The Tundra Wolf (Canis lupus albus) is a subspecies of the Gray Wolf that can be found throughout northern Europe and Asia, primarily in the northern arctic and boreal regions of Russia. Tundra wolves are among the largest of the gray wolf subspecies (45-57 kg), and can range in colour from the more usual creamy white to the rarer dark variances.
The Tundra Wolf is often confused with the North American Arctic Wolf, Canis lupus arctos.
