Save the Wolves

Humans are the main threat to the survival of the wolf population. There are conflict with wolves over livestock often resulting in the death of the wolf. Human encroachment into wolf territory results in the loss of the wolf's habitat.

There is also illegal hunting of wolves since all grey wolves in the United States are listed as Endangered.


















People fear and misunderstand wolves and so kill them.

Help save these beautiful creatures!

Pack Communication

Packs communicate primarily through howling. Howling Assembles thep ack, allows communication to other packs, asserts territorial claims, and they just howl for pleasure.

Also, Grey Wolves communicate with their body language. Their faces and tails indicate emotion and pack status.




Scent is another big communication tool. They use scent to identify eachother as well as enemy packs and mark their territory.

Pack Mentality

Wolf packs generally are a group of 4-7 wolves that travel and hunt together.

The pack consists of the Alphas, which are generally the mother and father of some or most of the pups. Then there are the pups and other subordinates. All take part in the raising of the pups and are very nurturing.

 
Wolves develop close relationships and strong bonds with their pack members. They may even sacrifice themselves to protect the pack.

Tasty Morsels

The Grey Wolves are carnivorous, meaning they eat meat. Large hoofed animals such as elk, deer, moose, and caribou are the main part of their diet. However, in hard times, the wolves revert to scavenging to survive.
