CANADA - DECEMBER 11: Two hundred years ago the grey wolf (canis lupus) was one of the world's most ubiquitous mammals - It inhabited vast swathes of North America, Europe and Asia - The only kinds of environment where it could not survive were deserts, tropical rain forests and high mountain peaks It still lives in great stretches of the Northern Hemisphere, but changes to its habitat and human attempts to hunt it to extinction have considerably reduced its range - In North America wolves are chiefly to be found in sparsely populated areas of Canada in the Yukon (where The Last Trapper is set), British Columbia and the Northwest Territories in Canada on December 11, 2003.
