Wolf

A rroooo! Wolves are said to

howl at the moon. That isn’t

actually true, but wolves do howl
after sunset, because they are most

active in the dark. Wolves live in
packs, and when one wolf starts

howling all the others join in. Wolves
also communicate using body

language. If you’re the boss, you
hold your ears and tail high, but

if you are junior, you crouch low,
flatten your ears, and tuck your

tail between your legs.

In Viking mythology there was a

giant wolf called Fenrir. He was so fierce
that the gods tied him up with a magical

chain so he couldn’t escape.
