Introduction

Wolves are part of the canine family. They are ferocious dogs & the only difference between them and other dogs is that other dogs are not as powerful as them cause wolves are fast strong and bigger in general.

So the point is that they are very magnificent creatures

Food And Diet

Wolves live and hunt in packs of around six to ten animals. They are known to roam large distances, perhaps 12 miles in a single day. These social animals cooperate on their preferred prey—large animals such as deer, elk, and moose. 

Habitat

The gray wolf lives today in a diverse range of environments, including tundra, mountain areas, woodlands, forests, grasslands, and deserts. An estimated 7,000 wolves live in Alaska. About 5,000 gray wolves live in the lower 48 states, more in Idaho, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, Wisconsin, and Wyoming.

Lifestyle

Wolves kill only to eat - to survive. Because wolves usually hunt for large animals, (although wolves are opportunistic and will eat smaller prey. they work together to catch their prey. Wolves will eat a healthy, strong animal if they can catch it. 

Wolves need an average of three to ten pounds of meat each day.
