of these land dwelling creatures eat the flesh and meat of other animals. Of these species of carnivores‚ wolves are one of the most common. Some of these wolves are small and adapted to heat like the African Wild Dog‚ while others are used to tropical forests like the red wolf. Living among these other wild canines‚ some have been domesticated and are now the common house dog. However‚ two of the similar yet drastically different wolves are the gray wolf and the arctic wolf‚ each adding their
