Many of us have dogs as pets. Our beloved dogs are the descendants of the grey wolf. Also known as timber wolf, the grey wolf is the largest member of the canine family.
Grey wolves usually live in packs of up to two dozen individuals. A pack of grey wolves include the mother and father wolves, their pups, and several other subordinate or young animals. The parents are known as alpha wolves. A pack typically consists of six to ten wolves.
Grey wolves are designed for a predatory way of life. They have a strong build, large canine teeth and powerful jaws that equip them for hunting. They can run at a speed of 60 kilometers per hour as well. They feed on large hoofed mammals, like elk, deer, moose and caribou. In fact, grey wolves roam around most of the time, in search of large prey, but they do not eat humans.
Grey wolves eat as if there is no tomorrow. A single animal can consume around nine kilograms of meat at a sitting!
