bird women

(Helena Bonham Carter, Helen Hunt)

The eyes of the Pisces Woman are most often large and always light, slightly watery. Eyebrows and eyelashes to light eyes, as it should be, are attached to the same light ones. The nose is often blurry, but it is not the main thing.

Women are foxes

A very large group. It, for example, includes those who did not reach the she-wolves, who have the same external data, but at the same time not a strong enough look. Almost always beautiful or at least cute. The nose of the Chanterelle Woman is slightly upturned, maybe a bit long, a real fox nose. If the kit comes with big eyes with a veil, Chanterelle is just a beauty! Chanterelle's mouth can be anything, but almost always a sly smile.
More foxes: Julia Roberts, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Ingeborga Dapkunaite.

cat women

(Angelina Jolie, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Scarlett Johansson)

Women are horses

(Alanis Morisset, Sarah Jessica Parker)

dog women

(Kirsten Dunst, Paz Vega)
To recognize a Dog in a Woman, you need to look into her eyes and pay attention to her nose. Her eyes are usually with lowered outer corners and are most often brown, kind and understanding. The nose is either small or slightly wide. Dog Women are more often just cute than beautiful.

It is very difficult to immediately identify a wolf woman among other women. This is a certain stereotype not only of behavior, but also of perception of reality. This is indeed a rather rare occurrence, but such women are found, and there is no escape from this. The nature of such women is due, most often, upbringing. Moreover, this upbringing depends on her environment - usually these are the daughters of the military, and of considerable rank, position or ambition.

Probably, everyone has heard the song "Lonely Wolf", by the White Eagle group, and this song very clearly reveals the facets of the morality of a female wolf. She is an individualist to the core. She has only two criteria for a "male" - either hers or an extra one. This is a man who simply "suits" her, and it doesn't matter by what criteria.

He can be an absolutely “gray mouse”, or an ordinary “nerd”, or a cool MAN - the main thing is that he suits her exactly! Moreover, most often she is monogamous and does not exchange even for simple attention to other, not “her” men.

The main difficulty in communicating with a female wolf (or she-wolf) is that she measures everything only according to her own standards and criteria, any “jamb” or deviation is regarded by her as an attack on her dignity - and all this is stopped immediately and in the bud!

It is impossible to negotiate or sort things out with her - she simply stops everything even at the stage of a question or a usual explanation. She "stupidly" turns around and leaves, and leaves all the problems "overboard" - they no longer concern her.

Even if the relationship is long-standing and established, the female wolf (wolf) does not understand compromises, and does not accept them. She will never forgive lies, betrayal, even the usual "ignore", for any reason - she just doesn't care about all this.

It is important for her only the manifestation of the very fidelity that she herself can give. And - she will sweep away everything in her path if something threatens her loved ones.

These are the most "crazy" mothers, and the most faithful wives, but only until such time as their foundations "sway". It is female wolves (she-wolves) who are able to completely erase from their memory and life an ex-husband or a dysfunctional child.

Only they are able to "cross out" all the years of their life together, if for some reason they feel betrayed. This is not even a character trait - it is an image of reality perception at the level of only one's own moral criteria. Moreover, each wolf woman has her own criteria.

One basic law does not exist for them, they are most often "outside the law" of society, their whole life is subject only to their own laws.

Most often, female wolves (wolves) are attractive in appearance, charming in communication, they are very well-groomed - cleanliness is the most important thing for them. But they do not like to improve their home - everything is just a temporary shelter for them.

They do not have their own “status” as a member of society - they are just someone's wife, or the mother of a neighbor's child, who does not take part in the work of the same kindergarten or does not go to meetings at school.

Everyone knows her as a pleasant woman from a neighboring apartment (or a neighboring house), who never interferes in anything, but if necessary, she will always provide any help.

Then she simply disappears - the husband (cohabitant) says that she went to her mother, they simply forget about her. And then she appears somewhere else, and again she is a wife, maybe even an adoptive mother of some child .... everything repeats again. She is simply "looking for her wolf among men"!

