The French wolf population at the end of the winter 2022/2023 consisted of an estimated 1,104 wolves, in 128 packs and a few other pairs. This is an increase of the population estimate of 926 to 1,096 wolves done by the OFB in 2021/2022. [6] Population numbers estimate across time is given from Blanco and Sundseth (2023) in the table below:
The population increased again by 1980 to about 75,000, with 32,000 being killed in 1979. [26] Wolf populations in northern Inner Mongolia declined during the 1940s, primarily because of poaching of gazelles, the wolf's main prey. [27] In British-ruled India, wolves were heavily persecuted because of their attacks on sheep, goats and children.
Re-population of wolves from other areas onto the peninsula did not occur until the 1960s. It has been shown through DNA studies that, at minimum, the current population of wolves on the Kenai Peninsula mated with other Alaskan subspecies, as the structure of the current wolf population's DNA is similar to other mainland Alaskan subspecies.

The Alaska subspecies of moose (Alces alces gigas) is the largest in the world; adult males weigh 1,200 to 1,600 pounds (542–725 kg), and adult females weigh 800 to 1,300 pounds (364–591 kg) [43] Alaska's substantial moose population is controlled by predators such as bears and wolves, which prey mainly on vulnerable calves, as well as by ...
Gable said in an area where wolves were recolonizing, similar to what occurred in Wisconsin from the 1970s to the 2010s, the wolf population is likely to show increases until it had filled the ...
The Alexander Archipelago wolf (Canis lupus ligoni), also known as the Islands wolf, [4] is a subspecies of the gray wolf.The coastal wolves of southeast Alaska inhabit the area that includes the Alexander Archipelago, its islands, and a narrow strip of rugged coastline that is biologically isolated from the rest of North America by the Coast Mountains.
The agency said the new genetic method, which produced similar results as the camera method, put last summer’s wolf population at around 1,150 animals — down about 200 from the previous year.
