After converting it into proper grammar through several edits and reading it in context, I decided that the last paragraph about an extinct wolf of the same name contradicted the main body of the article, and just deleted it. The article is also poorly cited and I'm adding the corresponding tag now. Matt Gies 01:34, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
See this range map showing nubilus as an extant subspecies. Should it be recoloured as occidentalis or something? Mariomassone ( talk) 13:56, 12 March 2018 (UTC)
In 1995, the American mammologist Robert M. Nowak analyzed data on the skull morphology of wolf specimens from around the world. For North America, he proposed that there were only five subspecies of gray wolf. These include a large toothed arctic wolf named C. l. arctos, a large wolf from Alaska and western Canada named C. l. occidentalis, a small wolf from southeast Canada named C. l. lycaon, a small wolf from the southwest named C. l. baileyi, and a moderate-sized wolf that was originally found from Texas to Hudson Bay and from Oregon to New Foundland named C. l. nubilus.[18][19] This proposal was not reflected in the taxonomic classification of Canis lupus subspecies in Mammal Species of the World (2005).[11]
Canis lupus nubilus is NOT extinct . . . extirpated in the lower 48 states, perhaps, but thriving in Canada. The Canadian government's species status page for C. l. nubilus is located at https://wildlife-species.canada.ca/species-risk-registry/species/speciesDetails_e.cfm?sid=607#ot18. Its COSEWIC status is "Not at Risk" and COSEWIC says "Populations are stable, widespread and include large numbers of individuals." Its current range is located in British Columbia.

Not Extinct: They are also STILL in US at a Bridger, Montana wolf sanctuary ( https://myemail.constantcontact.com/Wolf-Haven-acquires-McCleery-Wolf-Foundation-in-Montana.html?soid=1114967834266&aid=QZwR-51dn6Y). Also see http://mccleerywolves.com/. Our family was from Kane, PA - the location of McLeery's original sanctuary. The story of his rescuing these wolves from extinction was widely known and reported in the region for decades, so I am shocked to see the claim they are extinct. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.117.179.99 ( talk) 16:55, 21 February 2020 (UTC)
