Hematology and serum clinical chemistry reference intervals for free-ranging Scandinavian gray wolves (Canis lupus)

Thoresen, SI; Arnemo, Jon M.; Liberg, Olof

Abstract

Compared with published reference values for captive wolves, reference intervals for free-ranging wolves reflected exercise activity associated with capture (higher creatine kinase activity, higher glucose concentration), and differences in nutritional status (higher urea concentration).
