Wild Safari Wildlife Collection Despite common belief, black wolves are not their own species. Instead, they’re a melanistic variant of the gray wolf and are identical in every way except for the color of their coat. Black wolves are endemic anywhere gray wolves are, including Europe, Asia, and North America. History: Wolves, and in specific cases black wolves, are a common symbol and icon in many different cultures throughout Europe, Asia, and North America. Because of their jet black coat, a color commonly associated with evil, black wolves are traditionally regarded as vicious, malevolent, and powerful. On the contrary, these wolves are quite timid when it comes to interactions with humans and they often choose to avoid confrontation if possible. Scientific Name: Canis lupus Characteristics: All wolves use howling as a way to communicate with one another, and this black wolf toy is calling out for its pack! Like all of our figurines, this model has been painted and sculpted by hand to reflect not only our immaculate attention to detail, but our expert craftsmanship as well. Size: Standing 3.7 inches long and 2.75 inches tall, this black wolf toy figurine is a bit bigger than a deck of cards stood on its side. As black as the night, this dark colored canine is ready to go on a hunt! The Black Wolf is part of the Wild Safari® North American Wildlife collection. All of our products are Non-toxic and BPA free.
