Italian Wolf

The Italian Wolf (Canis lupus italicus) also known as the Apennine Wolf, is a
subspecies of the Grey Wolf found in the Apennine Mountains in Italy. It was
first described in 1921 and recognised as a distinct subspecies in 1999.
Recently due to an increase in population, the subspecies has also been
spotted in areas of Switzerland. During recent years, Italian wolves have also
established themselves in Southern France, particularly in the Parc National
du Mercantour. It is federally protected in all three countries.
