Notes on the captive wolf ( Canis lupus ) colony, Barrow, Alaska
The Naval Arctic Research Laboratory wolf colony at Barrow, Alaska, originated from 15 pups taken shortly after birth from dens near Anaktuvuk Pass, Alaska. Controlled breeding has resulted in 17 litters. Minimum breeding age for both sexes is 22 months. Maximum observed but not established breeding...
