Abstract:

We conducted a literature review and contacted several museums to determine the historical occurrence of Wolves (Canis lupus) in the Maritime Provinces. Although there were many anecdotal sighting prior to 1870, no museum specimens originating from the Maritimes were located. Our review suggested that although Wolves were historically present, they were probably not numerous, and were probably extirpated from the Maritime Provinces between 1870 to 1921.
