Actually even under the wolf family there are different species. I was
reading in a book Called the Dogs mind, that at one time, there were wolves,
like the Newfoundland wolf that weighted over two hundred pounds, and one
that lived near Japan, that weighed only twelve pounds. The book said,
wolves came in all colors, from white, to gray, to red, brown, sable, tan,
and even multicolored, there was also reported once a spotted black and
white wolf in the artic.
So... indeed, our world is quite a diverse one.

GTood, especially describing the animal, size, shape, color and so on. Yes
as we know there are different sizes of dogs that are the same breed such as
black labs, and so on and imagine there are different sizes of wolves like
in the timber.
