66.  The Gray Wolf

The gray (or grey) wolf is a big canine native to both North America and Eurasia.  On average they weigh 88 pounds.  They’re up to 63 inches long and have a shoulder height of up to 33 inches.  This pack animal is thriving in Alaska but is otherwise endangered in almost every other state.  While you could potentially see a gray wolf in a number of US national parks, the best place to spot one is at the popular Grizzly and Wolf Discovery Center found in famous Yellowstone National Park.
