Wolves : The gray wolf or grey wolf (Canis lupus), also known as the timber wolf or western wolf, is a canine native to the wilderness and remote areas of Eurasia and North America. It is the largest extant member of its family, with males averaging 43 - 45 kg (95 - 99 Ib), and females 36 - 38.5 kg (79 - 85 Ib). Like the red wolf, it is distinguished from other Canis species by its larger size and less pointed features, particularly on the ears and muzzle. Its winter fur is long and bushy, and predominantly a mottled gray in color, although nearly pure white, red, or brown to black also occur. As of 2005, 37 subspecies of C. lupus are recognised by MSW3

The gray wolf is the second most specialised member of the genus Canis, after the Ethiopian wolf, as demonstrated by its morphological adaptations to hunting large prey, its more gregarious nature, and its highly advanced expressive behaviour. It is nonetheless closely related enough to smaller Canis species, such as the eastern wolf, coyote, and golden jackal to produce fertile hybrids. It is the only species of Canis to have a range encompassing both the Old and New Worlds, and originated in Eurasia during the Pleistocene, colonizing North America on at least three separate occasions during the Rancholabrean. It is a social animal, traveling in nuclear families consisting of a mated pair, accompanied by the pair's adult offspring. The gray wolf is typically an apex predator throughout its range, with only humans and tigers posing a serious threat to it. It feeds primarily on large ungulates, through it also eats smaller animals, livestock, carrion, and garbage

The gray wolf is one of the world's best known and well researched animals, with probably more books written about it than any other wildlife species. It has a long history of association with humans having been despised and hunted in most pastoral communities because of its attacks on livestock, while conversely being respected in some agrarian and hunter-gatherer societies. Although the fear of wolves is pervasive in many human societies, the majority of recorded attacks on people have been attributed to animals suffering from rabies. Non-rabid wolves have attached and killed people, mainly children, but this is rare, as wolves are relatively few, live away from people, and have developed a fear of humans from hunters and shepherds

African gray wolf

The African gray wolf (Canis lupus africanus), also known as the serengeti wolf, the serengeti gray wolf, the subsaharan wolf, and the subsaharan gray wolf, is a subspecies of gray wolf that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced to the open woodlands, grasslands, highlands and forests of Africa to help boost biodiversity. The African gray wolves mostly inhabited the high altitudes and mountainous ranges in the Atlas Mountains and have thicker coats to endure the cold. The African gray wolves live in the grasslands, mountains, steppes and temperate forests of Africa, especially the Atlas Mountains. The African gray wolf are one of the largest subspecies of gray wolves, reaching about the same size as the other large subspecies of gray wolves, the Yukon wolf and the northwestern wolf, weighing on average 60 kilograms (132 Ib) while some African gray wolves can weight about 68 kg (150 Ib). The African gray wolf is a carnivore like all other gray wolf subspecies, mainly feeding on equids, camelids, deer, antelopes, bovids, and other similarity-sized prey. However, it will also scavenge elephant, giraffe and rhinoceros carcasses and prey upon calves if they're vulnerable. The African gray wolves face competition with African wild dogs, giant jackals, giant ethiopian wolves, spotted hyenas, and striped hyenas, which are their main rivals. The conservation status of African gray wolves is Least Concern due to successful efforts, the African gray wolf's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities
