THE TIMBER-WOLF 



HERE are two kinds of 

 wolves found in the United 

 States. One is the little 

 coyote or prairie-wolf, or 

 barking-wolf, which never 

 was found in the Eastern States, being an 

 animal of the open country ; the other is 

 the big wolf, sometimes called the buffalo- 

 wolf, and sometimes the timber-wolf or* 

 gray wolf, which was formerly found /f 

 everywhere from the Atlantic to 

 Pacific. In some districts it runs to color 

 varieties of different kinds red, black J 

 or white.
