Vukovi su najveći pripadnici porodice pasa (Canidae). Mesojedi su, glavni plijen im čine parnoprstaši ili, u krajevima blizu ljudi, love domaće životinje. Žive u društvenim skupinama – čoporima. Čopor ima između 2 i 20 članova, obično ih ima oko osam. Čopor zajedno lovi, hrani se, putuje i odmara cijele godine. Da bi takav život funkcionirao, u čoporu postoji složena hijerarhija. Jezgru čopora čini alfa par koji se razmnožava i predvodi čopor te ima najviše privilegija, a ostatak čopora su njihovi mladunci, već odrasli ili još štenci. Svi članovi čopora odgajaju mlade. Čopor ima vlastiti teritorij koji označava mirisom i zavijanjem time ga čuvajući od ostalih vukova. Od vukova su se prije više od 15 000 godina razvili današnji psi (Canis lupus familiaris). Wolf is the largest member of the Canidae family. They are carnivores to whom main prays are Artiodactyla with exceptions of hunting domestic animals when they live close to people. They live in social groups called packs which can count between 2 and 20 members, usually around 8. Members of pack hunt, travel, feed and relax together every day of the year. To make that kind of life work they have social structure. The pack core is made of alpha pair which breeds, leads pack’s way and has most privileges. Rests of the pack population are their grown up children or pups. All of the members are involved in raising young. Each pack has its own territory which they mark with scent, and also use howling to keep other wolves away from their ground. Dogs (Canis lupus familiaris) diverged from wolves more than 15,000 years ago.
