This January 1, 2002 computer-vended stamp of Finland (Michel #38) depicts the un-domesticated version of the dog, the wolf (Canis lupus). There are only several hundred wolves, at most, in Finland today, and they continue to be culled and poached.

From the suurpedot.fi website, "The wolf (Canis lupus) is a mammal of the canine family. Biologically speaking, it is the same species as the domestic dog. The wolf is the largest canine living in the wild...Wolves communicate with each other via postures, gestures, facial expressions, scent marks and howling. Contrary to what stories tell us, wolves do not howl more than usual during the full moon. Wolves howl to signal the beginning of hunt, to guard their territory and to call the pack together."
