The gray wolf (Canis lupus) is a species of carnivorous mammals from the Canidae family. It is also known as the timber wolf, or western wolf. The wolf resembles a large, sharp-eared dog and is the ancestor of the domestic dog. Its legs are strong and the paws are more elongated than a dog’s. The head is broad-browed and the muzzle is relatively wide. The tail is thick and is usually carried low. The fur consists of two layers. The first layer is rigid hair that resists water and dirt. The second layer is a warm undercoat. Depending on the habitat, wolves have different colors. The body length can reach 160 cm, and the tail up to 52 cm. Body weight can reach up to 80 kg. Wolves hunt in packs. During the chase of their prey, they can reach a speed of up to 65 km/h. Groups coordinate with voice alerts. Wolves communicate by different kinds of howling. A wolf can detect prey at a distance of up to 3 kilometers. Its sense of smell is over 100 times better than that of humans. In the tundra they hunt reindeer; in forests they hunt deer and roe deer; in steppes and deserts mainly antelopes. Wolves rarely attack people, although some cases have been documented.
