National Wolf Awareness Week – Facts on the Grey Wolf
The Grey Wolf is a member of the dog family (canids) which includes wolves, jackals, coyotes, dogs, and foxes.
Grey wolves are one of the most wide ranging land animals. They live in a wide variety of habitats, from arctic tundra to forest, prairie, and arid landscapes. Due to habitat destruction and other barriers to population growth, Gray Wolf populations are now found only in a few areas of Canada and the United States.
The Grey Wolf is a territorial predator and lives in packs lead by the alpha pair.
Grey Wolf is also known as Wolf, Gray Wolf, Timber Wolf, Tundra Wolf, Lobo, and Prairie Wolf.
