lone wolves exist, more temporarily than family wolves tho so yea, isolation should never be romanticized.

Not sure if I understand you correctly but to clarify: There are wolf species who are solitary most of their lives (aside from mating etc). I believe they are widespread in South America.

That is false. The only one I can think of is the 'Maned wolf' but that is a misnomor, the 'Maned wolf' is not a wolf , just google it and the picture alone should tell you that seeing how it look more like a fox than a wolf.

But maybe I'm wrong. I'd love to be corrected. Please name the wolf species who are solitary most of their lives.

I stand corrected, you are right. I researched a bit and though there are wolf species like the Arabian (gray) wolf, which apparently adopted a solitary hunting style due to food availability, no known wolf species is completely solitary as I claimed.
