The Siberian wolf (also known as the Gray or Timber Wolf) is the largest of the canids lupus.

The Siberian wolf is the largest member of the Canidae family, and is further distinguished from coyotes and jackals by a broader snout, shorter ears, a shorter torso and a longer tail. It is slender and powerfully built with a large, deeply descending rib cage, a sloping back, and a heavily muscled neck.

The Siberian wolf legs are moderately longer than those of other canids, which enables the animal to move swiftly, and to overcome the deep snow that covers most of its geographical range in winter. The ears are relatively small and triangular.The wolf’s head is large and heavy, with a wide forehead, strong jaws and a long, blunt muzzle. The skull averages 9.1 to 11.0 in. in length and 5.1 to 5.9 in. in width. The teeth are heavy and large, making them better suited to crushing bone.

The Siberian wolf has very dense and fluffy winter fur, with a short undercoat and long, coarse guard hairs. Most of the undercoat and some guard hairs are shed in spring and grow back in autumn. The longest hairs occur on the back, particularly on the front quarters and neck. Especially long hairs grow on the shoulders and almost form a crest on the upper part of the neck. The hairs on the cheeks are elongated and form tufts.

The Siberian wolf  ears are covered in short hairs and project from the fur. The winter fur is highly resistant to the cold.

The Siberian wolf feeds predominantly on wild herbivorous hoofed mammals that can be divided into large size 530 to 1,430 lbs. The wolf specializes in preying on the vulnerable individuals of large prey.
