The Gray Wolf (Canis lupus; also spelled Grey Wolf, also known as Timber Wolf) is a mammal in the order Carnivora. The Gray Wolf shares a common ancestry with the domestic dog (Canis lupus familiaris), as evidenced by DNA sequencing and genetic drift studies.Gray wolves were once abundant and distributed over much of North America, Eurasia, and the Middle East. Today, for a variety of human-related reasons, including widespread habitat destruction and excessive hunting, wolves inhabit only a very limited portion of their former range. Though listed as a species of least concern for extinction worldwide, for some regions including the Continental United States, the species is listed as endangered or threatened.
The Gray Wolf, being a keystone predator, is an important part of the ecosystems to which it typically belongs. The wide range of habitats where wolves thrive reflects their adaptability as a species, and includes temperate forests, mountains, tundra, taiga, and grasslands.

  • I bet that if planet Earth could speak it would say "No, the problem is not the wolves or other animals, I have always been at peace with them. The problem is the human animal. Cutting my trees, poisoning my atmosphere. Dumping toxins into my oceans. The problem is that there are too many greedy humans."

  • @Rockholm66 Stop spreading your hatred under every video about wolves, you stupid, dumb, hunter.

    Why do you hate wolves so much? Because they kill, for food, your "game animals" so you can't kill all of them for fun?

    Wolves are hunters, just like you. The only difference is that they hunt for food, you hunt for fun, because you are a sick f*ck who enjoy killing animals. Live with it...

    Also, your website is so funny. Full of missinformation and hatred. Is that all you hunters know to do?

  • I remember once driving down a road and seeing 2 timbers walking across a field about a 1/2-3/4 of a mile away, they were so big I actually thought they were deer until I got close enough to see they were wolves. Such majestic animals

  • @ShenKuei1987 i 100% agree
