Read the report
A student wrote this report. Paragraphs 2 to 4 each begin with a heading.
Gray Wolves
1Imagine standing in a quiet forest at dusk and hearing a long, low howl. Somewhere nearby, a gray wolf is calling to its family. Gray wolves are the largest wild members of the dog family. They are strong hunters, caring parents, and skilled at sending messages. In this report, you will read about where gray wolves live, how a wolf pack works, and how wolves communicate with one another.
2Where Gray Wolves Live
Gray wolves can live in many kinds of places. Some make their homes in thick forests, while others roam mountains, grasslands, or the icy lands of the far north. Today, gray wolves are found in parts of North America, Europe, and Asia. Each pack has its own territory, which is an area of land where the pack lives and hunts. A territory can be very large, so wolves often travel many miles in a single day.
3Life in a Pack
Most gray wolves live in groups called packs. A pack is usually a family made up of a mother, a father, and their young. The pack also hunts together. By working as a team, wolves can catch large animals such as deer, elk, and moose. In spring, the mother gives birth to pups in a den, which may be a hole dug into the ground or a space among rocks. The pups are born with their eyes closed, and they stay in or near the den for their first weeks of life. Older brothers and sisters help care for them.
4Talking Without Words
Wolves have many ways to send messages. A wolf's howl can carry for miles. Wolves howl to call their pack together and to warn other wolves to stay out of their territory. Up close, wolves use their bodies to "talk." A wolf that holds its tail high is showing that it feels confident. A wolf that crouches low and tucks its tail is showing that it does not want trouble. Wolves also leave their scent on trees and rocks to mark the edges of their territory.
