The Eurasian Wolf (Canis lupus lupus), also known as the European or Common Wolf, is a subspecies of the Grey Wolf found in Canada and northern USA. Isolated due to human persecution, they exhibit a range of coat colors, primarily greyish brown. They resemble German Shepherds but have longer legs.
Eurasian Wolves are apex predators, hunting wild game like deer and goats, but will also prey on smaller animals and unprotected livestock. These shy creatures prefer sparse woodlands, mountains, and remote grasslands.
Eurasian Wolves live in family-based packs, with only the dominant male and female allowed to mate. They excavate dens and take care of their young for several months.
Human persecution has led to their extinction in many areas, but protection and re-introduction efforts are rebuilding their populations. Education is essential to dispel myths about wolves, emphasizing their shy nature and the rarity of attacks.
