Vancouver Coastal Sea wolf

They are a unique subspecies of wolf due to their semi-aquatic lifestyle, which includes a diet that is almost entirely marine-based.

The wolves play important roles in the cultures and spiritual beliefs of local indigenous people

One of the defining features of this subspecies is their movements between islands, in some cases swimming up to 12 kilometres (7.5 miles) between landmasses.

Along the coast, they will forage for barnacles, clams, mussels, and crabs, digging into the sand with their paws and using powerful jaw muscles to break open shells.

Coastal wolves will also actively hunt marine mammals like otters, seals, and their offspring

Wikibin | Deleted Wikipedia Article Archive

From the "About" page:

Wikibin is a free, open archive dedicated to preserving Wikipedia articles that have been deleted. We believe in the free flow of information and the importance of preserving knowledge—even when it doesn't meet Wikipedia's strict notability guidelines.

...

Wikipedia's notability requirements, while well-intentioned, can be exclusionary:

  • Emerging topics often lack "reliable sources" because they're too new
  • Local history and culture may not have national press coverage
  • Marginalized voices are often underrepresented in mainstream media
  • Technical and niche subjects may only be documented in specialized publications

By preserving these articles, we create a more complete historical record and support researchers, journalists, and curious minds who seek information beyond what Wikipedia deems "notable."

Have you used this site? Do you think it's a good thing that it exists?
