Wolves are legendary because of their howl, which they use to communicate. A lone
wolf howls to attract the attention of his pack, while 1. communal howls may send
territorial messages from one pack to another. Much like barking domestic dogs, wolves
may simply begin 2. howling because a nearby wolf has already begun.
Wolves are the largest members of the dog family. Gray wolves are by far the most
common and were once 3. found all over the Northern Hemisphere. Though wolves
almost never attack humans, they are considered one of the world's most 4. fearsome
animals. They do attack domestic animals, and countless wolves have been shot, trapped,
and poisoned because of this 5. tendency
Red wolves live in the southeastern United States, where they are endangered. These
animals actually became extinct in the wild in 1980. Scientists 6. estabilished a breeding
program with a small number of 7. captive red wolves, and have reintroduced the animal
to North Carolina.
The maned wolf lives in South America. Physically, this animal 8. resembles a large,
red fox more than its wolf relatives.
Wolves live and hunt in packs of around six to ten animals. They are known to roam
large distances, perhaps 20 kilometers in a single day. These social animals cooperate on
their 9. preferred prey - large animals such as deer, elk, and moose. When they are
successful, wolves do not eat in moderation. A single animal can consume 9 kilograms of
meat at a sitting. Wolves also eat smaller mammals, birds, fish, lizards, snakes and fruit.
Wolf packs are established according to a strict 10. hierarchy The dominant male is
at the top and his mate not far behind. Usually, this male and female are the only animals
of the pack to breed. All of a pack's adults help to care for young pups by bringing them
food and watching them, while others hunt.
