The Italian wolf is a subspecies of the gray wolf found primarily in the Italian Peninsula. It is characterized by its slender build, long legs, and a thick coat that varies in color from gray to brown. These wolves typically inhabit forests, mountains, and grasslands, where they hunt for prey such as deer and wild boar. Italian wolves are social animals that live in packs, which usually consist of a family group. They communicate through vocalizations, body language, and scent marking. Conservation efforts have been implemented to protect this species, as it faces threats from habitat loss and hunting.