Most often, these women are not just beautiful, they fascinate with their attractiveness, their charm, their unusualness - and this is the main danger. To love such a woman is to destroy your life to the ground. And moreover, destroy it on your own, under the influence of your own emotions.

Her detachment from ordinary life, from simple feelings, makes men "go out of their way" to prove something to such a woman in order to become at least a little significant for her. But they, these men, think in terms of the usual criteria and norms, but she is always “outside the norms and criteria”, therefore it is almost impossible to become significant for her at will.

A man will never be able to understand what she needs from him! And she will never say it directly, because often she herself does not understand this.

And not only for others (namely men) it is difficult with such a woman, she is in constant conflict with herself. , with this, she is just fine. She constantly suffers from moral loneliness, from her “not being understood” by men, although how can they understand her when she often does not understand herself.

Such women are constantly accompanied by mental pain, the search for their desires and the impossibility of fulfilling these very desires. In their personal lives, there are only two criteria for their relationship - they are either immensely happy with "their man", or absolutely unhappy, because they did not find him! The wolf woman is definitely the opposite, the only thing they are similar in is that they are predators.

Women write about psychology and biology in glamorous magazines, but you can read about the zoology of the weaker sex in men's publications and on thematic forums. The portal offers its own interpretation of animal types, based on read fairy tales and encyclopedias, associations, resemblance and coincidence of characters. In order to avoid accusations of male chauvinism, the process of classification was entrusted to a woman.

From ciliates to jellyfish

Extraordinary personalities in the crowd are rare. Increasingly, we find ourselves surrounded by plankton: we drift freely through life, hang in the depths of the Internet and are one of the components of the food chain. And yet plankton is a collection of heterogeneous organisms. In this environment one can find ciliate woman, whose thoughts are exclusively on shoes. Simple as five kopecks, she practically wants nothing and does not expect anything from life. Well, except to meet the same unicellular, so that you can turn into a ciliate slipper.

Amoebas that have lost their harmony and liveliness of character should also be attributed to the category of protozoa. , disappearing in the eternal queue either in the supermarket for food, or in the executive committee for the improvement of living conditions. amoeba woman calmly goes with the flow, easily adapts to the surrounding reality and actively reproduces.

If the representative of plankton in the ocean of life failed to meet her soul mate, she can easily turn into a jellyfish . It just seems like jellyfish women spineless and characterless. In fact, they have not only a character, but also a life credo: "Don't touch me!". However, and touchy get married. In addition, not a single man in the world is immune from the fact that, lying down in the evening with a charming beauty, in the morning he can find a real gorgon in his bed. An irritated jellyfish stings without a hitch, can petrify with a single glance, or cause paralysis with a single word.

From mouse to rabbit

Mouse woman can be found on the street, at work and even in the museum in the Greek hall. And pass without noticing. She is sweet, friendly and humble. Therefore, it is easy to fall into mousetraps with free cheese.

The mouse is not untalented. Some women in this category are imaginative and can fly. What often scares men. Therefore, it is not surprising that husbands call some bats vampires and reproach them for sucking out their vital juices. Although in fact, the strong half of humanity needs completely different women to be afraid.

Any mouse from the point of view of psychology can easily turn into rat. Fortunately, there are enough courses and textbooks on stervology today. Unlike a gray mouse driven into a corner, a rat can not only rush at the offender, but even deliver a preemptive strike.

On the squirrel woman holds the whole office. All day long she turns the impeller, then runs home to feed her family and create a reserve for the winter.

bunny woman serves as an office decoration. She does not forget to change her coat in time for the season. Often cowardly, but always shows ingenuity in order to achieve the desired result. Willingly fulfills the petty whims of her husband or boss. After all, this is what she was created for - white and fluffy. Men often live with bunnies, but dream of completely different women.

