Wolves
People say that wolves are related to dogs. That is because they
are. They are similar to dogs. Their paws both have four small
sections on their paws and one big section on the bottom of thoughts
four sections. Most people think that wolves look exactly like
huskies. That is because of their fur and tail
The average male wolf
weighs between 70 to 100 pounds. About 32 to 45 kilograms and
measures 5 to 6.5 feet. The female wolf is usually smaller then the
male. Their average weight is about 55 to 90 pounds. About 24 to 41
kilograms and a length of 4.5 to 6 feet.
All wolves have the
same body structure but are really different in color of the fur. The
majority of wolves are gray. Even though they’re mostly gray
they have white, black, and chestnut. These colors are on the
wolves’ fur or pelage. Most people see wolves gray but their can
be pups from the same litter and some will be black, chestnut or
cream. These animals usually keep these colors through their
lives.
Like domestic dogs
wolves have 42 teeth. They have 20 in the upper jaw and 22 in the
lower jaw. The wolves four canine teeth or fangs are conspicuous.
They often measuring 25 inches ( 6.25 centimeters.) The teeth help
the wolves get a good gripe on prey. Their other teeth are incisors,
premolars and molars are use full to. These teeth help the wolves
grind and cut their food.
Unlike humans, they
keep the back parts on their feet raised when they run. This is a
method of locomotion called digitigrade movement. This movement is
used by horses, cats, and dogs. Or, animals that need silent movement
or motion.
Wolves hunt in
groups. The group is called the pack. The pack is made of family
members, affection, and aid, also females who have bread their young.
There are usually 6 or 7 members, although their could be as many as
15 wolves. This helps get predators for food.
One of their prey is
the moose. There are 131 moose detected by wolves, usually through
scent. 54 moose get away before a wolf can approach them. 34 moose
outrun or outlasted a wolf. 36 moose stood at bay and fought a wolf.
7 attacked by a wolf. 1 wounded. Finally 6 killed.
