Wolves for Kids | Learn fun facts about this unique mammal
You’ve probably heard the story of Little Red Riding Hood, right? What we learn from that book is that wolves have large ears and eyes, big snouts, and sharp teeth. It’s true! Wolves are actually the apex predators of their environments. They are also the ancestors of our domesticated dogs. They can be as long as six feet from nose to tail and weigh between 50 and 100 pounds.
These carnivores travel in groups called packs. The pack members are often family members, but lone wolves will join a pack if they don’t have one of their own. Packs range from as small as 2 wolves to as many as 25. They eat mostly large or medium hoofed animals, but they occasionally consume birds, rodents, or even fish if they can’t find any bigger prey. And the alpha male and female eat before the rest of the pack.
Wolves have an excellent sense of smell. In fact, it is 100 times stronger than a human’s sense of smell. They can detect other animals up to a mile away! Just as humans use much of their brain capacity to process images, wolves use a considerable part of their brains to process smell.
While they are apex predators and are at the top of their food chain, they do have to deal with humans, their only predators. They are becoming more and more endangered due to pollution, industrial growth, and natural disasters. Luckily, they were reintroduced into Yellowstone National Park to breed after not living there due to poisoned water and hunting.
