Introduction
I chose the red wolf because it was the first interesting
animal that came to my mind. Did you know that the red
wolf shows it’s super sharp teeth to protect itself when
hunters come by? The wolf's sharp teeth are for tearing
apart meat. Its colors are red, brown, gray, and orange.
Red wolves are endangered so we (humans) should be
very careful so that we don’t completely wipe out their
entire race. Red wolves are predators . This is why they
have sharp teeth. Red wolves live in packs with a king,
called the alpha male and his wife or mate, the alpha
female. Those are some reasons why I think that weird,
interesting animal is so cool.
Body Characteristics
The red wolf has some awesome body parts... and
that is why I am writing to tell you about them . A
red wolf has fur that changes color to camouflage
itself from it’s prey so it can hop out and grab it. If
that was not true ,poor wolves might die of
starvation. A red wolf has soft fur, but you shouldn’t
keep one as a pet. A red wolf has a long nose, weighs
from 40-80 pounds ,and is 55-56 inches long. A red
wolf is a mammal that has cool body parts in my
eyes.
Food and Nutrition
Red wolves have a very interesting diet. They eat : white tailed
deer, raccoon ,rabbits, birds, and other small animals. As you
can see they are carnivores and predators. A carnivore means
you eat meat, and predators means you eat other animals.
Usually, they hunt for big animals as a pack, but sometimes
they hunt by themselves for smaller animals. Sometimes they
go without food for weeks … which causes them to die. If one
wolf dies, they have so much of a relationship that, unlike other
animals don’t eat each other. If their prey is fast or strong or
just big ,they might hide behind a tree and jump out to attack.
When pups are about three weeks old ,then they start to eat
meat. They eat meals 1-3 times a day. I think the red wolf eats
cool things and that is why I wanted to write about it.
Life Cycle
Red wolves have a really cool life cycle. They are born
alive, which means they don’t hatch from eggs. They stay
with their mother when they are newborn and for a while
after. Their mother provides them milk until they are
about three months old. They breathe from their lungs
the second they are born and are old enough to mate
when they are 2 years old. New pups are born about 63
days after mating. Some wolves stay with the pack ,while
others start a new one. Minnesota is the only state where
wolves can live successfully other than Alaska. A lot of
people save these poor wolves by not hunting them. So
red wolves are endangered and we should not hunt them
… this would cause them to live their lives.
Habitat
 Red wolves have many different habitats, but I am
going to tell you how they are alike and different .
They have trees and grass and are all muddy. They
reach temperatures of 70 degrees Fahrenheit and
can go all the way down to 30 degrees Fahrenheit.
These habitats are mostly in SE (southeast)U.S..
Can you guess where they live ?if not, I’ll tell you
where they are: prairies, forested areas, coastal
plains, swamps, and brush. Those are cool habitats
in my eyes

and I hope now in yours too.

report.
Closing paragraph
I am writing this paragraph to summarize my report. I
chose the red wolf because it was the first animal
that came to my mind. It has soft fur on the bottom ,
and bristly fur on top. Red wolves eat white tailed
deer, raccoons, rabbits, small animals, etc. Babies
are born 63 days after mating. They can be found in
swamps, brush, forests, prairies, and coastal plains.
Red wolves can travel up to 20 miles per day! I
enjoyed writing my animal report and I learned over
20 new things about my animal!
