Canis Lupus- Wolves
The gray wolf is typically native to North America, has a similar build to the German Shepherd. Lying in the canis genus, their closer relatives consist of coyotes and golden jackals. Their main diet may consist of larger animals such as caribou, moose, wild boar, and deer, depending on their environment. They may also have their diet supplemented by fruits and vegetation, such as berries. They work together as a pack to catch most of their food and have a very organized system for catching large prey.
They are generally pack animals, and a mated pair will usually stay together for the rest of their lives. The average litter consists of about four puppies, in which the mother will look after with assistance from the father. Alpha pairs are usually the only pair that are given the right of young. Every alpha has a beta, their second in command. They too have the rights of having youth, but most betas are not a mated pair. Below them are deltas and gammas, who are leaders of certain groups like hunting or fighting. At the very bottom of the pack are the omegas. They are the lowest ranking wolves and naturally the smallest. They get the most abuse of the pack and eat last.
