The Alaskan tundra wolf (Canis lupus tundrarum), also known as the barren-ground wolf,[2] is a possible subspecies of gray wolf native to the barren grounds of the Arctic Coast region from near Point Barrow eastward toward Hudson Bay and probably northwards to the Arctic Archipelago. It was named in 1912 by Gerrit Smith Miller, who noted that it closely approaches the Great Plains wolf in skull and tooth morphology, though possessing a narrower rostrum and palate.[3] It is a large, white-colored wolf closely resembling C. l. pambasileus, though lighter in color.[4]
As of 2005[update],[5] it is considered a valid subspecies by MSW3, though it is classed as a synonym of C. l. occidentalis by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service.[6]
