The wolf is a mammalian species that belongs to the Canidae family, along with coyotes, jackals, and domestic dogs. They are known for their social behavior and have a strong sense of community within their pack. They are carnivores and primarily hunt for large ungulates like deer and elk, but will also eat smaller prey like rabbits and rodents. Wolves have a strong and muscular build with thick fur that can range in color from grey to black, white, and brown. They are found in many different regions of the world, including North America, Europe, and Asia.
