Although the wolf (Canis Lupus) is known as "grey wolf", the color of this mammal has many variations. It can run from white or grey-white to pure black. The fur can be grey, tan, brownish, reddish or a combination of these colors, with many different shades and no distinctive pattern. Often, the coat is darker on the back (as seen in German Shepherd dogs), and lighter (yellowish or light-grey in the underparts). The tip of the tail is usually black. The color of an individual wolf can vary with the season (being lighter in the cold season), or with the age. There are also variations in the eye color which can go from yellowish (amber) to pale green and brown. Albino wolves, which are exceptionally rare in the wild, have white coat and pink eyes. But, as with different albino pets, this is due to a genetic lack of melanin (a dark pigment) production. White, non-albino populations of wolves can be found especially in the Northern areas permanently covered with snow. No wolves have ice-blue eyes like Siberian Husky dogs. The existence of blue-eyed wolves is probably a myth; only puppies have blue eyes, but this color changes at the age of 6 weeks or so.
