The wolf spider is a common type of spider known for its hunting abilities. Unlike many spiders that spin webs to catch prey, wolf spiders actively chase and pounce on their food. They have excellent eyesight, which helps them spot insects and other small creatures in their environment. Wolf spiders are typically brown or gray, allowing them to blend into their surroundings. They can be found in various habitats, including gardens, forests, and grasslands. These spiders are not aggressive towards humans, but they may bite if threatened, causing mild pain and irritation.
