Wolves can be chalk white to coal black. They have sharp canines that allow them to rip t
hrough their prey's raw meat and hides. Wolves have all the distinct characteristics of a Husky and other such dogs, however, wolves are much larger. Wolf fur is usually grizzled because they rarely wash and the woodlands tangle their coats. They range in size from 39 to 59 inches long without their tail, which adds another 12 to 20 inches in length. Their shoulder height ranges from 26 to 36 inches. Their weight can range from wolves is 35 to 130 pounds or more.
Young
Wolves breed seasonally between January and April. A female's gestation period is sixty-one to sixty-three days. The young are born in litters of one to eleven pups. Pups are born blind and deaf. They are weaned when eight to ten weeks old, and at age twenty-two to forty-six months old, they become sexually mature. Adult wolves feed their young by regurgitating food since pups are still not able to chew through the fur a
nd meat. Wolves with a litter stay longer in one place than usual until the pups are old enough to hunt and travel. A pup will, on most occasions, stay with his parent until the following winter.
