Their home

Today gray wolves have populations in Alaska, northern Michigan, northern Wisconsin, western Montana, northern Idaho, northeast Oregon, and the Yellowstone area of Wyoming. Mexican wolves, a subspecies of the gray wolf, were reintroduced to protected parkland in eastern Arizona and southwest New Mexico. Wolfs can be spotted in many biomes like in the tundra, the grasslands, woodlands, forests and deserts and in each of their own biome there you will be able to different types of wolfs in each type of different biomes. The range of gray wolfs have covered two thirds of the united states. Wolves communicate through body language, scent marking, barking, growling, and howling. Much of their communication is about reinforcing the social hierarchy of the pack. When a wolf wants to show that it is submissive to another wolf, it will crouch, whimper, tuck in its tail, lick the other wolf's mouth which is very gross, or roll over on its back. Wolfs usually live in hunt in packs of 6 to 12 but some wolfs can even live in packs of 30 sometimes until some wolfs break up and find their own place to find a new pack. Within the pack there are males and females. Males usually keep an eye on the females protecting them and females are usually the ones giving birth and keeping an eye on him. Wolfs allow their kids to find new packs at the age of 3 and leave their parents alone. Some wolfs can even travel 100's of miles to find a new pack going through many difficulties to find the new pack. The wolf pups are usually born in a den. At birth, they cannot see or hear and weigh about one pound. The pups are weaned at about six weeks. Adult pack members swallow meat and bring it back to the den for their pups. After the adults regurgitate the food, the pups have a hearty meal. The mother wolf moves her pups to new den sites every couple of months until the fall, when the pack stops living at den sites. In the wild, wolves live 8 to 13 years, sometimes more. In captivity, they live upward of 15 years if they are kept safely somewhere safe. Wolves work together to hunt, raise their young, and protect their territory. Wolves communicate with more than howls. They whimper and whine, growl and bark, yelp and snarl. They also use scents produced by their bodies to communicate. A wolf’s sense of smell is 100 times stronger than a human’s. Wolfs lives are in danger because many people are hunting their skin only for protection from the snow. when they hunt the wolf down they take off their skin and then they use it to sell and make money for making very comfy and warm jackets for the winter. Wolves are threatened by conflict with humans and intolerance, and the loss of both habitat and protections under state and federal endangered species laws. Mexican wolfs were once a species of thousands before humankind started hunting them and they are now nearly extinct and they are now taken care of.Wolves are known as the largest dog family When a wolf wants to challenge another wolf, it will growl or lay its ears back on its head. A playful wolf dances and bows. Barking is used as a warning, and howling is for long-distance communication to pull a pack back together and to keep strangers away or to call help if it even needs help.Gray wolves usually live in packs of up to two dozen individuals; packs numbering 6 to 10 are most common. A pack is basically a family group consisting of an adult breeding pair (the alpha male and alpha female) and their offspring of various ages.
