Temperate dog [Wolf species]

[GreenTheGreat]

So I used that 'Wolf stuff from wiki' thing to do this.

-

The temperate dog is a newly discovered species of wolf that live deep in a temperate jungle and are very intelligent.

They have a similar build to that of a grey wolf, but they have thinner legs and smaller paws, making it harder for creatures in the undergrowth of the jungle to strike at them. They also have shorter fur, helping them survive in the hotter temperatures.

Females and males are virtually the same.

 

These wolves are specifically in one jungle, but the jungle is huge, making it so little inbreeding happens.

 

They mainly hunt larger predators, being able to strategize hunting, but they will hunt smaller herbivores when the larger predators are scarce.

 

These wolves are still very social, with average packs being around 7 members

Pups usually stay with their pack for 3 years before leaving to make their own pack.

Their territories are not big, as they can climb up the extremely tall trees, giving them more area for their packs.

Disputes between packs are common, although not usually fatal unless wolves are deep into another pack's territory.

The parents are the leaders of these packs.

Dens are usually near a source of fresh running water.

 

These wolves seem to communicate almost as well as people, with their own language.

They have different barks, growls, howls, and other noises to seemingly mean different things, but we are unsure what they mean yet.

 

Females usually have 2-3 pups and stay in the den with them for 3 weeks.

The pups are always accompanied by a parent, as other wolves will try to target and take them.
