Wolf

( Canis lupus )

The wolf is the world’s most widespread predator and the largest in Denmark. They are very social animals and live in packs consisting of a breeding pair and their offspring of various ages. When the young wolves are old enough, they leave the pack and can travel great distances to find a place to settle. Wolves primarily feed on deer, wild boar, and hares. They are very shy animals and prefer to avoid close contact with humans.
