Big game
Wolf (Canis lupus)
•Wolf (Canis lupus) – year-round;
Wolves stand about 66 – 80 cm tall at the shoulder and weigh around 25 – 80 kg[4], with females being approximately 20% smaller than males. The average weight for males is 55 kg and for females 45 kg. The body length is 1.0 – 1.5 m, of which 30 – 50 cm is the tail. The constitution of wolves is suitable for long running - they have a relatively narrow chest and strong back and leg muscles. Wolves can cover long distances, and their wide paws allow them to sink less into the snow than their prey. The anatomy of the wolf differs in some features from that of the domestic dog. A wolf typically has golden eyes, longer legs, larger paws, a more prominent jaw, a longer snout, and a brain that is typically 30% larger than a dog's. Mention should also be made of the prepuce gland on the upper side of the tail, near the base, which is absent in dogs.
