The wolf is a carnivorous mammal belonging to the Canidae family, which also includes dogs, foxes, and other similar animals. Wolves are known for their social nature, intelligence, and hunting prowess. They typically live and hunt in packs, displaying a highly organized social structure led by an alpha pair.

Wolves have a diverse range of habitats, including forests, tundra, grasslands, and deserts. They are skilled hunters and primarily prey on ungulates (large hoofed mammals) such as deer, elk, and moose. Their hunting tactics involve teamwork, communication through howls, and strategic coordination to take down prey.

Historically, wolves have been both admired and feared by humans. They have appeared in folklore, mythology, and cultural symbolism across various societies, often representing traits like freedom, strength, or cunning.
