timber wolves
Pack-hunting forest canines
Timber wolves are gray wolves, the largest wild members of the dog family.
The name emphasizes their forest habitat in North America, distinguishing them from wolves of tundra or prairie regions.
Timber wolves once ranged across most of the continent.
The terms timber wolf and gray wolf are interchangeable, though timber wolf sounds more rugged and American.
