Details for Wolf

• Wolf

  Wolves (Canis lupus) are the largest wild members of the dog family (Canidae), known for their intelligence, social complexity, and haunting howls. They typically weigh between 20-80 kg (44-176 lbs) and measure 1.05-1.6 meters (3.5-5.3 feet) from nose to tail tip. Found across diverse habitats in North America, Eurasia, and parts of Africa, wolves are apex predators, preying mainly on large ungulates like deer, elk, and moose. They live in highly organized social groups called packs, led by an alpha pair, and hunt cooperatively. Wolves play a vital role in maintaining ecosystem health by regulating prey populations.
