Wolde
imp.
Any one of several species of wild and savage carnivores belonging to the genus Canis and closely allied to the common dog. The best-known and most destructive species are the European wolf ( Canis lupus ), the American gray, or timber, wolf ( Canis occidentalis ), and the prairie wolf, or coyote. Wolves often hunt in packs, and may thus attack large animals and even man.
