The Gray wolf or Timber wolf's story is one of the most compelling tales of American wildlife. Once, the wolf was widespread across most of North America, but it was hunted ruthlessly and extirpated over most of its range. Today, the wolf is making a successful comeback in some of its former habitat due to strong conservation efforts. The gray wolf plays a vital role in the health and proper functioning of ecosystems. The gray wolf can actually range in color from pure white to solid black, but the most common shade is a tawny brown in which the wolf's guard hairs are banded with black, white, gold, and brown. As the ancestor of the domestic dog, the gray wolf resembles German Shepherds or Malamutes. Though they once nearly disappeared from the lower 48 states, today wolves have returned to the Great Lakes, northern Rockies and Southwestern United States. 0216423
