Mother Nature's army

A blog about all things wolves, from the beauty of their nature to the strength of their myths. I do NOT own any of these images and do not claim them as my own. Credit is due when the source is concrete.

Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor

 

A wolf’s paw is so large it is larger than a human’s palm.  If you’ve ever made a fist and pressed it into the snow to make a wolf’s (or dog’s) paw, even a large male’s hand will not be large enough.  However, the large paws serve another purpose; they’re large enough so that wolves can step in snow without sinking completely, which helps them hunt, run, and play without injury, even in the snowiest winters.
