Wolves and humans have some similarities mainly in social behavior within the wolf pack.
Wolves travel in packs which are often made up of close relatives. This is similar to the family structure among humans. However, the dominant male, the "Alpha", is the one who decides who is a member of the pack, who should get pushed out, who breeds and who doesn't, and his decisions are strictly enforced by his strength and teeth. All the younger, less strong males go out of their way to be on his good side, otherwise, he may kill them or force them to leave the pack and live on their own. Instinct tells wolves to be in packs, so being forced out is still very bad.
This group hierarchy is also like a street gang with a tough leader. Young wolves who try to challenge the Alpha and take his place can also be killed, much in the same way that young people who get involved in gangs get injured or killed. The behavior of the wolves and gangs are quite similar.
Wolves can be called omnivores, since they can eat things like fruit, berries, fish and so on, but they are primarily carnivorous predators that eat meat. Humans, on the other hand, can choose to be entirely vegetarian, or to be an omnivore and eat all kinds of things. In this we are less similar to them.
Wolves are highly intelligent, and they work together to bring down prey. Not all animals are good at working together in a group, and they are only as smart as they need to be to survive. Humans too, are highly intelligent and are very good at working together. But we've learned to sharpen those skills to the degree that we can learn even more and achieve even more together.
In essence, while there are similarities between us and the wolves, there are just as many differences, which is why it is important that we know more about them. Knowing about the creatures we share the Earth with gives us a much better understanding on how we can live together.

Why are wolves gray?
because it needs to blend in with it's habitat.Grey is a common color for grey wolves, but grey wolf is actually the name of the species, canis lupus, and not all members of the grey wolf species are grey. The species includes arctic wolves, which are often white, and desert wolves which are often brown.FYI: The plural of "wolf" is "wolves."Gray wolves are gray because they need to blend in with their habitat gray wolves can also be red, black or maybe brown :)Actually they are grey in the same way we have blond, black, brown, or red hair; because of genes. The grey wolf comes in a variety of colors. From white to black, and grey to brown and some in between. Granted they do not come in purple, green, or blue but they do come in the rare red. So in fact they are as diverse in color as they are in personality.

What is the difference between timber wolves and silver wolves?
well, for starters, there really isn't a breed called Silver Wolf, unless you mean grey wolves. Grey Wolves and Timberwolves are pretty much the exact same thing, as far as I know, and I am a major wolf person. Maybe Timberwolves are Grey Wolves that live in the woods (timber). "Silver Wolf" is also a name of a book series, in case that's where you got it from. i've seen a wolf with silver fur. lots of them... up in the mountains by maryland.
What other animals live in wolf habitats?
There are too many animals that live in the same habitat as wolves to list, however I will list some large animals that have an impact on wolves. Animals that wolves hunt include deer, elk, moose, caribou, wild boar, and even bison. Animals that compete with wolves for food include brown bears and cougars. Wolves have a range that spreads across Europe, Asia, and North America, and there are many different habitats with different types of animals that live in each one.
