Also known as wooly wolf they are native to Central Asia and commonly found in Tibet, hence the name. It's large skull and teeth distinguish the wolf from the rest of the family and gives them a fearsome look as well. These wolves are at home in the bare and open regions. In the uplands, they live as nomads coming down to the valleys in winter. As they say, winter is coming! These fierce predators hunt by day or night and what they hunt depends on the nature of the habitat. Near the human settlements where there is little to eat, they mainly prey on cattle and in a pack can hunt down prey several times their size. In areas away from settlement they hunt for Blue Sheep, Pikas, gazelles and hares or any birds they can capture.
