How to identify a Wolf

Wolves are from the canine family and do not have retractable claws such as that of most of the Feline family.
Wolves have chests that are narrow and keel-like. Wolves have the ability to lengthen or shorten the hair on their manes, which will stand out since the hair on the mane is the longest and can grow up to 7 cm.
Also wolves are aggressive and hunt in packs which consist of adults and young, while foxes hunt in pairs of 2 or hunt by themselves. Wolves ears are always up and never droop down or hang down. Its tail is never curled, but can be brought down or be put straight up, depending on the wolves mood.

A Wolfs hair colour can also be another clue:
A wolves coat is never spotted. In the Arctic, A wolves coat is White as to camouflage in the White snow.
