gray wolf
The gray wolf, also known as Canis lupus, is a large canine native to Eurasia and North America. It is distinctive for its large size, being the largest member of the Canidae family, and its powerful build. It has thick fur that varies in color from pure white to solid black, but most commonly being a mix of grays. Gray wolves are known for living and hunting in packs, using coordinated strategies to bring down prey. They are highly territorial and communicate through a series of howls, barks, growls, and whines. They are also the species from which domestic dogs are believed to have descended.

Gray wolf
The gray wolf or grey wolf is a species of canid native to the wilderness and remote areas of North America, Eurasia, and North Africa. It is the largest member of its family, with males averaging 43–45 kg, and females 36–38.5 kg. It is similar in general appearance and proportions to a German shepherd, or sled dog, but has a larger head, narrower chest, longer legs, straighter tail and bigger paws. Its winter fur is long and bushy, and predominantly a mottled gray in colour, although nearly pure white, red, or brown to black also occur. Within the genus Canis, the gray wolf represents a more specialised and progressive form than its smaller cousins, as demonstrated by its morphological adaptations to hunting large prey, its more gregarious nature and its highly advanced expressive behavior. It is a social animal, travelling in nuclear families consisting of a mated pair, accompanied by the pair's adult offspring. The gray wolf is typically an apex predator throughout its range, with only humans and tigers posing a serious threat to it. It feeds primarily on large ungulates, though it also eats smaller animals, livestock, carrion, and garbage.
