Canadian timber wolves are slim, powerfully built animals that are capable of running at speeds of 34-38 miles per hour. They may weigh up to 79 lbs and possess extremely dense and fluffy winter fur. Their hearing is sharp enough to pick up the drop of leaves throughout the autumn season. These are highly territorial animals, and usually create territories significantly larger than they need to endure in order to secure a steady source of prey. Wolves yowl to assemble the pack (mostly in advance and following hunts), to pass on an alarm (particularly at a den area), to find each other during a storm or unfamiliar territory and to connect across extreme distances and when howling mutually, they harmonize rather than chorus on the matching note, thus creating the illusion of there being other wolves than there really are.
