	灰狼亞種在北美洲的分布

基奈半島狼（學名：Canis lupus alces）是一個灰狼亞種。原分布在阿拉斯加州基奈半島，因人類捕殺而於1925年滅絕^[3]。

體型[編輯]

基奈半島狼在被滅絕之前是北美最大的狼，身長為5-7英尺（150-215厘米），高35至44英寸（89-112厘米）。它的體長從60英寸到84英寸（5英尺到7英尺）不等，估計最重可達200-250磅^[4]^[5]^[6]。

特徵[編輯]

愛德華·阿方索·戈德曼（英語：Edward Alphonso Goldman）提出，基奈半島狼體型龐大可能是自然選擇的結果，因其主要依賴駝鹿為食^[7]^[8]。

史密森尼學會收藏有基奈半島狼的一塊頭骨標本，編號為「USNM 147471」^[9]。

歷史[編輯]

1941年，基奈半島狼被戈德曼劃分為阿拉斯加州四個灰狼亞種之一^[1]。2005年出版的《世界哺乳動物》也將其認定為灰狼的一個亞種^[10]。

20世紀前，牠們在基奈半島上很常見。然而，1895年，基奈半島開採出金礦，引發淘金熱。懼怕狂犬病的礦工隨即開始濫殺狼群。至1915年，狼群絕跡^[11]^[12]^[13]。1925年，基奈半島狼被宣布滅絕^[14]。

基奈半島狼絕跡五十年後，1960年代，基奈半島被發現有狼群重新定居^[15]。儘管如此，基因組學研究表明，現有狼群與原基奈半島狼的遺傳相似性很小。因此，可以認為該亞種已經絕滅^[16]。
