The average weight of an adult wolf varies depending on the species and its geographic location. Generally, adult wolves weigh between 50 and 120 pounds (23 to 54 kilograms). Gray wolves, the most common species, tend to fall within this range, with males often being larger than females. Wolves in colder climates, such as those in Alaska and Canada, typically weigh more than their counterparts in warmer regions due to adaptations for harsh environments. Larger subspecies like the Mackenzie Valley wolf can reach weights of up to 175 pounds (79 kilograms). This variation reflects the wolf’s incredible adaptability.
