Wolf in Snow

When anyone thinks of myths and legends that feature a wolf, it is the grey wolf or timber wolf (Canis lupus), that instantly springs to mind. It is native to Eurasia and North America with a population estimated to be around 300,000. A gregarious apex predator which is only threatened by humans and tigers, grey wolves hunt in packs so that they can bring down large prey such as a moose, weighing up to 500 Kg. This wolf howls during a night time blizzard.
