    Now that's a cool avatar U.S. Conservative.

    Another thing snowflake lefties have to look under their beds at night for, a WOLF in sheep's clothing.

    Wolf's are cool.
    They always go after the left leg.

    I saw wolves at our zoo down here in Phoenix, honestly I wasn't that impressed.

    Pretty much just dogs with cool eyes.

    And they are skinny.

    Did the wolves have AC ?

    Phoenix isn't really wolf country and I would suppose wolfs are light eaters during the summer heat.

    No, they looked well fed and were fairly big.

    They are more lanky than your typical dog however.

    Funny how that is.

    The best part of the zoo are the Golden Eagles....they are fricking huge!

    Here are some pics of them if you are interested.

    Yeah and its interesting because I don't know how they care for them with the heat down here.

    I don't believe they are hot weather dogs although I could be wrong.

    Although I believe the sign said they were Mexican wolves and a Mane wolf, I don't know what the difference is.

    I only have a degree in biology.

    lol

    BASIC FACTS ABOUT MEXICAN GRAY WOLVES
    The Mexican gray wolf is a subspecies of the gray wolf. Commonly referred to as "El lobo," this wolf is gray with light brown fur on its back. Its long legs and sleek body enable it to run fast. Though they once numbered in the thousands, these wolves were wiped out in the U.S. by the mid-1970s, with just a handful existing in zoos. In 1998, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, led by Jamie Rappaport Clark (now president of Defenders of Wildlife), released 11 Mexican gray wolves back into the wild in Arizona. Although their numbers have grown slowly, and they remain the most endangered subspecies of wolf in the world.

    The lobo was once “top dog” in the borderlands, and when the wolf population returns to healthy numbers, biologists believe that lobos will restore balance to the Southwest’s ecosystems by keeping deer, elk and javelina—a type of peccary —populations healthy and in check. Wolves strengthen these animals by preying on the old, sick and young, and prevent their populations from growing so numerous that they overgraze and destroy habitat that countless other species depend on.

    DIET
    Mexican wolves mostly eat ungulates (large hoofed mammals) like elk, white-tailed deer, and mule deer. They are also known to eat smaller mammals like javelinas, rabbits, ground squirrels and mice.

    RANGE & HABITAT
    Mexican gray wolves prefer mountain forests, grasslands and scrublands. They once ranged widely from central Mexico throughout the southwestern U.S. Today, the Mexican wolf has been reintroduced to the Apache National Forest in southeastern Arizona, and may move into the adjacent Gila National Forest in western New Mexico as the population expands. Recently, Mexican wolves have also begun to be reintroduced in Mexico.

    BEHAVIOR
    Mexican gray wolves are very social animals. They live in packs, which are complex social structures that include the breeding adult pair (the alpha male and female) and their offspring. A hierarchy of dominant and subordinate animals within the pack help it to work as a unit.

    REPRODUCTION
    Pups are born blind and defenseless. The pack cares for the pups until they mature at about 10 months of age.

    Mating Season: Mid February - mid March
    Gestation: 63 days
    Litter size: 4 - 7 pups
