'''Wolves''' are dog-like animals. They usually hunt in packs. As a sign of submissiveness, a wolf will expose his neck to another wolf, who (instead of taking advantage of this vulnerability) will assume a dominant role toward him.

'''Wolves''' are canids who belong in the genus canis, along with coyotes. There are several subspecies of wolf, including domestic dogs, dingoes, and the mexican wolf. They usually hunt in packs. As a sign of submissiveness, a wolf will expose his neck to another wolf, who (instead of taking advantage of this vulnerability) will assume a dominant role toward him.

Attempts were made in the 1930s and thereafter to eliminate these animals as pests, in the United States, particularly in [[Yellowstone National Park]]. The Canadian government also made plans to exterminate wolves (see [[Farley Mowat]]).  Thankfully, this effort was unsuccesful as wolves still survive in both countries.
