2.  very social animals  hunt in groups  pack consists of male and female and offspring  subspecies of canis iupis

3.  Keen senses, large canine teeth, powerful jaws, and the ability to pursue prey at 60 km (37 miles) per hour equip the gray wolf well for a predatory way of life. A typical northern male may be about 2 metres (6.6 feet) long, including the bushy half-metre-long tail. Standing 76 cm (30 inches) tall at the shoulder, it weighs about 45 kg (100 pounds), but weight ranges from 14 to 65 kg (31 to 143 pounds), depending on the geographic area. Females average about 20 percent smaller than males. The largest wolves are found in west-central Canada, Alaska, and across northern Asia. The smallest tend to be near the southern end of their distribution (the Middle East, Arabia, and India). Fur on the upper body, though usually gray, may be brown, reddish, black, or whitish, while the underparts and legs are usually yellow-white. Light-coloured wolves are common in Arctic regions.  http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/242743/gray- wolf/306948/Physical-description

4.  The Gray Wolfs niche is the top predator in the wilderness  apex predator  secondary consumer  found throughout the entire northern hemisphere

5.  Much like indians; wolves tend to just adapt with each other  main time to do this; hunting  carnivore; eats other animals  use woods/snow covered grounds to blend in

6.  Feed on almost any animal smaller than them for energy  Ex: Birds, Fish, Smaller Wolves, Rabbits; etc.

7.  Mating season can be anywhere from January to April with the alpha female having only five to seven days of oestrus. During this time, the alpha pair may move out of the pack temporarily to prevent interruption from other pack members. Also the alpha pair is almost always the only pair to mate, to avoid over population.  http://www.wolfcountry.net/information/W olfReproduction.html

8.  Reproduction is key for survival so that they can have more wolves to a pack and can hunt to kill more prey at once  The more in a pack the easier it is to train the youngest to be more sly while hunting or even being hunted

9.  Snow Storms  Wild Fires  Falling Trees  Predators

10.  Other secondary consumers  Hunting for the same sort of prey

11.  Used to keep the food chain rotating  Keep secondary consumers
