There are about 7,000 - 11,200 Gray Wolves in Alaska, 3,700 in the Great Lakes region and 1,675 in the Northern Rockies. They were put on the endangered list in 1974.
Breeding season occurs one time a year late January-March. New born pups are blind and defenseless. (They gain eyesight at about 20 - 24 days.) The pack takes care of the pups until they fully mature at 10 months of age when they can hunt for them selves.

A lone wolf may howl to attract the attention of their pack, while communal howls might send territorial messages from one pack to another. A wolves howl can be heard ten miles away.
Wolves trot, lope, walk, or gallop. Their legs are long, and they walk at about 4 mph, but can reach 35 mph in a chase. Wolves can keep this pace for hours and are known to cover 60 miles in a single night.
