About
The gray wolf is the largest wild canine in the world, standing significantly taller and heavier than a coyote.
As the largest wild member of the dog family, the gray wolf easily dwarfs closely related species like coyotes and jackals. Males are generally up to twenty percent larger and heavier than females. Actual size varies widely across their range, with wolves in northern regions often growing heavier than those in warmer southern areas. Much of their impressive height comes from their long limbs, which help them navigate deep snow.
From Wikipedia
The wolf, also known as the grey wolf or gray wolf, is a canine native to Eurasia and North America. More than thirty subspecies of Canis lupus have been recognized, including the dog and dingo, though grey wolves, as popularly understood, include only naturally occurring wild subspecies.
