Questions and answers

Do wolves really howl at the moon?

No. The moon's phases make no difference to a wolf's howling. The full moon beside the Howling wolf is there for the picture.

Is a wolf a kind of dog?

It belongs to the same family. The wolf is the largest wild member of the dog family, with a broader snout and a longer tail than a coyote or a jackal.

Which wolf pictures show a face?

Three: the Wolf face and the Wolf pup look straight at you, and the Wolf head in profile looks left. The other wolves are whole animals, howling, running or standing in snow.
