until the pups are about two months old. They stay around the den for 6 - 8 weeks and those that leave the pack do so after 37 weeks.

| The main threat outside protected areas is probably from hunting and trapping, facilitated by roading networks. Research in Algonquin Park has shown that large numbers of deaths probably limits dispersal and changes pack breeding dynamics, causing another main threat: cross-breeding with eastern coyotes due to the scarcity of eastern wolves as mates. Habitat loss and fragmentation due to roading networks and urbanization is another threat to population expansion, as well as negative public attitudes towards them, and established eastern coyote territories.
