Animals > Mammal > Wolf:
The wolf is a wild mammal that has a pointed nose, pointed ears,
and a bushy tail far larger than animals such as deer. Wolves
used to be common. Wolves are closely related to coyotes, dogs,
and foxes. They usually eat birds and other small animals, but
they also hunt in packs in Europe, Asia, and North America, but their numbers have been reduced in many areas.
