THE EURASIAN WOLF

HABITAT

• The Eurasian wolf, also known as the Russian Forest Wolf, is a subspecies of the grey wolf, native to Europe and Russia. However, due to deforestation, this species is being pushed towards Russia.

CHARACTERISTICS

• The Eurasian wolf has short, thick fur. Their size varies from regions, but the average is 76cm at the shoulders and weigh 32 to 59 kilos.

BEHAVIOUR

• These wolves are highly social animals, but due to the small amount of habitat available to the wolves, they form small packs.

REPRODUCTION

• The Eurasian Wolf's mating time is around January to March. Once the female is pregnant, the 6-7 pups are born only seven weeks later, and the male helps to feed them, regurgitating the food.

DIET

• The Eurasian wolf's diet mainly consists of medium sized animals such as wild boars, red deer and occasionally small animals like frogs. The biggest pray that a Eurasian wolf has ever eaten is a yak.
