Timber wolves are also known as grey wolves. In the lower 48 states of the US, they were hunted to near extinction, though some populations survived and others have since been reintroduced.
Few grey wolves survive in Europe, but many live in Alaska, Canada, and Asia.
They are sociable animals who normally roam in packs of six to ten. When hunting large animals such as deer, moose and elk they will help each other.
Moreover when one of the pack has pups they will all help to take care of the cub by bringing them food and watching them while others hunt.
