an ancestor of the Domestic Dog. The Gray Wolf is a powerful and muscular animal. Has a thick bushy tail Gray Wolves vary in color from white in the Arctic to a yellowish brown or nearly black further South. They live in packs that sometimes include more than one family or others besides the family. They hunt together in their packs. The leading male signals his rank by carrying his tail higher than others. Pairs remain together for life. The female gives birth to three to eight pups after about 63 days. Pups are born hairless and first go out of the den at three weeks old. The whole pack helps to take care of the pups. |
