Canada’s most beautiful and beloved species: the inimitable wolf. The reverse design by Canadian artist Pierre Leduc features a howling wolf in its natural habitat, presented in full colour over an engraved surface. Four subspecies of Canis lupus are found across northern and western Canada and in the region around the Great Lakes. Canis lupus lycaon, the Eastern Timber Wolf, prowls the south-eastern region of the Great Lakes. Canis lupus arctos, the Arctic Wolf, dwells in the far north. Canis lupus nubilus, known as the Great Plains Wolf or Buffalo Wolf, stalks the south-central region just west of the Great Lakes. Some experts believe that howling-that eerie hallmark of this unique species-is a key element of territory establishment, acting both as a warning to other packs and a summons to other pack members.
