Facts about the Gray Wolves

•The Wolf has developed the capacity to survive in the most inhospitable of climates. From the frigid Arctic or barren desert, to the humid Gulf Coast swamps.

• Part of the romance and fear man has had with Wolves is due to the fact they are very intelligent creatures. Upright ears, sharp, pointed muzzles, inquiring eyes, and other facial features instantly convey this. Their heads closely resemble that of a german shepherd dog or husky dog, although the skull is broader and more massive.

•The wolf has five toes on each forefoot, but only four are actually needed. The fifth toe is found up on the middle of the foot and is known as the dew claw. There are just four toes on each of the hind feet.
