*** About Gray Wolves: The gray wolf, known scientifically as Canis lupus, is a keystone species, playing a critical role in maintaining the health of ecosystems. An apex predator, it influences the population size and behavior of animals further down the food chain, promoting ecological balance. Wolves typically live, hunt, and travel in packs, consisting of a family group led by a mated pair. Their communication encompasses a rich variety of vocalizations, body language, and scent marking. With their numbers having once dwindled severely in many parts of the world due to habitat loss and hunting, conservation efforts in recent decades have aimed to stabilize and increase wolf populations, underscoring the importance of preserving such iconic wildlife species.
