The Grey Wolf can grow to be up to 5 feet long, including their tail, and can weigh up to 150 lbs. The usual fur color is grey but colors sometimes vary from silvery white to black. Their ranges are mostly open forests and tundra areas of the North West.

Wolf packs usually include 4 to 7 related individuals with an Alpha Male and an Alpha Female. These two control the activities of the pack and are usually the only ones to mate and breed within the pack. Pups are born in a den between January and March and are blind and completely helpless, covered with sooty-colored fur. Their eyes open after about 8 days and they are fed and trained by the entire pack. The cubs are full grown at 18 months. The females mature at 2 years and the males at 3 years. The pack members communicate with each other by the use of posture, voice and scent. Each wolf's scent is distinct, and one member of a pack will recognize the scent of any other member. Where posture is concerned, the more upright you are, the higher in the pack you are. Wolves will crouch and tuck their tails under their legs when confronted by a stronger or higher ranked wolf.

The diet of the wolf consists mostly of small animals and birds. One wolf is powerful enough to bring down a young deer, but pack cooperation is necessary to hunt and kill their larger prey. The wolf can eat 1/5 of it's body weight at one feeding and can go for many days without eating.
