Grey Wolf

The Grey Wolf is an advanced game animal.

Summary
Grey wolves are considered the top predator of WEO. They're also the most expensive to unlock at 95,000 points.

Grey wolves have many interesting attributes - they can create packs and integrate lone wolves and offspring as members of those packs.

The highest ranking wolves in a pack can howl to Rally their Pack, which will cause lower-ranking wolves to follow them around for a period of time. They can also order Pack Attacks on prey animals, which will cause the lower-ranking wolves of a pack to assist in hunting.

Enemies
Bears are aggressive towards grey wolves and will hunt them down to attack them. Coyotes and bobcats will attack grey wolves as well, though they will generally flee if attacked in retaliation.

Other grey wolves will also frequently seek out and attack their own kind if they are not in the same pack.

Red foxes will retaliate if attacked, but will not attack grey wolves of their own accord.

Diet
Grey wolves feed on a substantial amount of fresh or rotten meat. They can also eat berries, though they don't fill a grey wolf's hunger bar very much.

Dens
Grey wolves mate in late winter. They can make their dens in large holes or bear caves and their nests are built using 13 straw and 2 leaves.

In early spring wolves give birth to 3-7 pups, with 4 seeming to be the average. Pups are reliant for their mother for milk for the first season of their life - after they're weaned they can eat meat of any age, berries, and regurgitated food.

Pups age up in approximately two seasons and leave the den in early fall.

Trivia & Tips

 * Using your pack to hunt Elk and Bison while you have offspring can be useful as you or your mate will need lots of food.
 * Pack hunting can be difficult and your pack may endlessly chase a tile behind your prey if they can't catch and kill it immediately. The best approach is to rally every member of your pack on the same tile as the prey you're attempting to bring down before ordering an attack. Once everyone else has dealt some damage, it can be much easier for a player to give chase and deliver the final blows.
 * Only the two highest ranking grey wolves of any given world can mate, even if those two are in different packs. The offspring will be automatically added to the player's pack.
