Preserve The Wolvy

Have you ever heard about gray wolf ?. There is some chance that they will harm you, since it was a wild animal and the gray wolf represents a more specialised and progressive form than its smaller cousins (coyote and golden jackal). They have small shape, but they morphology constructed to hunt a large prey. But, there is shocking fact about them. In fact, they are friendly animal (gregorious). Western peoples believe that the gray wolf is a social animal. gray wolf is typically an apex predator throughout its range, with only humans and tigers posing a serious threat to it. Primarly, They eat large prey, smaller animal, and garbage. 

 

I almost forget to introduce the wolvy that we spoken about (the 'Wolf' word seems too creepy for me, so can we call it wolvy? it's kinda cute name, haha). Their binomial name (the formal system of naming species in biology) is Canis lupus. They are from canidae family and carnivora order. Nowadays, the wolvy lives in a diverse range of environments, including tundra, mountain areas, woodlands, forests, grasslands and deserts. An estimated 7,000 wolves live in Alaska. About 5,000 gray wolves inhabit the lower 48 states, more in Idaho, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, Wisconsin and Wyoming. Outside of the United States, gray wolves inhabit Canada, Poland, Scandinavia, Russia, Portugal, Spain and Italy. Do you ever hear about Yellowstone National Park ? it 's located primarily in the U.S. state of Wyoming, although it also extends into Montana and Idaho. Yellowstone is the one of the most favored places to see and hear wolves in the native habitat.

They are so cute, aren't they ?

 

I will tell you about their habitat history. Based on BBC article that I have read, gray wolvy originated in Eurasia and made its way to North America more than 750,000 years ago. The gray wolvy's habitat grew to cover most of the Northern Hemisphere and eventually came to inhabit the largest range of any mammal in history save the lions. This naturally adaptive animal flourished in a range of climates -- from the severe cold weather of the arctic wastes of Greenland to the harsh heat of the deserts of Arabia (commonly called desert wolf). I have seen it  through some game and they have a different colour of hair from another gray wolvy. Although estimates vary widely, it 's believed that about 5,000 years ago approximately 2 million gray wolves inhabited the earth.

The main problem is many people have an irrational fear of wolvy, which has lead to centuries of persecution by hunting and trapping, leading to their near irradiation in many parts of the continent. This is one of the great tragedies of the natural world as they are a "keystone species", one natures most important apex predators, considered to be vital ecosystem managers.

Forest Food Chain

Why are wolvy so important for the environment? Well, firstly they strengthen the ungulate population such as wild boar and deer, by preying on the sick, old and genetically inferior animals, allowing the healthiest individuals to breed and perpetuate their species. As far I known, wolvy are the only predator in Europe that do this. They also feed other animals as the remains of any carcass left behind, help feed brown bears, eagles, foxes and other scavengers. Wolvy improve riparian areas by redistributing deer, allowing vegetation to recover along rivers and streams. More willows and aspens provide food for beavers. More beaver ponds benefit aquatic plants and animals. Shade from the trees cools the water, making the habitat better for trout. 

 

Wolves rarely venture into villages, but occasionally in the depths of winter when food is scarce in the forest, they enter villages at night and take stray dogs. Although such events are rare, this demonstrates just how strong their survival instincts are and willingness to take risks to gain vital food for their families.

I think it's enough for now, may be for the next article I will describe more about their morphology, anatomy, and their life habit. They must be dangerous creature but it doesn't mean that we have to kill them. The purity of a person's heart can be measured by how they regards animal.

Thank you for reading my article(s). See ya on the next article, fellas :)
