WOLVES

Wolves live in groups called a pack. Which is usaully made up of a male and female leader(Alpha male and female).The pack works as a team to hunt and care for their young.

An average male weighs 80 - 90 lbs. and females average between 60 - 80 lbs. Pups average 1 lb. at birth and grow rapidly to adult size in about 9 months.Pups run their first winter with the pack.

Wolves are predators who feed mainly on animals such as deer, elk, moose, or buffalo and they even eat rabbit, beaver, or mice if they have to.They will not attack humans unless they are threatend or rabid.

Wolves are generally afraid and shy to be around humans so they avoid them whenever possible in the wild

A LONE WOLF

She shows her fangs so sharp and true Her face mean yet so kind

She protects her pups from harms way I love wolves in this day

She will not attack unless forced She is a gentle creature of the forest

She has a beautiful black coat and gleaming eyes She warns her pups of dangerous skies

They call out to their pack But no answer comes back

The pack has moved on to look for deer And they have been left here

They call to their pack for a clue None have seen them in the morning dew

Their pack has flown They are alone
