Hokkaido Wolf

The Hokkaido wolf is a subspecies of gray wolf that lived in Hokkaido, Japan. They were once on a brink of extinction, but several conservationists have saved this animal from extinction and was reintroduced back to Japan, where they are thriving once again. They are carnivores, feeding mainly on sika deer, red deer (introduced), wild boars, serows, quaggas (introduced), antelopes (introduced), elks (introduced) and sambar deer (introduced). They were also introduced to mainland North America, where they thrive in North America's forests, savannas, scrublands and grasslands.
