Habitat

Little is known about the habitat preferences of Alexander Archipelago wolves (see Kirchhoff 1992). They are found primarily in rugged coastal spruce-hemlock forests in areas frequented by their prey such as deer, beaver, mountain goat, small mammals, waterfowl, spawning salmon, and marine mammals (Kirchhoff 1992, Viereck and Little 1972, Smith et al. 1986, Wood 1990).
