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.
Attempts were made in the 1930s and thereafter to eliminate these animals as pests, in the United States, particularly in Yellowstone National Park.
The last wolf in England was shot on the fringes of Hounslow Heath, Middlesex, in 1756.
The gray wolf (Canis lupus) is the ancestor of the domestic dog.
