Grey wolves, also known as Canis lupus, are large carnivorous mammals found in various habitats across North America, Europe, and Asia. They typically have a thick coat of fur that can vary in color from grey to brown, black, or white. Grey wolves are social animals that live in packs, which usually consist of a family group led by an alpha male and female. These wolves are known for their strong hunting skills and often hunt in groups to take down larger prey such as deer and elk. Their vocalizations, including howls, help maintain pack cohesion and communicate with other wolves over long distances. Grey wolves play a crucial role in their ecosystems by helping to control prey populations.
