The wolf, also known as the timber wolf or western wolf, is a canine native to the wilderness and remote areas of Eurasia and North America. It is one of the world's best-known and most-researched animals, with probably more books written about it than any other wildlife species. It is a social animal, travelling in families consisting of a mated pair, accompanied by the pair's adult offspring. The wolf is an apex predator throughout its range, with only humans and tigers posing a serious threat to it. The gray wolf has very dense and fluffy winter fur, with short underfur and long, coarse guard hairs. Coat color ranges from almost pure white through various shades of blond, cream, and ochre to grays, browns, and blacks. Wolves are highly territorial animals, and generally establish territories far larger than they require to survive in order to assure a steady supply of prey. Although social animals, single wolves or mated pairs typically have higher success rates in hunting than do large packs. Gray wolves howl to assemble the pack, to locate each other during a storm or unfamiliar territory and to communicate across great distances. They live in a variety of habitats, raging from deserts, grasslands, forests to arctic tundras. Click start and see this impressive wild animal in this fun puzzle game. Have fun!
