WOLF life.

The wolf is the largest member of the canine family. As the ancestor of the domestic dog, the gray wolf resembles German shepherds or malamutes.

Wolves are amazing creatures that people think are evil. But wolves aren't dangerous and people misunderstood them. Wolves are not as evil as people think. 

A good way to understand wolves is to learn more about them, and here you can.
Today, wolves are protected in some areas, hunted for sport in others, or may be subject to population control or extermination as threats to livestock and pets.

The WOLF Forest Protection Movement
an environmental non-profit non-government organization (NGO) working to preserve natural forests and their wildlife in Slovakia and the whole of Central and Eastern Europe. 


It was established in 1993 as a Slovak movement of friends of forests. The organization was founded by members of the SZOPK (Slovak Union of Nature and Landscape Preservers) group. 
WOLF, lead by Juraj Lukac, has worked in the forests of the Saris region in eastern Slovakia since 1980.
 The experience of this group became a basis for the practical activities of the WOLF Forest Protection Movement.

population of WOLF

During the past two centuries, more and more people have spread out across the world. Wolves need especially large, wild areas to live in, with plenty of food. 

Today, the wolf is classified as an endangered species in all parts of the United States except Minnesota and Alaska. 

The endangered classification means that the killing of wolves is strictly controlled by federal law.

Wolf Population and Distribution

In the U.S. there are an estimated 6,000 to 8,000 wolves in Alaska and 2,700 in the lower 48 states.

Gray WOLF eating habits.

The gray wolf feeds primarily on mammals larger than itself, including deer, moose, wapiti, and bison. 


Beavers are also consistently part of their diet. Gray wolves may hunt singly or in packs. Gray wolves require 2.5 kilograms of meat per day, or approximately one deer every eighteen days. 


However, a wolf may consume almost 10 kg of flesh at one feeding and can fast for two weeks between kills.


When a wolf is a loner, he will take smaller game, such as rabbits, squirrels, and even mice.
