What is the chordate for a wolf?
Yes. All mammals are vertebrates, and all vertebrates are chordates.
A wolf-dog hybrid (also called a wolf hybrid or wolfdog) is a canid hybrid resulting from the mating of wolf (Canis lupus) and a dog (Canis familiaris). The term "wolfdog" is preferred by most wolfdog proponents and breeders since the domestic dog was recently taxonomically recategorized as a subspecies of wolf.
In first generation hybrids, gray wolves are most often crossed with wolf-like dogs (such as German Shepherd Dogs, Siberian Huskies, and Alaskan Malamutes) for an appearance most appealing to owners desiring to own an exotic pet. Since wolf hybrids are genetic mixtures of wolves and dogs, their physical and behavioral characteristics cannot be predicted with any certainty.
The primary thing that separates wolves from other hunters is the way that the pack works. With many pack hunters, the pack simply follows prey roughly in a line and takes one from the back which is slower than the rest.
With wolves they will place themselves at point along a valley where some of the pack will chase the herd. Then one set of wolves will run down part way through the herd from one side, then another set of wolves will run down from the other side. This splits the herd and makes it easier to pick off one animal.
There is also evidence that wolves call to each other and other packs to tell each other where the large herds are.
However it should be noted that wolves eat a lot of smaller prey such as mice and rabbits.

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.
