Grey wolves occur in a variety of colors including black, grey, tan and white. The black ones are a mix of the ancient wolf line existing in North America and dogs brought with humans from Asia over the Alaskan land bridge 11,000 years ago. The black ones are less aggressive than the other colors and they are less prone to distemper. Black colored ones are predominant around the Great Lakes of the US. It is unknown if these crosses were intentional on the part of humans.
