Mexican Gray Wolves have a distinct white lip line, chin and throat. They weigh about 100 pounds. Females are about 6 feet long and weigh 50-75 pounds. They will eat a mouse or a moose and everything in-between. Their most common food though is deer, moose, elk, and occasionally rabbits, beavers, hares, and other small rodents.
Wolves have a dominance order that they follow.
Every member has a place and if they get out of line the alpha male or female growls at the subordinate, bares his or her fangs, and sometimes gives a harmless nip on the scruff of the neck. The ranking determines how the wolves are treated, who gets to eat first, and which pair mates. There are usually seven or eight wolves to a pack, but they can have more than 20 members. The leaders of the pack, or a wolf family, are called the alpha male and the alpha female. They tend to be the strongest and most experienced wolves in the pack.
