The Timber Wolf is a member of the well-known Gray Wolf family. It is a highly-intelligent animal with complex patterns of social behaviour. It lives in packs of up to ten members. Packs have a sophisticated social order; each member has a particular rank in the hierarchy. Wolves feed on elk, deer and domestic livestock. A howling wolf pack is one of the most awe-inspiring sounds in the North American wilderness.
