Wolves (Lupus) are the origin of the domestic dog (lupus familaris). They are in the same family as foxes, coyotes and dingoes but they are a lot rarer after farms were created. Once wolves lived with humans, helping them to hunt and guarding property, they became the hunted once farmers domesticated animals onto farms and found wolves to be a threat to their livestock.
The timber wolf, the native wolf became extinct in Britain in1680 (Although some stories indicate that the last wolf was killed in 1743 but this is unlikely as one wolf cannot live for 63 years) and recent reintroduction schemes have also failed in the Scottish moors. Britain is not the only place to be killing wolves off. America has pushed the once wide spread population of wolves through out the States back to ranges in Alaska, Idaho, Montana, Michigan, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Wyoming, and Canada. Wolves are also suffering in the eastern world except in Russia and Siberia where numbers are constant.
Wolves have a pack system that every wolf in the world seems to abide by; the alpha pair eats first and always lead the pack when relocating. The beta pair step in to the alpha’s position if something happens to the male or both of the wolves, they eat second and act as protectors for the alpha whilst they eat and put any wolf challenging the alpha back in line. The last of all of is the omega, this wolf is very timed and acts as a look out whilst the other wolves are eating and when they leave, they may eat the remains (usually stomach content.)
Wolves tend to hunt and feed on rabbits, elk, deer and sometimes on buffalo and moose. There has never been a report of a wolf that had not been suffering from health issue attacking a human, if wolves see a human they will always run. However, there have been reports of wolves eating humans that have died of other causes.

Wolverine
1. The preeminent badass of the Marvel Universe. A 5'3" hair covered Canadian mutant, whose trade mark adamantium skeleton and razor sharp claws are the stuff of legend. He is so gnarly that he's spent the last century perpetually kicking ass in the early morning and taking names in the afternoon and coming back for supper to kick ass again.

Get the Wolverine mug.Possibly the best AHL team that ever existed, and the only Chicago sports team that is not cursed or has done crappy in past years, being that they have only been in existance for ten years and have never failed to make the playoffs. In those ten playoff runs they have won the Calder Cup three times. They have some of the best fans, players and rivalries in the game of hockey. Steve Maltais rules, Wolves rule, enough said.
The Chicago Wolves so OWN the Milwaukee Admirals and even the Chicago Blackhawks' asses. I'm so friggin happy I have season tickets.

Get the Chicago Wolves mug.An intense form of rain. Similar to the phrase "raining cats and dogs." Typically the rain is coming down in torrents before it is changed from cats and dogs, to wolves and tigers.
Joe: Whoa! it's raining cats and dogs out there man!!
Adam: Nah, I'd say more like Raining Wolves and Tigers, i can barely see the street from the sidewalk!

Get the Raining Wolves and Tigers mug.A football program whose best days were in the great depression era. They truly suck in today's time and are guranteed to be shittier with rich rodriguez as coach. They make fun of ohio state fans yet they get their asses beat by them every year by more than 3 touchdowns. Bad colors, lack of talent, and the city ann arbor all equal to a program that recruits and people in general find as crap on a stick.
Billy- The Michigan Wolverines are the winningest program in college football.
Kyle- Yea when my deceased grandfather was just being born
Billy- Michigan still has some good players and their stadium is one of the biggest in america
Kyle- Thats not what terrelle pryor thought after he decommited and when appalachian state made the "big house" the "big dump."