From cat to lioness

Hollywood screenwriters love to exploit this female type. Catwoman walks by itself, purrs when in the mood, and scratches for no reason. In fact, cats are also different. Kisonki are not far from bunnies. Such people easily become mistresses and even more willingly the fifth wives of aging oligarchs. The main thing in the content is not to forget to buy fashionable gadgets and other things on time. Forgetful owners, pussy takes revenge - usually crap in shoes.

Advanced pussies go social lionesses. Some are born with them, but still remain the property of the one who feeds them, provides shelter and protection.

Catwoman is bold and determined. But she's a terrible slacker. By agreeing to live in your house, he becomes a full-fledged mistress in it. Now she decides which curtain should hang on the window and which whiskey you will have for dinner. But you will have to nail the cornice and serve it on the table. Do not forget to regularly scratch the cat behind the ear and in any case do not iron against the coat.

A dissatisfied family life of a cat often blows the roof. She goes on a spree, and instead of warmth and comfort, kittens appear in the house, suspiciously similar to the neighbor's cats.

From dog to wolf

Men have their ideal dog women. They are faithful, faithfully look into the eyes, follow all the commands, bring beer along with slippers, lick the wounds of their souls and guard the owner's sacred dinner dream. Only in the wild such women are rare.

A dog woman can be a friend, or she can put her husband on a short leash. The watchdog Cerberus forbids his man to drink beer, watch football, meet friends and generally move far from the kennel. She can bark for any trifle.

fox woman- the main initiator of office intrigues. Her cunning will help to get out of any crisis situation more than once. Beautiful, smart and self-sufficient, she can invite the man she likes to dinner, pay the bill and use it for its intended purpose.

wolf woman- a loner. But if she finds her mate, she is ready to gnaw through the throat of anyone who looks in the direction of the male. Able to control a pack.

From sheep to cow

Representatives of the ungulate superorder should also be divided into species: they are paired and unpaired, domestic and wild. There are calluses and ruminants among them.

The most harmless female type from this series - sheep. Light curls, the presence of a golden fleece and an almost complete lack of intelligence ensure them constant success in a male company.

Nobody wants to live with an old horse, but rarely does anyone get upset when a worker appears in the team. horse. Not only all problems can be put on it, but also the burden of responsibility. And such a woman plows without raising her head, even sleeping on the go.

No less willingly is the woman-horse harnessed to the family wagon and pulls this burden uphill without unnecessary bucks. She is pushed around by all and sundry, periodically tightening the bit. And yet there are pacers in this class. Mustang women are moving up the career ladder well, because, in addition to the ability to work hard, they also have a presentation and a strong character. They can kick the offender and easily gallop away from problems.

Another female type - Milch cow. This is preferred to marry sissies to ride like cheese in butter. Women of this type rarely become high-ranking bosses, as they prefer chewing gum for everyone, they are ready to live in a barn and work in an open field. They love serials.

From canary to magpie

Women and birds have a lot in common. For example, the constant need to clean feathers and twitter incessantly.

canary women willingly live in a cage and please the owner with sweet-voiced trills. These are preferred by men who are insecure and in need of a constant portion of praise.

mother hen keeps under the wing until retirement not only numerous offspring, but also her own husband.

Hummingbird woman bright and exotic, but not found in our forests. Flies in on the road from the south to visit his parents and buys a plane ticket again.

magpie woman cannot live without bright trinkets and will die of envy if a colleague wears a larger brooch.

cuckoo woman he counts the years he lived alone and is angry at the children who have grown up and for some reason do not come to visit their mother, preferring to spend the weekend with their grandmother in the country.

woodpecker woman capable of driving crazy even a tax inspector.

From butterfly to ladybug

From a chrysalis they turn into butterfly. Light, fluttering through life, such women are pleasing to the eye, but do not bring any benefit.

Unlike bees. These workaholic women are equally indispensable in the office and at home. They are forced to court their drones and take care of the queen, following the established rules day by day.

