Swift of foot paired with stealthy hunting skills, wolves have long been considered a dangerous predator.
They have been hunted for their warm fur. Ranchers have killed wolf packs to protect their cattle.
Many wolf species have been over-hunted and are now listed as endangered. They have been hunted until near extinction.
Recently, wolves have been recognized as an integral part in the precarious balance of nature found in the wild.
These fascinating creatures live in tightly formed, hierarchical packs that offer protection for the pack members and add to the longevity of individual wolves.
Today we’re going to write everything we can about these beautiful yet much maligned animals.
