T<\/span>he gray wolf, also known as the timber wolf, is the largest member of the canid family in North America (66 to 97 cm at the shoulder).<\/p>\n

As its name suggests, its fur is ash-grey but can vary from white to black. In North America, black wolves have inherited the allele responsible for melanism from past crossbreeding with dogs at least 15,000 years ago. <\/span>In short, the black wolf is a gray wolf with a black coat.<\/span><\/p>\n

The grey wolf is a sociable animal that lives in a highly hierarchical pack. Only the dominant male and female, who make a faithful couple, can reproduce. The other individuals are dominated and must wait for the dominant couple’s “permission” to feed.<\/p>\n

Wolves hunt in packs, following a strategy. They spot their prey (often a weak, young, old or sick animal), surround it and then attack.<\/p>\n

The female gives birth to four to ten cubs, sometimes more, in a den (one meter in diameter) connected to the outside through a tunnel from two to nine meters.<\/p>\n

Overhunting and habitat destruction have reduced its numbers in Canada. Nevertheless, wolves are present throughout Quebec, except in the far south.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":15167,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"100-width.php","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-15270","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.parcomega.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/15270","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.parcomega.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.parcomega.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.parcomega.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.parcomega.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=15270"}],"version-history":[{"count":13,"href":"https:\/\/www.parcomega.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/15270\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":26766,"href":"https:\/\/www.parcomega.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/15270\/revisions\/26766"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.parcomega.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/15167"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.parcomega.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=15270"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
