Howling Grace

            
             A howl of a wolf will definitely send chills up and down our spines no matter how brave we are. A wolf is an animal we usually lookup to and respect. Therefore, there have been lots of discussions about this mammal throughout the history of mankind. So it is inevitable to have folklore and myths about this wonderful creature. Most of our myths and legends have portrayed the wolf as a threat to human existence and it has been judged as one of the most evil creatures that roam the earth. However, the wolf is an animal which is greatly misunderstood and in reality it is totally harmless if left alone and it surely deserves much more respect.
             The wolf is a doglike wild carnivore of the family Canidae. The grey wolf is the most common of all wolves. It was found in North America and Eurasia and today it is primarily found in Asia and from Alaska to the northern plains states. The wolf has a broad head suggesting its intelligence. Its robust limbs are ideal for hunting and surviving in the rugged terrain. It has large feet to give it the right grip. Its chest is deep but narrow. The ears are so straight as if they are signifying the firmness and the determination of the animal. The fur is very dense and has a rich white-grey texture which keeps the designer labels craving for the fur. The fur is long and soft. Like a knight in shiny armor the wolf literarily shines when sunlight kisses its body. The long tail with hair all over jogs our memory of a broom used to clean cob webs. The look on a wolf's face reminds us of a wise man indulged in deep thought. Its tiny eyes dazzling with sunlight are hazel in color. When the wolf breaths, it gives off a sound which is similar to what you hear when the wind twitters through an empty pipe. The front teeth which are perfect for slashing out flesh are like pointed swords. .
             In a story my granny used to tell me about the three little pigs, the wolf is referred to as the Big Bad Wolf.
