What You Need to Know About Wolves

Coloring in these printable wolf illustrations is the perfect chance to learn some new animal facts!

Here are thirteen things you may not know about these canines.

1. The Ultimate Team Players: 

Contrary to the idea of the lone wolf, these social butterflies thrive in tight-knit families. Each member, from the tiny pups to the seasoned adults, has a role. From hunting to babysitting, members of their pack work together to survive. 

2. Chatty Cathys of the Canine World:

Wolves don't just howl at the moon for the fun of it; they're actually talking! Each lupine's howl is unique - it's how they recognize each other across the vast wilderness.

3. No Trespassing: 

With territories that can rival small countries, wolves roam vast landscapes but guard their home turf fiercely. They use their urine and feces to leave scent marks throughout their realm. They also use howling as an auditory boundary to ward off potential intruders.

4. Gourmet Hunters: 

These predatory animals are carnivores, with a taste for deer, moose, and elk. Hunting in packs, they take down large, healthy animals. This not only fills their bellies but helps keep the ecosystem balanced.

5. Leaders of the Pack: 

Every pack has its MVPs, the alpha male and female. These top dogs are the king and queen of their furry kingdom, leading hunts and making executive decisions.

6. Marathon, Not a Sprint: 

Wolves are built for endurance, capable of covering distances up to 30 miles (about 48 kilometers) in a single day in pursuit of prey.

7. A Wolf By Any Other Name: 

From the majestic gray wolf to the elusive red wolf, these creatures come in different shapes and sizes. There are several recognized species of wolves, showcasing a diversity that spans across different continents and climates.

8. Bite Force to Be Reckoned With: 

Wolves have about 42 teeth, including four sharp canines up to 2.5 inches long. These knife-like teeth are designed to grasp and hold onto their prey firmly. Their bite force is no-joke, measuring around 1,500 pounds per square inch (psi).

9. Snowshoes Included: 

Did you know wolves have built-in snowshoes? 

These mammals have paws that are large and wide, spreading their weight to prevent sinking in deep snow. The fur between their toes provides extra insulation against cold temperatures. This adaptation allows wolves to move silently and efficiently in pursuit of prey, even in harsh winter conditions.

10. Adaptability Champions: 

Wolves are the ultimate survivalists, making homes in forests, deserts, mountains, and tundras. They adapt through their thick, seasonally changing fur, diverse diet, and flexible social and hunting strategies. 

Whether it's the Ethiopian wolf's high-altitude hunts or the Arctic wolf's snow-white camouflage, each is adapted to its unique environment.

11. It Takes a Village: 

Wolf pups are born blind and deaf, completely dependent on their mom and the pack. It's a full-time job, with everyone chipping in to teach, feed, and protect them.

12. Super Senses:

Wolves have an amazing sense of hearing. They can hear noises up to 6 miles away in the forest and 10 miles in open landscapes. Their sense of smell is equally impressive, letting them smell things several miles away. This is important for tracking prey and moving around their large territories.

13. The Werewolf Myth:

Werewolf legends originated in medieval Europe, blending the actual behaviors of wolves with fantastical elements. Despite not being real animals, the intriguing stories of werewolves have been woven into the fabric of many cultures for  centuries.
