About the artwork

The wolf is a mammal from the dog family that is found in various regions of the world. There are several species of wolf, including the grey wolf, the red wolf and the tundra wolf.

The wolf is characterised by its dense, furry coat, which can come in different shades, such as grey, brown or black. They have a slender body shape with long legs and a bushy tail. The shoulder height of an adult wolf can be up to one metre, while the length of their body, excluding the tail, can be around one and a half metres.

Wolves usually live in groups called packs. The pack consists of a dominant alpha pair, who take the lead, and their offspring. This hierarchy within the pack helps to secure food and protection.

Wolves are carnivorous animals and feed mainly on large mammals such as deer, elk and buffalo. However, their diet can vary depending on the availability of prey. They are excellent hunters and often work together in packs to bring down their prey.

The wolf is known for its howling howl, which is used to communicate with other members of the pack. This howling sound can be heard over long distances and helps to coordinate hunting activities or warn of danger.

Wolves are a symbol of ferocity and fearlessness, but they also have an important place in the ecological balance. As apex predators, they help control populations of ungulates and contribute to the health of ecosystems.

Unfortunately, wolves have suffered from habitat loss and illegal hunting in some regions of the world. Protecting and conserving their habitats is crucial to ensure the survival of these majestic animals.
