	Gray Wolf - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Wolves are susceptible to the same infections that affect domestic dogs, such as mange, heartworm, rabies and canine distemper, and such diseases can become epidemic, drastically reducing the wolf population in an area.
		Beta wolves are the most likely to challenge their superiors for the role of the alpha, though some betas seem content with being second, and will sometimes even let lower ranking wolves leapfrog them for the position of alpha should circumstances necessitate such a happening (death of the alpha, etc.).
		Wolves are bred for their fur in very few locations, as they are considered as a rather problematic animal to breed, and combined with the low value of the pelt, it has driven most of the fur farms to change to utilizing other animals, such as the fox.

	Wolf communication (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Wolves are very rarely seen in the wild since they are typically very shy towards people, but those who live where wolves are common may sometimes be able to hear them howl.
		Wolves typically live in family groups called "packs." In the wild, most packs consist of two parents and their offspring, although some packs may also contain a relative, such as a sibling, of one of the breeding wolves.
		Also, dominant wolves (regardless of sex) urinate with the raised leg position and subservient wolves squat down to urinate (this behaviour is discussed further in the section on territories).

	Wolves
		Most wolves belong to the same species known as "Canis (dog) lupus (wolf)." However, wolves are genetically almost identical to dogs and the wolf is also closely related to jackals, coyotes and dingos.
		Wolves are very social animals that live in groups or "packs" led by an "alpha" male and female who are usually the largest and strongest members of the wolf pack.
		The sound most people associate with wolves is the "wolf howl." No two wolves howl exactly the same and their vocalizations are primarily a means of communication to prepare for a hunt, celebrate a kill, express sorrow or to attract a mate.
