Gray wolves, are the largest wild members of the dog family.They have silvery gray-brown backs,light tan and cream underparts, and long bushy tails.Males are usually larger than females.The pelage can be any shade of gray, brown, black, white, or tawny.Some have grizzled gray-brown fur and look similar to a German shepherd dog.In winter, their fur becomes darker on the neck, shoulders, and rump.
Red wolves are mostly brown and buff colored with some black along their backs, often with a reddish color on their ears, head and legs. Adult red wolves range in weight from about 45 to 80 pounds. Red wolves have wide heads with broad muzzles, tall pointed ears and long, slender legs with large feet.
Red wolves have there name because they have a tawny reddish coat.and they are intermediate in size between grey wolves and coyotes.That makes sense, as these two species interbred in the past to produce the red wolves' ancestors.
The eastern wolf's morphology is midway between that of the gray wolf and the coyote. The fur is typically of a grizzled grayish-brown color mixed with cinnamon. The nape, shoulder and tail region are a mix of black and gray, with the flanks and chest being rufous or creamy.
The eastern wolf scientific name is Canis lupus lycaon
