Gray wolf

The gray wolf or grey wolf (Canis lupus), also known as the timber wolf or western wolf, is a canid native to the wilderness and remote areas of North America and Eurasia. It is the largest extant member of its family, with males averaging 43–45 kg (95–99 lb), and females 36–38.5 kg (79–85 lb). Like the red wolf, it is distinguished from other Canis species by its larger size and less pointed features, particularly on the ears and muzzle. Its winter fur is long and bushy, and predominantly a mottled gray in color, although nearly pure white, red, or brown to black also occur.As of 2005, 37 subspecies of C. lupus are recognised by MSW3.

The gray wolf is the second most specialised member of the genus Canis, after the Ethiopian wolf, as demonstrated by its morphological adaptations to hunting large prey, its more gregarious nature, and its highly advanced expressive behavior. It is nonetheless closely related enough to smaller Canis species, such as the eastern wolf,coyote and golden jackal to produce fertile hybrids. Its closest relative is the domestic dog, with which it shared a common European ancestor which likely diverged 40,000 years ago. It is the only species of Canis to have a range encompassing both the Old and New Worlds, and originated in Eurasia during the Pleistocene, colonizing North America on at least three separate occasions during the Rancholabrean. It is a social animal, travelling in nuclear families consisting of a mated pair, accompanied by the pair's adult offspring. The gray wolf is typically an apex predator throughout its range, with only humans and tigers posing a serious threat to it. It feeds primarily on large ungulates, though it also eats smaller animals, livestock, carrion, and garbage.

    Wolves is a 2014 Canadian action horror film directed by David Hayter.

    Plot

    The film is narrated by Cayden (Lucas Till), an average teenaged boy approaching the end of high school. During a football game, a rival player headbutts Cayden, causing the latter to become enraged and attack the player with superhuman strength. Cayden later hurts his girlfriend when the passion of making out causes him to unwillingly transform into a werewolf. Cayden wakes up covered in blood, surrounded by the dismembered bodies of his parents and flees.

    Cayden becomes a drifter, trying to keep his lycanthropy under control. In a roadside bar, Cayden draws the attention of Wild Joe (John Pyper-Ferguson), who reveals himself to be a werewolf. Wild Joe explains that werewolves come in two types, pure-breds and the bitten. The bitten are more savage and do not give birth to werewolf children. Pure-breds are natural-born werewolves from a small number of werewolf families that came to North America with the early settlers. Cayden has only recently discovered that he was adopted, and Wild Joe confirms that they are both natural werewolves and that Cayden can find out more in a remote town called Lupine Ridge.

    Wolves

    by: Krumbsnatcha

    Uh-huh
    We wolves baby, we wolves
    [Krumbsnatcha]
    A full moon make my blood curl
    Got me stuck in opposition in the underworld
    Savage beasts, like wolves when we roamin these streets
    And work for least, fuck peace, go to war with police
    Some call the priest, there's a demon in ya hood schemin
    Catch me out the six leanin, with the nine steamin
    Ain't that 'cha BM
    The sound of the glock sound like rocks in Watts
    I point a Ruben at'cha crew and give you somethin to watch
    D.T.'s, Feds, and NARCS, exchanging shots
    In broad day 'til the first one lay when he pop
    And if I pull and you pull,
    the one to get to get it worst be the last to burst
    ICU status, wih the phattest nurse
    Gat holders chuckin them burners, with the fat pollers concealed
    But quickly leave a veal through your widow's sheild
    Reckless, connected like a Nexus, for your necklace is on
    Formin like Photron and bomb
    [Chorus:]
    [Children] Y'all police best be ready!
    [Snatcha] If your tired of seein niggas gettin beat in the street
    [Children] Y'all police best be ready!
    [Snatcha] For all my hungry ass thugs that be tryin to eat
    [Children] Y'all police best be ready!
    [Snatcha] For my people in the ghetto, get up off of your feet
    And let the wolves out! (Unh)
    And let the wolves out! (What!)
    And let the wolves out! (Unh)
    Let the wolves out!
    [Billy Danze]
    Yo I been labelled a bad guy since birth (why's that)
    I was put on a part of the earth with a turf,
    its rugged never smooth
    (What have you got to loose!)
    Not a damn thing
    That's why I holler "Ante Up" when you holler "Bling Bling"
    How do I survive? I strap up all my heat
    I get out on the beat, I find a way to eat
    See William never sleep, you think it's somethin sweet
    And I will kindly li-li-li-li-lift yo' ass up off your feet
    Shackle me in chains, tamper with my brain
    Spit a ten digit number when you call me by my name
    Their system has been aimed
    For every 211 and every 187, my niggas is to blame
    What happened to Diallo is a motherfuckin shame
    How 'bout if I spit .41 that you were in the game
    ALL disrespect intended, to any lieutenant,
    who feel offended, by the way I represented, BITCH!
    [Chorus]
    [Lil' Fame]
    I put it down, M.O.P. spit FIIYAHH!
    Show 'em what we stand for, YES SIYYAAH!
    All I need is my niggas, my guns and, my CD's
    And I'ma ride, fuck N.Y.P.D.
    The STREET cops, patrollin them HEAT
    Goons be holdin 'em but fuck 'em
    We lay 'em down like linolieum
    GHETTO WARFARE! brroom, buck! We grip eight on
    The pop'll pop off, that's how we do in Brooknam
    Let the wolves out! Huh, all day
    For my niggas gettin money that hustle in hallways
    Get'cha money mister (mister) it's a (it's a) new day
    Don't mistreat the literate, cuz you could get it two ways
    Behind bars, or six feet deep
    So be careful who you fuckin wit
    Motherfuckin you fuckin with the UH, OH, UH, That's the truth
    It's the beatdown, derranged, gun poppers, salute!
