The weight and size of wolves vary widely throughout the world, tending to increase proportionally with latitude, as predicted by Christian Bergman's theory. In general, height, measured from the shoulders, varies from 60 to 95 centimeters.
Weight varies geographically. On average, European wolves weigh 38.5 kg; the wolves of North America, 36 kg; Indian and Arabian wolves, 25 kg; [7] Although rare, wolves weighing over 77 kg have been found in Alaska, Canada, [8] and the former Soviet Union.
“There is something about the howling of a wolf that takes a man out of the here and now and into a forest of the mind.”
