Iberian Wolf
Experience the Majestic Iberian Wolf: A Key Predator of the Peninsula.
The Iberian wolf is one of the most iconic and elusive predators of the Iberian Peninsula. With its striking fur, varying in shades of gray and brown, this formidable canid possesses a robust build, reaching lengths of up to 2 meters. Found predominantly in the northern half of Spain, the Iberian wolf inhabits diverse terrains, from dense forests to rugged mountain ranges.
Renowned for its social structure, the Iberian wolf lives in packs led by a dominant alpha pair. Highly adaptable, it is a nocturnal and crepuscular species, known for its unique vocal communication through haunting howls that echo through the wild. Though it’s elusive and often difficult to spot, the best time to observe the Iberian wolf is during spring and summer when the young pups venture out of their dens, offering a rare opportunity to witness family dynamics in the wild.
While sightings can be challenging, we operate in areas with the highest concentrations of this remarkable species, maximizing your chances of encountering one of the peninsula’s top predators. The mating season typically occurs in February, marking an exciting time in the wolf’s annual cycle.
