Long answer:

Running Wolves can run very long distances. When going at 5 mph, gray wolves can travel very far effortlessly, thanks to their body structure, which is made for travel. Their paws and toes are flexible, which is good for rocky ground and uneven terrain. This is all good, because wolves travel far just to find good. Gray wolves can also run up to around 40 mph in a brief sprint when trying to catch prey.

Social Life Wolves live in packs, which means they can protect each other and when hunting, they have a far better chancing of taking down their prey. Also, when a mother is in her den and has given birth to pups, others of the pack will leave meat for her.

Digging On wolves' forepaws, they have a fifth toe called a dew claw. This allows them to dig very well when creating a den to give birth to their cubs in or chasing an animal that has run to it's burrow.

Using Teeth and Claws When fighting, a wolf's main weapon is it's teeth. Their sharp canines and strong jaw pressure of 1,500 pounds per square inch helps them pull off meat from a carcass and crush bones.

Howling To locate a separated member of a pack, wolves howl. Their howls can reach out far to allow wolves to communicate at long distances.
