Wolves
Wolves roam and hunt in wild places where there are no people.
There are only a few thousand left because most of their homelands have benn destroyed.
His fur is grey and his eyes are yellow.
He weighs as much as a grown-up man.
When he walks, his paws leave print marks. They're almost as big as a man's hand.
The size of a wolf pack depends on how much food it can find.
In springtime, when the days are warmer, the brown wolf finds a cave and has four cubs.
Wolf cubs tumble in the sunshine. They watch and learn from the wolves around them.
Wolf packs have rules they all obey.
If a young wolf is hungry and crawls too near, the grey wolf shows his teeth and growls a warning.
When the young wolf whimpers and rolls on to his back, that means he's sorry and he'll wait his turn.
Their favourite food is deer and caribou, but they've only eaten mice and weasels.
Their long, strong legs pound through the snow. If the leader gets tired, a new wolf takes over.
The pack chases the moose until he falls.
The wolves attack and their razor-sharp teeth tear up the meat.
A wolf's jaw is powerful enough to break a moose's leg bone.
He sniffs the air and looks around him. His yellow eyes are wild and wary.
