The Dire Wolf

The Dire Wolf (Canis dirus) became extinct somewhere between 4,00 and 16,00 years ago. Dire Wolves were the largest Canid on Earth. The Dire Wolf is also said to be the Gray Wolf's ancestor, because they look almost exactly alkie. Dire Wolves had stronger and more powerful bodies and was faster than the Gray Wolf. Many Dire Wolf fossils were found in Los angles, California near around 1854. Did You Know? Dire Wolves were also different from the Gray Wolf because they were known to hunt alone, not in packs.

The Arabian Wolf

The Arabian Wolf (Canis lupus arab) is the smallest wolf subspecies,yet, the largest canid in Arabia. Arabian Wolves are mostly found in Arabia, first discovered in Arabia, which is how they got their name. Arabian Wolves are pretty rare in Arabia so they are considered endangered. Arabian Wolves have big Ears Similar to the Maned Wolf. Did You Know? The Arabian Wolf's big ears are for cooling off in the hot Arabian sun.

The Maned Wolf

The Maned Wolf (Chrysocyon brachyurus) has been known for hundreds of years for their fox-like looks. Unlike most wolves, Maned Wolves do not form packs. They hunt alone. You can find Maned Wolves in most grasslands of Central and South America. Maned Wolves are not considered to be "true wolves" because they have a little fox and dog in them. The Maned Wolf still eats meat like any other wolf, but will also eat fruits. Did You Know? The Maned Wolf is sometimes called a fox with stilts!

The European Wolf

The European Wolf is the closest relative to the Gray Wolf. They look exactly alike to Gray Wolves but the European Wolves are a bit smaller. Most European Wolves live in the European areas. That is were the European Wolf got its name from. The Gray Wolf and the European wolf both came from Europe. European Wolves are usually very rare in the U.S but are very common in Europe. Europeans usually hunt European Wolves for game and their pelts. The European Wolf is said to have the most prettiest pelt out of all the wolves. I agree.

The Mexican Wolf

The Mexican Wolf(Canis lupus baileyil) is much like the Gray Wolf. The Mexican Wolf is the second largest wolf in the world. You can find Mexican Wolves in mostly the warmer areas around the Equator. Mexican Wolves were first found in Mexico, which is were they got their name from. Mexican wolves look ALMOST like Gray wolves, but they have bigger ears. They keep themselves cool during the hot summers with their big ears.

Enemies of The Wolf

Everybody has Enemies. Even wolves do. Wolves have two enemies in particular; I'll start with the Grizzly Bear. Grizzly Bears a will fight a Wolf for it's food-and Grizzly Bears never back down. They will eat the packs' kill and maybe sometimes even eat the poor defenseless wolf pups. The second Enemy of the wolf-Humans. Humans have hunted wolves for pelts, food, and for fun. Farmers have also hunted wolves because they were eating their livestock. Wolves these days do whatever they can to avoid humans and Grizzly Bears.

What Wolves Eat

Wolves are Carnivores, so they eat mostly meat. The Gray Wolf eats bigger things such as Deer, Elk, and other animals with bigger carcasses. Red Wolves and Arctic Wolves eat smaller animals such as Hares, Mice, small Birds, and other animals with small carcasses. Did you know? Sometimes most wolves will even eat berries off a bush!

The Artic Wolf

The Arctic Wolf (CAnis lupus artos) is one of the least common wolves in the world. Arctic Wolves are mostly found in very cold places such as Alaska, Canada, and a few in New Zealand. Arctic Wolves are also on the Endangered Species List and I think we should stop hunting them! Arctic Wolves tend to be very shy so if you see an arctic wolf, it would most likely run away than attack. In Fact, that is probably what most wolves would do. Just remember: most wolves will actually be more afraid of you than you're afraid of them!

The Red Wolf

The Red Wolf(Canis rufus) is one of the least common wolves to see. Red wolves live in mostly the Southeast areas like Virginia. Red Wolves are much skinnier than other wolves. You might even confuse the Red Wolf with the Common Coyote, because they are so skinny! Did You know? If you ever think about visiting Virginia, you can go to the Virginia Living Museum to look and admire the Red Wolves there!

The Gray Wolf

The Gray Wolf(Canis Lupus) is the largest breed of wolves. Gray wolves are a bit fatter than other wolves, and are the most common wolves around the world. You can find these wolves in Minnesota, and other mostly cold places around the world. Please keep in mind that the Gray Wolves are also on the Endangered Species List, so lets try not to harm them! many farmers around the world used to hunt wolves because they would hunt their livestock. Did you know? The Gray Wolf originally came from Europe!
