Wolves have thick fur that covers their bodies. The fur is colored black, brown, gray, or white. They may have a maned head also they have strong legs, long and Strong jaws. Wolves can grow up to 3 1/2 feet long and can weigh up to 55 pound. They can run as fast as 30 miles an hour. Wolves live in forests, mountains or deserts in North America, Europe, Asia, grasslands, and in the arctic.
Wolves are carnivores which means they eat meat. They eat deer, elk, rabbits, ... but their favorite food is moose.
Wolves only have three enemies. They are people, other wolves, and bears.
Wolves have some cool facts about them. One of the coolest facts is that they can go without food for 3 or 4 days. Also a wolf's jaw is strong enough to crush bones.
I think wolves are really fascinating animals.
