Wolves along the British Columbia coast, known as sea wolves, survive almost entirely on marine resources, with 90% of their diet coming from the ocean. Genetically distinct from inland wolves, they swim miles each day in search of food.

  6. Not a fan of the AI use here. But I was lucky enough to catch a glimpse of a rain wolf family one early morning while hiking the Nootka Trail last hear. They're extremely skittish so once they saw us they promptly left the beach and returned to the bush but it was genuinely a life highlight.