There are women who are importunate flies. They willingly get jobs as sales representatives and can sit for hours in the client's office, distracting everyone from work until someone rolls up the newspaper and kicks them out.

Distinguish ladybug from others is easy: every marriage leaves a mark on her soul and on her wings. Before the next trip to the altar, she throws her children to her parents on the sky, and she periodically has to be reminded of maternal duties.

From tick to spider

The scariest types. That's what men really need to be afraid of. Tick ​​woman falls on your head, sticks and climbs under the skin so that it has to be removed surgically. Although you can wait until she gets drunk on blood and goes in search of the next victim.

At spider women other habits. She waits in ambush for a long time and weaves her web. If you can still get rid of a female tick, then with a spider everything is much more complicated: those caught in the net have no chance to escape. Especially if a man has a social status and property that can be inherited.

Let's make a reservation right away: in nature, a woman is rarely found who can be 100% attributed to one or another type. Any horse can buck, and an ugly duckling can turn into a beautiful swan. The most important thing, despite all animal instincts, is to always remain human.

They are fierce and dangerous. This is probably what someone who knows almost nothing about wolves will say about wolves. In fact, wolves rarely attack people. Like all predators, they hunt for food and live their lives trying to stay away from humans.

Ancestors of dogs

Wolves have lived on Earth for over a million years. They descended from carnivorous predators that lived 100 million years ago, and about 20 million years ago dogs originated from the wolf.

Wolf

The genus wolves (Lupus) unites wolves, coyotes, jackals, wild and domestic dogs - the largest representatives of the wolf family. In addition, all foxes, arctic foxes, the raccoon dog and the maned wolf belong to this family. Like dogs, wolves are very intelligent and easy to train. In addition, each wolf has a special character: there are cautious, impudent or self-confident, they keep themselves freely and naturally in wolf society, and others are not seen or heard.

Wolves live in the mountains, forests and plains of the Northern Hemisphere. Like all living creatures, they, as biologists say, occupy their ecological niche in the wild. In their habitats, wolves are the largest group of predators that prey on large mammals.

Is the wolf big?

"Big" is not a very good term for a wolf. Usually a male wolf weighs about 50 kilograms, a she-wolf weighs 5 kilograms less. Their height at the withers is about 75 centimeters, and the length from the nose to the tip of the tail reaches 1.5 - 2 meters.

Life in the pack

Wolves are social animals: they live in families. Every flock has its own "table of ranks", and in it everyone has their own place. Strong and aggressive wolves rule, and those who need a firm hand obey them. A wolf pack - a group of animals related by kinship and mutual sympathy - is led by a wolf and a she-wolf. The rest of its members are their offspring (from tiny puppies to 2-3 year old teenagers). Usually in a wolf family there are 6 - 7, and sometimes 15 animals. The strongest wolf in the pack becomes the leader. A girlfriend, a she-wolf, helps him to rule. For others to obey, leaders must have strong character. All decisions concerning the life of the pack are made by this couple. In a pack where the leader keeps order, wolves usually do not fight among themselves. However, skirmishes are common with strangers or lone wolves that have violated the border of possessions. Each wolf pack hunts only in its own territory. The owners strictly guard and mark it, warning the neighbors that they should stay away. Any uninvited guest will be punished. In large packs, it often happens that a wolf is poisoned by all his relatives. Sometimes the outcast becomes completely unbearable, and he is forced to leave the pack.

