*** About Gray Wolves: Gray wolves, known scientifically as Canis lupus, are not only a symbol of wilderness but also play a critical role in their ecosystem by regulating prey populations and thus maintaining ecological balance. Occupying varied habitats from the remote Arctic tundra to dense forests and arid deserts, these animals are highly adaptive and social creatures forming packs led by alpha males and females. The complex social structure, hunting strategies, and vocalizations such as howls make the gray wolf a fascinating subject for both art and science.
