Passage 1: Wolves

A wolf is a wild dog. They do not live in houses like a dog does, but they look alike.

Passage 2: Gray Wolves

Gray Wolves used to live all over America. Now, they only live in some parts of America. They form groups, or packs, of 7 to 8 wolves. They live and look for food together.
