The big bad wolf - hardly any other animal has been linked to so many negative characteristics and has made humans shudder as much as the wolf.

These prejudices and their natural habitats being destroyed by logging have brought them to the edge of destruction.

In reality, wolves are very shy, loyal and family-bound. They live in big family groups, they hunt and eat together and have a distinct social behavior - no member of the pack stays hungry when the prey is shared. Wolves are members of the dog family and prefer hoofed animals as prey, such as deer, moose and wild goat.

They live in the diverse forests of North America and include the boreal forest belt that stretches between Newfoundland and Alaska, the coastal temperate rainforest of Alaska and Western Canada, and the myriad of residual pockets of temperate forest surviving in more remote regions.

The wolf also shares its home with indigenous people, grizzly bears, puma and hundreds of thousands of plants.
