Chapter 2:What It Eats
Wolves are carnivores (meat eaters) but they will eat other foods
as well. Their diet ranges from big game, such as elk and moose,
to earthworms, berries and grasshoppers. In the summer, they
eat mice, birds, and fish.

Wolves are fast eaters. They eat their food fast so that it will
not be stolen by predators. Wolves hide their food from
predators. They also hide their food so they can come back
later to eat it.

Chapter 3:Where It Lives
Wolves live in North America (mostly Canada),
Northern Europe, and Asia. Wolves can be found in
national parks or wilderness areas. They live
places that are cold. They can live in the
mountains. They often live in the forest. Wolves do
not live near people.

How Do Wolves Live Together?
Wolves live in groups called packs.
They hunt together, and they protect
their packs. By living together, they
protect their young and territory.
Wolves howl to communicate with
their packs.
