The highly social and expressive grey wolves are most well-suited to cooperative hunting of all the canids. Playtime looks pretty much the same though! ©

Trying to learn animals again

Welcome to the wolf pack, let me show you around.

We have two leaders in the wolf pack, first we got Grey

Grey: what's up, top and only leader *glares*

Yeah yeah, don't listen to them. They are just salty for being the only non wolf

Cam: Grey is very salty, but hey everyone. I'm cam, the other leader *laughs* Grey don't like me much.

You'll meet the rest of us later, just beware of the rabid ones, they aren't to be trusted.

((Ooc, welcome to my ask roleplay, I dont have any lore or story line ill really follow. ))

Facts of the Day: 🐺Grey Wolves🐺

Scientific Name: Canis lupus

Length: Up to 6 feet in length 

Weight: Up to 100lbs, largest on record is 175lbs

Lifespan: Average lifespan is between 6 to 8 years, in captivity they live up to 17 years

Reproduction: They mate once a year, generally in early spring. The gestation period for these wolves is about 63 days and they will then give birth to a litter of four to seven pups on average.

Diet: elk, deer boar, livestock like sheeps and cows, and when food is scarce, smaller mammals, reptiles, insects, and fruits or berries. 

Habitat: North America, Europe, Asia, as far north as the Canadian Arctic, to as far south as India. Due to their wide geographical variance, they also live in an abundance of different biomes like Arctic tundras, dense forests, mountains, and dry shrubland.

Status: Least Concern

Summary: Grey Wolves, also known as Timberwolves, are excellent hunters. Their long, powerful legs mean they can run up to 38 mph in sprinting bursts but more often than not trot at a speed of 5 mph. They use their speed to marathon hunt prey, chasing after their prey in slow pursuit until the prey gives out from exhaustion in which the wolves will then seize the opportunity and catch their prey, quickly killing it with their powerful jaws. Interestingly enough, the most well known part of wolves is that they live in packs! The pack normally consists of one monogamous breeding pair, their most recent litter, their pups from previous years and on rare occasions, other male and female wolves that are unrelated. The average pack size is 6 but they have been spotted in packs of 30 before. If a pack gets to a certain size, with involvement form outside wolves, there may be more than one breeding pair per pack.
