Have you ever heard a wolf howl and wondered
about the creature that made that haunting noise?
Well, my report will help you learn more
about these magnificent creatures.

Habitat
My first category is all about habitat. One lone
wolf\pack will need .1 of a square mile. To
mark this territory, a wolf\pack howls. These
territories are in Wisconsin and the Yellowstone
National Park in Wyoming. Trespassing is taken as
a serious offense. Wolves that trespass are
killed by the residents of the territory. Now
read on! For you shall learn about this amazing
animals awesome adaptations.

Adaptations

• The wolf has very strong, keen senses of sight
  and smell and also hearing. An example of its
  hearing is that it can hear another wolf howl
  from up to 5 miles away. An example of its sight
  is that it can see a dear a mile away. A wolf is
  very durable. It has thick pads on its feet so
  that it can run quickly over rough terrain. To
  eat it has jaws that can crush bones. This helps
  them get the last particles of meat. It usually
  lives in packs so that the pack can hunt together
  and successfully. That is all for adaptations.

Diet

• My last category is about food. Wolves need 5
  pounds of food every day. So that they have an
  easy kill, wolves choose the weakest animals to
  attack. Some scientists think that wolves can
  smell sickness in other animals. Lone wolves eat
  small animals in their territory. Packs eat
  moose, elk, and deer and caribou. They need to
  hunt in packs because a mooses hoof can crush a
  wolf's skull. On this diet wolves weigh 50-100
  lbs. That is the end of facts.

• Now that you know all about Gray Wolves you can
  know all about the creature that makes that
  lonely howl at night. One more, overall fact
  Wolves are misunderstood!
• They are misunderstood because of the Grimm
  fairy tale, The Big, Bad Wolf. I know wolves mean
  reputation, but wolves arent all that bad.
  Scientific studies have shown that no wolf right
  in its mind (non-rabid) would attack a human. I
  hope you like my presentation. Now I must be off.
  (to research another animal!)
