THE GRAY WOLF!

IT IS BIG! IT IS DISCREET IT IS CARNIVOROUS! IT'S THE GRAY WOLF! WITH ITS POWERFUL JAW AND GRIP AND HIS CAMOUFLAGE THIS ANIMAL IS A WONDERFUL HUNTER. AN ADULT GRAY WOLF IS ABOUT 90 CENTIMERES LONG AND WEIGHTS ABOUT 70 KILOGRAMS. THEY FEED FOXES, BISONS, WILD GOATS, MOUNTAIN SHEEPS ETC. ITS FUR GRAY AND WHITE GIVES IT A VERY USEFUL CAMOUGLAGE BECAUSE THEY LIVE IN AREAS WITH SNOW LIKE TUNDRA, MOUNTAINS AND FOREST. THE GRAY WOLF IS BIGGER THAN THE ETHIOPIAN WOLF AND LARGER THAN THE INDIAN WOLF. IN OUR OPINION IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL WOLF AND ONE OF THE BEST HOUNTERS IN THE WORLD
