Waheela

Encyclopedia : W : WA : WAH : Waheela


The Waheela is a wolf-like cryptid reported from Nahanni Valley in the Northwest Territories of Canada. Cryptozoologist Ivan Sanderson thought that the waheela might represent a relict population of Amphicyonids, prehistoric bear-dogs. It has also been suggested that the Waheela could be a Dire wolf.

The waheela is similar to the Shunka Warakin, but inhabits a far more northern habitat. It is also similar to Amarok, a giant wolf from Canadian mythology. It is reported to travel alone and not in packs as modern wolves do.
