How Fast Is Grey Wolf?

Grey wolves can sprint at 60 km/h but trot for over 30 km without tiring. Like humans, they are persistence predators — chasing prey into exhaustion rather than catching it through speed alone.

A wolf's howl can be heard up to 16 km away in still air — and individual wolves have distinctive 'voices' that pack-mates can identify by sound alone.

• Slightly slower than a greyhound
• Persistence predators, like humans