Why is an unsociable person called a lone wolf? Because he resembles a wolf that has left the pack and lives on its own. As time passes, changes occur in the flock. Applicants for the role of leader remain in the pack and wait in the wings. Other wolves, having matured, leave to wander alone. But they can also create their own flock if they are lucky enough to meet a lone she-wolf. If the wolf and she-wolf want to rule the pack, they must subjugate all the rest of its members to their will and force them to unquestioningly comply with their laws. The leader dominates the males of the pack, and his girlfriend maintains order among the wolves. The leaders constantly remind their "subordinates" who is the boss in the pack: they growl at them, bite, drive and even knock them down, preferring to do this in front of the whole pack. One stern, intent look from the leader or his mate is enough to subdue those he targets. Smiling ingratiatingly, the wolves fall to the ground, and then, if possible, sneak away. Sometimes they lie on their backs, as if to say: we know who is in charge here. The way a wolf holds its tail speaks of its position in the pack. Among the leaders, it is raised high, among their "subjects" it is lowered, and those who stand at the lowest degree in the wolf family tuck their tail. Members of the pack show love and respect to the leader in a welcoming ceremony. Crawling, with flattened ears and smoothed hair, they approach the leader or his girlfriend, lick and gently bite his muzzle.

Wolves are one of the most loyal animals, they are strongly attached to their pack mates. They express their feelings through facial expressions and body movements. "Wolf tongue" unites the pack and helps it to act as one. In a surge of tenderness, the wolves lick each other and rub their muzzles. The wolf also needs a tail in order to express its feelings. If the tail is up and its tip is slightly curved, this means that the wolf is quite confident in himself. In a friendly wolf, the tail is lowered, but the very tip of it looks up. A wolf with its tail between its legs is either afraid of something or communicates its sympathy in this way. The muzzles of wolves are very expressive. Frightened, the wolf presses his ears and depicts a semblance of a smile. An angry wolf bares his teeth, and turns his upright ears forward. Sensing danger, he turns his ears back, bares his teeth and sticks out his tongue. Comrades understand how to behave in order to keep the peace in the pack.

natural born hunters

Wolves are designed to hunt by nature itself. In winter, the wolf leaves a neat chain of footprints in the snow - he puts his hind paw exactly behind the front. Thanks to this step, he can run on any terrain and even in deep snow. The weapon of the wolf is the teeth. There are as many as 42 of them in his mouth. 4 sharp, crooked 5-centimeter fangs stick out in front - two at the top and bottom. With them, the wolf can bite through the dense skin of the victim. And predatory, or carnivorous, teeth - this is the name of the molars of all predators - an adult wolf gnaws even the femur of an elk. The hunter needs a keen ear, and in this respect the wolves are lucky. When they hear a noise, they move their ears and determine where the sound is coming from. The sound source may be several kilometers away. Wolves hunt almost silently, because they run on the very tips of their fingers. Just like horses and cats, the wolf does not touch the ground with its heel. He has strong muscular legs and a sweeping gait, and he can trot for a long time at a speed of 9 km / h, and in pursuit of deer and elk, accelerate to 60 km / h. When hunting, the nose, not the ears or eyes, is the first to tell the wolves where to look for prey. In the wind, they catch the smell of even the smallest animal, located 1-2 kilometers from them, when it is not yet heard or seen. Thanks to their keen sense of smell, wolves can follow the tracks of their prey. Thick fur up to 8 centimeters long protects the wolf from frost. The layer of fur closest to the body is the undercoat, and the outer layer is formed by hard, long, black outer hairs at the ends. They repel water, and the undercoat does not get wet. In such a raincoat with fur lining, the wolf is not afraid of bad weather.

