Wolves

Wolves(Canis Lupus)
 A Black-colored Wolf


 These creatures are usually shrouded in mystery. Here are a few facts on things such as where they are native to, their appearance, or their extensive range to uncover what beauty really lies under that shroud.

Wolves can have brown, grey, pure white, black, or cinnamon colored fur. Wolves are carnivorous; therefore, they eat animals such as Deer, Elk, Caribou, Moose, Rabbits, Beavers, and other animals. Mating season for them is around January-February and a litter can consist of 4-7 pups. The mother takes care of these pups until they are of 10 months of age.

These archaic creatures are native to the U.S in the states of Alaska, Idaho, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, Wyoming, Wisconsin, New Mexico, and Arizona, and also some parts of Canada. Over modern recorded times, man caused the death of 200,000 of them, but the population is still 2 million strong.
