1. True love

Once a wolf has found a mate, they tend to stay together for better or worse, through sickness and health, often until death due them part. But it is typically only the alpha male and female that breed, leaving the rest of the adult pack members to help rear the young and ensure their survival.


2. Wolves will die for each other

In addition to this trend toward monogamy, wolves develop such strong social bonds with their family and other loved ones that they have been known to sacrifice themselves for the survival of the pack/family unit. Move over, Romeo and Juliet!

3. It's all in the howl

Perhaps the most well-known characteristic of the gray wolf is its penetrating, hauntingly beautiful howl. This is a primary communication tool, both between lone wolves and their packs, as well as between packs. When it comes to territory, inter-pack howling will determine the size and strength of different packs, often determining whether or not to attack or retreat.


4. Wolves are as long as really tall people—but much faster

The average length of female wolves is 4.5 to 6 feet from nose to tail. Meanwhile, males can grow up to 6.5 feet in length! This is partly why they can sprint at speeds of 36 to 38 miles per hour for short distances, though unless they are on the chase, they tend to cruise at a more leisurely pace of about 5 mph.
