Detailed explanation-1: -Smaller and less powerful than mountain lions, for example, wolves work together to take down prey much larger than an individual wolf; prey that may otherwise elude them. While individual wolves have been able to subdue large prey animals, their advantage is in collaborating with their pack .
Detailed explanation-2: -The prevailing view has long been that wolf packs are socially structured under a strict dominance hierarchy, controlled by an “alpha” male and female pair, with other pack members aligned in a pecking order.
Detailed explanation-3: -Wolf legs are designed for running, which they use to chase and tire out larger prey. They have narrow chests and hips. Wolves have toes that move individually.
Detailed explanation-4: -A gray wolf doesn’t need much protection, as it is at the top of its food chain. It protects itself with its large, sharp teeth and claws. The gray wolf can also run as fast as 40 miles per hour. Gray wolves travel and hunt in packs, so there is protection in numbers.
Detailed explanation-5: -When hunting large game, the wolf pack separates out and surrounds its prey. Wolves usually bite the shoulders and flanks. While some pack members approach the prey from the rear, other wolves seize the prey by the nose.
