The Mexican gray wolf (Canus lupis baileyi) is the smallest subspecies of the gray wolves. Sometimes referred to as Lobo (the Spanish word for wolf), these wolves are most likely extinct in the wild. Mexican gray wolves are about three feet in length and seventy pounds in weight. Their tails are about a foot long, and their thick fur is a blend of gray, brown, black, and rust colors. The long mane around the neck is usually dark gray. Gray wolves are nocturnal, hunting at night and resting during the day. They usually travel at a walking pace of about four miles per hour, but have a running pace of over forty miles per hour. They can maintain top speed for up to twenty minutes, and can cover one hundred miles a day. Their impressive speed and stamina, combined with the ability to detect odors over a mile away, make Mexican gray wolves excellent hunters. Mexican gray wolves live in oak and pine forests. They are pack animals, hunting primarily hoofed animals such as deer, cattle, and sheep. Wolves track their prey over long distances by scent, attempting to remain undetected while they move in close for the kill. If the pack is detected and the prey flees, the wolves will pursue for up to three miles before giving up. Packs are usually made up of five to eight wolves. Generally packs are family groups, made up of a mated pair of wolves and their pups. Since wolves mate for life, the pack structure tends to be very stable. Packs mark their territory and defend their ranges against lone wolves or neighboring packs. The alpha male is the head of the pack and leads the hunt. His howl assembles the pack; the sound will carry to pack members who are as much as seven miles away.When a female is ready to bear a litter of pups she finds or creates a den. The mother remains in the den until the pups are born, and for at least five weeks thereafter, until the pups are weaned. During this period the mother is unable to hunt, and must rely on the rest of the pack to bring food for her and her pups. In the early and middle parts of the twentieth century, the Mexican gray wolf was considered a threat to humans and livestock in the American Southwest. Because of this, the US Predatory Animal Rodent Control was formed, and in 1970, killed the last wild Mexican gray wolf in the United States. About two hundred of these wolves remain in captivity. Plans are now being made to reintroduce them into the wild. |
