Did you know that babies wolfs are called pups?

• While the pups are young, the rest of the pack
  brings food for the mother. After the babies are
  done drinking milk from the mother, the mother
  wolf goes out hunting .When the mother comes
  back from hunting, she and other wolves from the
  pack will have to throw up the food to feed the
  babies (regurgitation).

• The Gray Wolf pup is born blind and deaf.

Where Does the Gray Wolf Live?

• Is anybody home? This animal needs a large area
  of forest to hunt. Wow, Do they walk far! A
  pack of gray wolves will wonder as far as 100
  square miles. That is about all the way to Cedar
  Point in Ohio!

There are about 2,500 Gray Wolves in the lower 48
states.

LOOK AT THAT GRAY OLD MAN!!!

• What is big, scary and has gray fur? Gray
  Wolves are the biggest member of the wild
  dog family. There is only one type of wolf
  in Michigan. New groups (or packs) are made
  when a wolf finds a girlfriend.
• Their feet are as big as your moms hand.

The wolves howl to bring other wolves together,
to announce a kill and for the fun of talking.

What's big, mean and eats meat?

• The wolfs diet has a lot of deer, beavers,
  rodents and small mammals, but also could have
  woodchuck, muskrat, coyote, raccoon, insects,
  nuts, berries and grasses. Gray wolves will
  sometimes eat garbage. A Gray wolf will eat up to
  20 pounds, that's as much as a whole Thanksgiving
  turkey.

  meat.
