Description: Basic information on the Gray Wolf.
: The gray wolf, the largest wild member of the family Canidae, is now extinct in Kansas. It was distinguished from other Kansas mammals by: 1) head and body configuration, resembling a large husky dog, 2) large size (larger than a coyote, which it superficially resembled), 3) broad snout, 4) relatively short ears, 5) long fur (65-150 mm) which varied in color for white through gray, brown, and black (light grizzled gray is the normal color), 6) belly, cheeks, legs, and throat white or buff and shading into gray along the sides and flanks, 7) black or brown hair becoming more common towards the rear and midline, producing a dark mid-dorsal stripe and flanks, 8) having a conspicuous black patch near the base of the tail, and 9) tail well-furred, lightly colored buff, and frequently tipped with black. Adult males tend to be larger than adult females.
