    Wolves communicate through howling and live in hierarchical packs. Gray wolves were once found across the Northern Hemisphere but were hunted because they preyed on livestock. Red wolves in the southeast U.S. went extinct in the wild in 1980 but have been reintroduced through breeding programs. Wolf packs have 6-10 members that cooperate to hunt large prey like deer and moose, and a single wolf can consume 9kg of meat at a time.

    Read the following text and answer the questions below.

    Wolves are legendary because of their howl, which they use to


    communicate.
    A lone wolf howls to attract the attention of his pack, while communal howls may send
    territorial messages from one pack to another. Much like barking domestic dogs, wolves
    may simply begin howling because a nearby wolf has already begun.

    Wolves are the largest members of the dog family. Gray wolves are by far the most
    common and were once found all over the Northern Hemisphere. Though wolves
    almost never attack humans, they are considered one of the world's most fearsome
    animals. They do attack domestic animals, and countless wolves have been shot,
    trapped, and poisoned because of this tendency.

    Red wolves live in the southeastern United States, where they are endangered. These
    animals actually became extinct in the wild in 1980. Scientists established a
    breeding program with a small number of captive red wolves, and have reintroduced
    the animal to North Carolina.

    The maned wolf lives in South America. Physically, this animal resembles a large,
    red fox more than its wolf relatives.

    Wolves live and hunt in packs of around six to ten animals. They are known to roam
    large distances, perhaps 20 kilometers in a single day. These social animals
    cooperate on their preferred prey - large animals such as deer, elk, and moose. When
    they are successful, wolves do not eat in moderation. A single animal can consume 9
    kilograms of meat at a sitting. Wolves also eat smaller mammals, birds, fish, lizards,
    snakes and fruit.

    Wolf packs are established according to a strict hierarchy. The dominant male is at
    the top and his mate not far behind. Usually this male and female are the only
    animals of the pack to breed. All of a pack's adults help to care for young pups by
    bringing them food and watching them, while others hunt.
