The grey wolf is an amazing animal, the largest member of the dog family. Their scientific name is Canis lupus, "Canis" meaning dog in Latin and "lupus" meaning wolf in Latin. Gathering together in groups called packs that contain between 2 and 35 wolves, they hunt deer, sheep, bison, oxen, and small mammals to eat. All wolves are nocturnal, which means "night active.

Wolves are muscular, athletic animals. Most fully grown wolves can jump about 15 feet, and they can even jump backwards! There is a record of a female wolf that jumped nearly 23 feet while chasing prey. On average, wolves can run about 35 miles per hour while chasing prey, which is faster than one would drive while in a neighborhood.

Nose to tail, wolves are about 6 feet long fully grown. Usually about 3 feet tall at the head, one would reach the typical 5-year-old's shoulder. Their jaws help them when bringing down prey or defending themselves with 42 teeth as opposed to a human's 32. Wolves weigh approximately 160 pounds, which is heavier than the average woman. With thick, long fur in shades of white, brown, red, grey, and black, they are sought after and killed for it.

Grey wolves live in North America, but mostly only in the northern parts of the United States of America and Canada. Most wolves usually make their dens in remote areas and dense forests.

Wolves begin to breed at about 2 years of age, producing a litter of 1-13 puppies in the spring, usually in April. Pups are born in the dens, and the mother stays with them until are old enough to explore. Their eyes are light blue at birth, but turn gold as mature. Many people love wolf pups for their curiosity and cuteness, but animals that prey on them do not. Sadly, 30 to 60 percent of wolf puppies die before reaching adulthood due to predators, disease, or starvation.

There are few things as chilling as the eerie, haunting sound of a wolf howling at the moon, but they don't howl to scare humans. Often, wolves howl to say hello to other wolves, to communicate their location, or to mark their territory. Many also howl to gather their pack for a feast if they have made a kill.

Many people think that a timber wolf is different than a grey wolf, but that is just another name for it. Despite legends and stories about werewolves and wolf attacks, there have actually been no confirmed reports of a wolf killing a human being! Another interesting fact about a wolf is that, just like with people, younger wolves must give way to older, larger wolves!

Once, wolves were the most widespread mammals besides humans. People began to kill the wolves because they were pests that ate their sheep and cows that were used for food. Wolves were also killed because their fur was warm and beautiful so people could make it into coats and blankets. Fortunately, many concerned people spread awareness before grey wolves completely died out. In May of 2009, grey wolves were taken off the endangered species list!

We should help to protect these beautiful, breathtaking creatures. Leave forests as you found them, and never litter because wolves might eat the trash and get sick. Donate to organizations that protect animals such as wolves. Most importantly, protect their habitats and volunteer at national parks and animal reserves. If we each do our part to help protect animals that could potentally become endangered, the balance of life will be restored.
Behavior: Gray wolves live in packs of two to 12 wolves, although some larger packs have been seen. A pack may include a breeding pair, offspring from the previous year and the current year, and occasionally an unrelated wolf.
