While wolves typically hunt for wild animals, they do occasionally prey on livestock. Considering the endangered status of these species and to manage wolf-livestock conflict, hundreds of ranchers in the United States are motivated to use tools like turbofladry, a electrical fencing barrier for wolf control. Such tools help save wolves and coexist.

North American Gray Wolf, also known as timber wolf. They have the most powerful jaws — 42 highly specialized teeth — with a biting capacity of 1000 and 1500 pounds per square inch!
Gray wolves were once considered to have had the largest ranges of any species – spanning throughout Eurasia, North America and the Africa, covering the entire continental northern hemisphere.
Some records suggests that there were up to 400,000 wolves in the US alone, sadly these species were hunted to near extinction in the continental US. Today, there are only about 9,000 in the United States.
The range of a wolf pack typically varies from 80- 300 miles, but in extreme northern regions, there territories they can cover over 1000 sq miles!
They can survive without food for 17 days in the wild.
For Native American wolves are a special creature that deserve utmost respect. They are also known as a guide to the spiritual world. In fact some tribes give all credit of their hunting ability to the wolves. They say they learnt hunting by watching these wolves!

Despite the brutal cold and strong wind, a small variety of mammals survive in the cold, arctic conditions found in the summit of Mount Washington. Species like foxes; squirrels, mice, weasels, and bobcats can be found around the summit area. Even wandering moose and beavers have braved the events to visit the upper reaches of the mountain.
Among all, Common Ravens frequent the summit delighting spectators with their acrobatics! During summer months other bird species like white throated sparrows, juncoes, and pipits reside in or near the alpine meadows. What is more surprising is that stink bugs and even mosquitoes reach the summit during the brief milder conditions of summer!

This is the Tip-Top House, the oldest surviving building in the summit area of Mount Washington and delivered by the state to be the oldest extant mountain-top hostelry in the world. It was built in 1853 and during that time the building’s flat roof was used to place large telescopes to create an observatory. The building stands adjacent to Mount Washington Summit (extreme right of the picture) at 6,288 feet, the tallest mountain in the northeastern United States.
