The Baffin Island wolf (Canis lupus manningi), also known as the Baffin Island tundra wolf,[3] is a subspecies of grey wolf which resides exclusively on Baffin Island and several nearby islands.[4] It was not formally recognized as a subspecies until 1943, when it was given its taxonomic classification by Anderson.[5] This wolf is recognized as a subspecies of Canis lupus in the taxonomic authority Mammal Species of the World (2005).[6]
