Against what we see from our werewolves we so deeply love, humans and werewolves might not be so alike after all. Besides the obvious physical attributes, much of it stems from heritage anyways, where they grow up. There will always be a more primitive instinct from a werewolf, and some things they simply cannot control.

•Let's start with all the physical characteristics of our werewolves:

-Werewolves tend to have slightly worse vision than humans, there are always exceptions of course, but generally they wouldn't need glasses because of other senses. Depending on how Wolf prominent they are a slight color blindness becomes more prominent.  This knocks out most Red, green, orange, and purple tints.
-Their sense of smell is significantly greater than other species, in fact most of the time they will rely on their nose more than their eyes, it just isn't apparent. They are able to sense the slight changes of body chemicals produced during pregnancy, also using the same methods to detect certain medical occurrences like seizures, blood sugar (Hige isn't a good doctor purely on skill) It also allows them to easily tell if someone is feeling really stressed out. To put it in perspective, humans have around 5 million olfactory receptors (smelly smellers) in their nose vs a werewolves 220 million olfactory receptors, sometimes more depending on type. They able to single out smells for up to a mile and a half, again varying on breed.
-In silence they could detect noise from up to 5 miles away, their hearing on a much grander scale than humans. This is as long as they have their ears out of not in wolf form. It's good for singling out noises, however wether ears are out or not they can hear up to 80 khz (the upper auditory limits for humans is 20 khz, when you hear anything above that it goes so high you can't hear it).
-Werewolves have 42 teeth (Dark coated werewolves have double layered teeth so double everything), 12 incisors, 4 canines, 16 pre-molars, and 10 molars, they generally have all of them by age 16. They loose their teeth in Three cycles. First comes in the incisors, then very dull canines, after those are lost around age 5 they grow in the incisors, and premolars, they loose the canines last and slightly sharper ones don't come in till about 13 years of age. Around ten is when they loose the middle stage teeth and grow in all 40, again the canines not coming in till 15-16, this time adult teeth and very sharp. Teeth grow significantly upon morphing into wolf form depending on size.
-They generally have faster growing and stronger nails than a human would have, naturally growing a bit sharp. Of course you can always file those suckers tho. These morph into claws in wolf form.
-They are heavy. Werewolves tend to be more lean because of their insane metabolism, but they weigh a real good amount. Mass is compacted from wolf form, a lot of weight is converted to kinetic energy and stored (lots of science. I'm not writing all that down -p-) so Scout for example, instead of saying she weighs 6,000 lbs we can say she might weigh 18-200 lbs in human form. Thanks science!
-That being said werewolves also tend to be a bit stronger and quicker than a boring ol human (Leiko: -.-...)(okay chill chill) their anatomy is a bit different even in human form, reinforced tendons with more lean muscle, the most difference is in jaw structure. Believe me you don't wanna get bit by an angry wolf child. You will bleed a lot. However in wolf form....if you got like hit by an adult werewolf meaning to kill, you could very well die. If it was a pureblood, being 2-3x larger than average, just say night night. In wolf form the average bite force is around 400 PSI (that's pounds) a dark werewolf around 600 PSI, a pureblood around 1,000 PSI if pushed to life or death situation.
-Of course they have a good ol tail to improve their agility and serve as a counterbalance when they make sharp turns while traveling at high speeds. Children who learn to have their tail out in human form make very tricky tag players.
-They are able to "pop" (really just morphing of the ears) out their good ol fluffy ears! They are also widely used for expression, Here is a diagram were the hair to be moved and the ears stuck straight up. (would be weird to have two ears am I right) (Nerreza: is is why I hate u
