Have you ever heard a wolf’s howl? That must be scary! Let’s discover five wonderful wolves facts for kids.
Did you know that wolves mate for life? Once a pair of wolves are together the only thing that will separate them is the death of one or the other, they are very loyal… maybe there really is true love!
Wolves are well known for their howl, but did you know that it has a lot more uses than just a little bit of singing at the moon? Wolves can communicate with their packs over long distances this way if they are on their own, howling can also communicate to other packs of wolves to keep their distance and mark their territory!
Another howling fact… humans all have a unique thumbprint that can be used to identify them, but did you know the same is true for a wolf’s howl? Each one is different and that’s why they know who they can hear from so far away!
Wolves can run nearly as fast as greyhounds, they can run 36-38 mph, but they usually walk around 5mph, but they can do this for hours when stalking their prey and can go long into the night!
They need that howl! A wolf’s territory can sometimes stretch up to 1,000 miles! Imagine your house being that big and being called for dinner!