Pack on the hunt

Wolves are carnivorous (or predatory) animals. They hunt in groups. For a hungry wolf to get enough, sometimes a small animal is enough - a beaver, a rabbit, a mouse or a bird. But this is not enough for the whole flock, it needs large prey - a deer, an elk or a ram. It is not for nothing that they are called orderlies - after all, as a rule, old, sick or inexperienced animals become their victims. With a sick animal, the focus of the disease disappears; if the old beast is killed, the young and strong get more food. This biological regulation of numbers contributes to the survival of strong, healthy animals, both among hunters and among their possible victims. Although wolves are considered merciless, only every tenth of their hunt ends in luck. It happens that, after spending three days tracking down and chasing a herd of deer or elk, wolves manage to kill only a few animals. Why? Swift-footed deer can run away, and moose can give a worthy rebuff: these 600-kilogram giants with sharp horns and heavy hooves do not have to break a wolf's skull. Wolves can go without food for two weeks, but if they are lucky on the hunt, they will fill up to satiety. At one time, an adult wolf can eat up to 10 kilograms of meat! Sometimes wolves hide part of the half-eaten prey in reserve - they drag it into a hole and throw something from above. In the event of an unsuccessful hunt, they will return to this cache and dig up the hidden lunch. The survival of the pack depends on the size of its hunting grounds, so the wolves protect them not for life, but for death. The boundaries of the territory (it can be 50-1500 sq. Km, depending on what animals the pack hunts) are marked by odorous marks - they spray stumps and large stones with urine - and notify neighbors of their rights by howling.

Wolf games and fun

Wolves do not always hunt, growl and are ferocious. The first thing a wolf will do when its stomach is full is curl up and take a good nap. Waking up, frolic with pleasure. If he wants to play, he will invite relatives to join him. Crouching low on his front paws to the ground, he will approach them and, wagging his tail, will say: “Please!” No answer? Then, in order to attract attention, he will begin to jump from side to side, just like a dog.

Wolves and people

Who is not afraid of the bad wolf? Since childhood, when we were read fairy tales "Three Little Pigs", "Little Red Riding Hood" and "The Wolf and the Seven Kids", we have hardened that wolves are evil and scary. In fact, they do not harm people. But despite this, people kill them.

Wolf, wolves, about wolves, the truth about wolves

Wolves are animals that are known to all predators. About wolves there are many tales and sayings that describe him either as a ferocious beast, or as a domesticated animal. In fact, the wolf cannot be attributed to either one or the other.

The wolf is an animal, which is a mammal from the canine order. According to research, it is he who is the ancestor of the home. They grow about 160 centimeters in length and weigh 60 kilograms.

Today, this animal has more than 35 subspecies of its kind. "Relatives" live in different parts of the world. All of them are of different sizes and colors, but one thing unites them - they are predators!

In appearance, the wolf resembles a large pointed-eared dog. Paws - high and thin, they can hardly be called massive. The withers are set high, the muzzle is large, which distinguishes this genus from dogs.

Wolves have a good ability to adapt. They can travel long distances and still feel at home. These predators have an excellent sense of smell and acute hearing. They can smell their prey for 2-3 kilometers.

Below pictured wolf, has thick and beautiful fur. It consists of two layers: an inner down and outer long hairs. They are tough and repel water well. This representative of the animal world has a large and thick tail, which is always down.

The teeth of the wolf are sharp as a blade, it is with them that he tears apart his prey. Plus, teeth are a wolf's defense against other predators. Speaking of wolves, it is necessary to mention their special voice. Unlike all animals, they can make different sounds:

• Grunt;
• Whistling;
• Squeal;
• whimper.

Hear the growl of the wolf

Habitat and lifestyle of the wolf

Wild wolves- formidable predators, whose habitat stretches over almost the entire Northern Hemisphere. Representatives of this species could be found in Belarus, Alaska and so on.

Wolves can live in completely different areas, but prefer forest-steppes, tundra, steppes, semi-deserts. They also love forest areas. The wolf will not like the increased humidity. They can easily settle close to people and approach them at close distances.

Wolves live in packs, in which there is always a leader. He chooses the best female for himself. In summer and spring, the flock breaks up, but all animals remain on their territory. The best place goes to the leader and his companion. The remaining members of the pack either pair up or begin to lead a wandering lifestyle. Wolves mark territory like dogs.

Usually one flock takes an average of 50 kilometers. At night, but not every day, the wolves start choral singing. The leader begins to howl, after which the rest join him. Thus, wolves show cohesion and belonging to the pack.

The life of wolves, like animals, can be attributed to the nocturnal. Very often, these predators make themselves felt, starting to howl loudly. When hunting, a wolf can reach speeds of up to 60 km / h and run about 70 kilometers.

