sentences: The Austro-Hungarian wolf ("Canis lupus minor"), also called the reedwolf, is a possibly extinct subspecies of the gray wolf that is thought to have inhabited the Balkan peninsula.
 Its subspecies status and even genus are uncertain, as there are few records and no uncontroversial remains.
 It has even been interpreted as a golden jackal, although a status as a diminutive form of the gray wolf is more commonly accepted.
 It is generally assumed to have gone extinct before 1900.
The Beast of Gévaudan (French: "La Bête du Gévaudan" ; ] , Occitan: "La Bèstia de Gavaudan" ) is the historical name associated with the man-eating gray wolf, dog or wolfdog which terrorized the former province of Gévaudan (modern-day "département" of Lozère and part of Haute-Loire), in the Margeride Mountains in south-central France between 1764 and 1767.
 The attacks, which covered an area stretching 90 by , were said to have been committed by a beast or beasts that had formidable teeth and immense tails according to contemporary eyewitnesses.
Gray Wolf Glacier is located in the US state of Montana.
 The glacier is situated in the Mission Mountains at an elevation of 8000 ft above sea level and is immediately northeast of Gray Wolf Peak.
 The glacier covers approximately 15 acres .
The Arabian wolf ("Canis lupus arabs") is a subspecies of gray wolf which lives on the Arabian peninsula.
 It is the smallest sized wolf known.
 It is a desert-adapted wolf that normally lives in small groups and is omnivorous, eating carrion and garbage as well as small to medium-sized prey.
Gray Wolf Ridge is a spur of the northeastern Olympic Mountains in Washington's Olympic Peninsula.
 Arcing northeast from the Mount Deception - Needles - Mount Clark - Mount Walkinshaw massif, Gray Wolf Ridge is covered by alpine and subalpine forests up to the timberline, leaving the upper elevations of the ridge's six rocky peaks vegetated only by fragile alpine meadows.
 The ridge and its component mountains are markedly steep, as is its primary access route, the Maynard Burn Trail (#816) of Olympic National Forest.
 The higher, western segment of Gray Wolf Ridge lies within the boundary of Olympic National Park.
Great Lakes boreal wolf is an informal term used to describe hybrids between North American gray wolves, eastern wolves and possibly coyotes in the forests surrounding the Great Lakes.
 Introgression of gray wolf genes into Canadian populations of eastern wolves has occurred across eastern Manitoba, northern and eastern Ontario, and into southwestern Quebec.
 In the United States, gray wolves have also introgressed into the eastern wolf populations that once inhabited the western Great Lakes states of Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Michigan.
 Introgressions of coyotes into eastern wolf populations have also occurred in southern Ontario, Quebec, and all over the eastern Great Lakes states.
 While gray wolves in the northern states rarely mate with coyotes, it was long suspected that the eastern wolves which mixed with the gray wolves in the boreal forests may have also had coyote introgressions from past hybridizations with earlier coyote populations, resulting in transmittal of coyote genes into the modern day Great Lakes boreal wolves, which in turn further introduce these coyote and eastern wolf genes into other gray wolf populations.
Jean Chastel (March 31, 1708 – 1790) was a farmer and inn-keeper from the province of Gévaudan in France, noted for killing the Beast of Gévaudan on June 19, 1767 at Mont Mouchet.
When Yellowstone National Park was created in 1872, gray wolf ("Canis lupus") populations were already in decline in Montana, Wyoming and Idaho.
 The creation of the national park did not provide protection for wolves or other predators, and government predator control programs in the first decades of the 1900s essentially helped eliminate the gray wolf from Yellowstone.
 The last wolves were killed in Yellowstone in 1926.
 After that time, sporadic reports of wolves still occurred, but scientists confirmed that sustainable wolf populations had been extirpated and were absent from Yellowstone during the mid-1900s.
The global wolf population is estimated at 300,000 Once abundant over much of North America and Eurasia, the gray wolf inhabits a smaller portion of its former range because of widespread destruction of its habitat, human encroachment of its habitat, and the resulting human-wolf encounters that sparked broad extirpation.
 Considered as a whole, however, the gray wolf is regarded as being of least concern for extinction according to the International Union for the Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources.
 Today, wolves are protected in some areas, hunted for sport in others, or may be subject to extermination as perceived threats to people, livestock and pets.
The Great Plains wolf ("Canis lupus nubilus"), also known as the buffalo wolf, dusky wolf or loafer, is a subspecies of gray wolf whose range once extended throughout the Great Plains from southern Manitoba and Saskatchewan southward to northern Texas.
 Today it is usually found in Ontario, with populations also occurring during the winter months in the western Great Lakes region of Minnesota, Wisconsin and Upper Michigan.
 It is a medium-sized subspecies of variable color, with most specimens being light colored, though black individuals do occur.
 Adult males typically weigh 100 lb (45 kg), though exceptionally large individuals weighing 150 lb (68 kg) have been recorded.
 Along with "C. l. occidentalis", with which it shares a long and complex border, the Great Plains wolf is the most widely spread North American gray wolf, with at least 11 different synonyms.
