Grey wolf (Canis lupus)

The grey wolf (Canis lupus) is a highly adaptable and social carnivore found in diverse habitats across North America, Europe, and Asia. It typically lives and hunts in packs, which helps them pursue larger prey like deer, elk, and moose. Grey wolves are intelligent and cooperative hunters with keen senses of smell and hearing. They play an important role in maintaining healthy ecosystems by controlling prey populations. Wolves are generally shy around humans and tend to avoid contact. They are protected in many areas due to their ecological significance and historical decline caused by hunting and habitat loss.
