Gray Wolf

The largest member of the Canidae family, the gray wolf is powerfully built and has incredible endurance. Measuring six feet from head to tail and weighing 170 pounds, the gray wolf is a highly efficient predator. It varies in color from white in Arctic regions to black in parts of North America, but is usually grayish. The wolf lives in packs of up to fifteen that are controlled by a strict hierarchical system. The wolf hunts large herbivores, including deer, bison, elk and mountain sheep. Because of the structure of the hierarchical system within the pack, only one female in the pack reproduces. Mating occurs generally in the months of January and February. Gestation lasts for sixty-three days, with the female producing four to seven cubs. The gray wolf once roamed throughout the palearctic and nearctic regions but has a more limited range today.
