Canis lupus
26
The gray wolf is a large predator from the canine family. This social animal lives and hunts in groups called packs.
The gray wolf differs from jackals and coyotes in larger size, strong jaws, and life in large packs. It is important for nature because it limits the number of herbivores and helps maintain the health of forests.
