We call it the gray wolf, but it can be any color from white to black. We also call it the timber wolf, but the cry of the pack can be heard just about anywhere in the Arctic. A six-week-old cub is just big enough to squeak out a few high notes when the pack begins to howl.

of the United States, and more than twice the size of Texas, the second largest state.

Juneau is Alaska's capital. Juneau covers 3,108 square miles (8,050 square
kilometers) and ranks as the nation's largest city in area. Anchorage is Alaska's most
heavily populated city.

than any other city in Alaska.
