Kenai Peninsula wolf (''Canis lupus alces''), also known as the Kenai Peninsula grey wolf, was a sub-species of the gray wolf, ''Canis lupus'', that lived on a peninsula in southern Alaska known as Kenai Peninsula. ==History== The Kenai Peninsula wolf was often observed in the early 1890s, when a number of settlers came to the region because of the Klondike Gold Rush. However, by the late 1910s, the wolf population of the peninsula had been almost completely eradicated through hunting and application of strychnine.〔〔Liz Jozwiak and Ted Spraker (December 3, 1999)("Wolves on the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge" –U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Kenai National Wildlife Refuge )〕 Though there are scattered reports of wolf sightings in the area during the 1940s, confirmed re-emergence of wolves on the peninsula didn't occur until the 1960s. The largest recorded individual wolf of this breed was nearly tall at the shoulder, the largest wolf ever recorded or sighted. It is unknown whether the new packs of wolves represented other Alaskan subspecies that colonized the area, or the descendants of a few of the Kenai Peninsula wolves that had survived. It has been shown through DNA studies that, at minimum, Kenai Peninsula wolves mated with other Alaskan subspecies, as the structure of the current wolf population's DNA is similar to other mainland Alaskan subspecies.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.the-wolf-pack.com/subspecies/Kenai-Peninsula-wolf.html )〕