Before they start hunting, wolves often begin to howl. Sometimes they thus warn their brethren about the upcoming hunt. The leader of the pack gives a battle cry - this is the beginning of their action.

Wolf character

Wolves, as a rule, do not have a hot temper. Friendly, of course, it is difficult to call them. The wolf pack always defends itself together, in fact, as it hunts.

Males always protect females and young. If a female or wolf cub is attacked by a predator many times larger, not a single wolf will stand aside. He will rush to protect them, no matter what the cost. Takova the life of an animal - a wolf.

In relation to other predators, wolves are indifferent. Of course, they don't like animals that try to prey on their territory. But they don't just jump into a fight.

There are legends about wolves as about bloodthirsty animals, but in reality everything is not at all like that! Animal world of wolves arranged so that they are diligent family men who hunt to feed themselves.

Nutrition and reproduction

What animal is the wolf? The wolf is a clear representative of carnivores. He resorts to vegetable food in extreme cases, when there is no food at all. An adult absorbs from 2 to 6 kilograms of meat at a time. These predators have a habit of saving food for later.

Even despite the fact that the wolf is very voracious, he is able to starve for a long time. The main diet of wolves includes sheep,,.

In fact, these predators eat all the animals that they can get. The difference in feeding wolves directly depends on their habitat. Wolves are monogamous creatures, so their marriages usually last for many years. From two to three years, the animal is ready for breeding.

The mating season falls on January-April, depending on the habitat. At this time, the situation in the flock is heating up. The dominant male and female protect each other from the rest of the members.

The rest of the males begin to actively care for the she-wolves and fight for them. Usually, a female produces only one offspring per year. Pregnancy lasts about 65 days. There are from 3 to 13 puppies in a litter. During the feeding period, the female does not move far from her hole and guards it in every possible way. Dad - the wolf does not participate in this period in the life of the cubs.

After milk feeding, the whole flock makes sure that the cubs are fed. Any wolf shares his piece with the kids. Depending on the habitat, puppies may stay in the pack or leave to look for new territory.

Varieties of wolves

There are more than 35 subspecies, but only a few of them are worth noting, they are interesting for their lifestyle and behavior. These include:

• White wolf - animal well-known, which differs from its counterparts in beauty. Usually hides from enemies. It has a docile and peaceful nature. He does not like to meet people and often sits in his hole. Being a hermit, he prefers to live in the tundra and the Arctic.
• The black wolf is an animal which looks like a sharp-eared dog. Because of its appearance, people often confuse it with pets. This subspecies lives in Alaska and North America.
• Red wolf - animal, which outwardly may resemble a kutsuyu. Compared to its counterparts, it is small in size. Its weight is only about 21 kilograms. A feature of these predators is their habitat - mountains.
• Steppe wolf - animal small size, which, judging by the name of the species, lives in the steppes. Favorite places of residence are the lines of cliffs of river banks. They feed on hares, partridges. They live most often in fox holes.

Keeping a wolf at home

It is almost impossible to make a pet out of a wolf. You need to be aware that the wolf is a predator that can consider human flesh as food. Taming can take a long time, but if it succeeds, then the wolf will become the best friend and protector. He will always be a danger to you, family, guests.

If you have made the decision to get a wolf, then the first thing to do is to surround the wolf cub with love and care. You can't yell at him and, of course, hit him. The wolf is an animal of the forest Therefore, it is necessary for him to provide personal space. Actually, it's hard to imagine wolf as a pet.

It is advised to feed the wolf with fresh meat and fish. Give the animal a lot of time and attention, the animal must feel your love. The wolf needs to be played with like a dog, trained.

Pictured is a red wolf

We must not forget that it is a predator and it is dangerous to humans. In the wild, people often hunt these animals for their skins, although wolf hunting banned in many countries. Although most of these predators absolutely do not pose a danger to humans.
