I never thought wolves are really interesting animals before I read this book. Because I had no deep understanding about wolves. But after read this book I understood wolves have their own world and own characters .
Wolves are wild dogs with thick, furry coats and sharp teeth. Most wolves live in families called packs. Together , they roam through forests and across snowy plains, far from towns and cities. A wolf is always on the lookout for other animals to eat its dinner. Silently , a hungry wolf watches, listen and sniffs around, searching for a tasty creature to gobble up.
Wolves have amazing noses. When a wolf sniffs the air, it can smell another animal up to two and half kilometres away. A wolf twists its ears to help it pick up sounds from every direction. What do you think this wolf can hear! Very very amazing!
Scary snarl shows a wolf powerful jaws and strong teeth. The four longest teeth, called fangs, are perfect for grabbing hold of prey. Wolves live together in pack. A wolf pack includes a mother wolf, a father wolf and their young. The wolves in a pack play and hunt for food together. They also look after each other. But the parents are always in charge.
A wolf pup is born in a dry, warm place called a den. This maybe a cave or a hole in the ground.
At first, the pup snuggles up to its mother to drink her milk but three weeks later, it steps out of the den ready for its first adventure. When night falls, hungry wolves go hunting. All the grown- up wolves take part. They hope to catch an animal big enough to feed the whole pack.
A young wolf may leave its family to find a new home and start another pack. Or, it might be forced out because the pack is too big or because it has disobeyed the pack leaders. There are three main types of wolves timber wolves, arctic wolves and red wolves. Red wolves are extremely rare and there are only about 300 red wolves in the whole world.They have brown, grey or black with reddish head, ears and legs. Usually lives in mountains and forests in a small part of USA. Eats mainly small animals such as rats, rabbits and squirrels but sometimes fish,too
They have especially long ears and legs. You would be lucky to see a red wolf in the wild. Most red wolves live in zoos. Now I wanna to talk about timber wolves. They have brown, black, grey or mixture of all three colours fur. Usually lives in forests all over North America. Eats mainly deer but also beavers or other small forest creatures. Timber wolves never look alike. Every wolfs fur coat has a different colour and pattern. A timber wolf is the largest wolf. It maybe 1.7 metres from nose to tail. Last one is Arctic wolves. They have greyish-brown fur in summer and white in winter. Usually lives in snowy plains in the Arctic, a place in the far north of the world. Eats musk oxen, moose, arctic hares or rodents. Arctic wolf has extremely thick fur keeps this wolf warm and cozy in freezing cold weather. Even though we know that wolves are very dangerous animal, we need to save their. Because wolves are part of our world!
