Wolves can be up to 150 cm long, weighing 30-65 kg (biggest recorded weight - 79 kg). Their body is covered in rough gray fur, though there can be black, white, brown, or yellowish wolves. Their ears are not very long, with sharp tips. Their skull is bulky, their teeth are strong, and their molars are elongated.
Wolves usually live for 6-9 years in the nature, while in captivity their average lifespan is 16 years (longest recorded - 20 years). Wolves are often called the custodians of the forest because they mostly hunt geriatric or sick animals.
In Lithuania wolves are most commonly found in the wooded regions of the West and South-East, elsewhere they are rare.
Once wolves were very common all over Europe, but they have been exterminated over a long time by farmers and hunters.
