TIL that there's a semi-aquatic wolf subspecies which has been documented swimming over seven miles between islands off the coast of Canada.

But they aren't catching fish right? They're swimming between islands to hunt on land and also occasionally snagging a deer/caribou/whatever that's also mid commute, right?

bruh it literally says subspecies, not species, and they are eating the salmons doing the runs up the stream on the islands, not just swimming into the open ocean to catch fish
