• Wolves have sharp teeth and powerful jaws that help them hunt for food. They mainly eat deer, elk, and moose. What do you think wolves like to eat?
• Wolves are very social animals and they communicate with each other through body language, facial expressions, and vocalizations. They have a close-knit family in their pack. Do you have a favorite member of your family?
