The wolf, also known as the gray wolf or grey wolf, is a large canine native to Eurasia and North America.
Publications
- The muzzle is pale ochreous gray, and the area of the lips, cheeks, chin, and throat is white.
- The coat of the Eurasian wolf is a mixture of ochreous (yellow to orange) and rusty ochreous (orange/red/brown) colours with light gray.
- Wolves usually have some hairs that are white, brown, gray and black.
- A wolf's coat colour is determined by its guard hairs.
- Hair length on the middle of the back is 60–70 mm (2+3⁄8–2+3⁄4 in), and the guard hairs on the shoulders generally do not exceed 90 mm (3+1⁄2 in), but can reach 110–130 mm (4+3⁄8–5+1⁄8 in).
- Winter fur is retained longest by lactating females, although with some hair loss around their teats.
- Older wolves generally have more white hairs on the tip of the tail, along the nose, and on the forehead.
- Female wolves tend to have smoother furred limbs than males and generally develop the smoothest overall coats as they age.
- In warm climates, the fur is coarser and scarcer than in northern wolves.
- The warmth of the foot pads is regulated independently from the rest of the body and is maintained at just above tissue-freezing point where the pads come in contact with ice and snow.
- In cold climates, the wolf can reduce the flow of blood near its skin to conserve body heat.

- Wolf fur provides better insulation than dog fur and does not collect ice when warm breath is condensed against it.

- Wolves in northern climates can rest comfortably in open areas at −40 °C (−40 °F) by placing their muzzles between the rear legs and covering their faces with their tail.
- The winter fur is highly resistant to the cold.
- Short, elastic and closely adjacent hairs are present on the limbs from the elbows down to the calcaneal tendons.
- The ears are covered in short hairs and project from the fur.
- The hairs on the cheeks are elongated and form tufts.
- Especially long hairs grow on the shoulders and almost form a crest on the upper part of the neck.
- The longest hairs occur on the back, particularly on the front quarters and neck.
- Most of the undercoat and some guard hairs are shed in spring and grow back in autumn.
- The wolf has very dense and fluffy winter fur, with a short undercoat and long, coarse guard hairs.
- In central Russia, exceptionally large males can reach a weight of 69–79 kg (152–174 lb).
- Wolves weighing over 54 kg (119 lb) are uncommon, though exceptionally large individuals have been recorded in Alaska and Canada.
- The finis are taking their talents to South Beach.

- The size and weight of the modern wolf increases proportionally with latitude in accord with Bergmann's rule.
- The tail measures 29–50 cm (11–20 in) in length, the ears 90–110 mm (3+1⁄2–4+3⁄8 in) in height, and the hind feet are 220–250 mm (8+5⁄8–9+7⁄8 in).
- Adult wolves measure 105–160 cm (41–63 in) in length and 80–85 cm (31–33 in) at shoulder height.
- Females tend to have narrower muzzles and foreheads, thinner necks, slightly shorter legs, and less massive shoulders than males.
- Its molars have a flat chewing surface, but not to the same extent as the coyote, whose diet contains more vegetable matter.
- The teeth are heavy and large, making them better suited to crushing bone than those of other canids, though they are not as specialized as those found in hyenas.
- The skull is 230–280 mm (9–11 in) in length and 130–150 mm (5–6 in) in width.
- The skull is 230–280 mm (9–11 in) in length and 130–150 mm (5–6 in) in width.
- The wolf's head is large and heavy, with a wide forehead, strong jaws and a long, blunt muzzle.
- The ears are relatively small and triangular.[
- which enables the animal to move swiftly, and to overcome the deep snow that covers most of its geographical range in winter.
- The wolf's legs are moderately longer than those of other canids,
- a sloping back, and a heavily muscled neck.
- It is slender and powerfully built, with a large, deeply descending rib cage,
