Wolves communicate through howling, with European wolves having louder howls than North American wolves. They have been hunted by humans because they prey on farm animals. Wolves eat both large prey like moose and bison as well as medium prey such as deer and sheep. While once widespread, wolves are now extinct in many areas and primarily live in Canada, Alaska, Europe, and Asia. Wolf populations declined sharply in the 1970s before protections were established. Wolves live up to 12 years in the wild and over 16 years in captivity, with the recorded maximum being 20 years. The average wolf pack consists of 5 to 11 animals including breeding adults and offspring of varying ages. Wolves are part of the

6. Wolves are now extinct in much of Western
Europe, Mexico and much of the USA. In modern
times, wolves are mostly in Canada, Alaska,
Europe, and Asia.

7. Wolf population declined in the 1970s and
numbered only 100 by 1973 in the United States.

8. The lifespan of wolves differ based on the breed.
Wild wolves can live for up to twelve years, while
wolves in captivity have live for over sixteen
years. The record lifespan of a wolf is twenty
