WOLVES: Most Common Breeds

[guide title="Common Wolf Breeds"]

[tit]Introduction:[/tit]
[box]There are two widely recognized wolf species, grey and red, but there are still debate on exactly how many there are. Wolves are the largest member of the canine family, but only occupy 2/3 of their once natural habitat (only about 5/6% of the United States) due to hunting and poaching. Wolves can live in many different geological areas and climates and this in return shows in their appearance and how they act. [/box]
