When you’re at the post office, think wolves. Today, Canada Post issued new stamps focusing on the role wolves play in Canada’s natural habitat. “Wolves contribute significantly to the health and biodiversity of the ecosystem. Intelligent hunters often associated with the North and remote Canadian landscapes, the animals also figure prominently in many Indigenous cultures,” Canada Post notes in its release of the new stamps. “A social animal, wolves use co-operative hunting and share responsibility for raising their young – a behaviour seen in only a small percentage of mammals. With sharp senses that help them detect prey up to 1.6 kilometres away, wolves hunt small and large animals, including caribou, deer, elk, moose, bison and even muskoxen.” Wolves featured across Canada The stamps and collectibles will be available at select postal outlets across Canada August 13.
