The Gray Wolf

The Gray Wolf, also known as Canis lupus, is a large and furry animal that hoofs it across North America, Europe, and Asia. With a strong body, huge paws, sharp teeth, and a thick fur coat that can be various shades of gray, white, brown or black, these pack animals are as beautiful as they are intelligent. They are the largest member of the canine Family, including your pet dog, and they howl to each other to communicate, which you can sometimes hear for miles in quiet, wilderness areas!

Fun Fact: Wolves don't only howl at the moon - they use their howls to tell each other where they are and even to rally the pack before hunting!

Fun Fact: Unlike the usual "doggy paddle" swim style you might see at the local pet park, wolves are such good swimmers that they've been known to swim distances of up to 8 miles!
