History

An ambient species that often travels across a variety of terrains.

Trivia

Awareness in regard to the senses is similar to other species of wolf. Sensitivity to minute changes can alert a group to outer influences from a considerable distance.

Individuals appear to signal each other through calls and patterns of motion for different purposes, which has made studying groups difficult.

The striped fur pattern may be an inherited adaptation meant to allow concealment beneath the trees.

The feathers of the winged extremities appear to be very similar to that of avian species, allowing for flight.

Most individuals appear smaller than other taxonomic specimens. It is greatly unclear whether the bones of individuals are also lighter, which can affect duration of flight.

Groups appear to favour both the ground and higher elevations. Trees and alike surfaces evidently are typically disregarded, whereas flat ledges and other terrain are used intermittently to survey the nearby landscape.

Whether in flight or remaining discreet, there appears to be a consistent awareness by individuals of the surroundings. Prey species and potential threats are often assessed from a varying distance.

Hunting frequently is coordinated. Individuals weaken prey by striking it from the air in succession.

If a prey animal is small enough, one or more individuals may attempt to lift it off the ground in order to kill it by throwing it into the nearby terrain, or drop it from a height.

Bombarding sticks and other materials at invading parties appears a learned behaviour, if infrequent.

Pack sizes are typically smaller than other wolf species, and social basis may be more closely correlated in regard to individual roles.

Losses may be more damaging to a typical group by extent of numerical limitation.
