I admit it – I am a sucker for an underdog. And, this week's underdog is appropriately a wolf. With such maligned characters like the Big Bad Wolf, and the equally uninspiring sneaky wolves in Little Red Riding Hood and Peter and the Wolf, it's no wonder that wolves get such a bad rap with many folks. My mind is full of negative sayings (wolf down, cry wolf, lone wolf, wolf in sheep's clothing) but other than that children's book from a couple years' back, I just can't seem to think of many good portrayals of wolves in print. Can you?

Wolves are just so beautiful, I never knew how strong they were tho- 1500 pounds- yikes!
1I LOVE wolves. They are so amazing to see in real life. I went to Yellowstone the year wolves were re-introduced (I was 7) so we never got to see any. I want to go back and watch them in the wild
2BOO...4/7. They are really pretty. I love the movie Never Cry Wolf.
3wow, I knew way less than I thought i did. 2/7, shame on me
4Taken in my 'rents back yard.
5I didn't know anything (well, 43%)! Fun quiz though!
6Wolves amaze me. I only got 5/7, but I shouldn't say only.
7Those are some really cool pictures, aimeeb. I can't say I've ever had wolves in my backyard.
Thanks, ya it was crazy seeing them, at night you could hear babies howling.
8Love them
9I'm absolutely loving Petsugar! What a great addition - thank you so much for making this!
10Wow...Beauty, Fashion, Media AND Pets all on one site. You really spoil us.
Awesome quiz. I love wolves too. I've gots some friends and family that have wolf hybrids. They're awesome dogs. The one I got wrong was the biggest dog thing, because I was just thinking about like Great Danes and stuff, I guess I was thinking more like, there's dogs bigger. Oh well, I still love them!
11I love wolves, I "adopted" one when I was in elementary school.
12I love wolves!
13I love love LOVE wolves! I'd love to own a hybrid one day.... wolfdog. But I know it's a LOT of caring, and you need a HUGE expanse of land for those kind too. Ah, I can dream, can't i?
14wow aimeeb ure so lucky!
15Yay! My school's mascot is the wolves.
16The defenders of wildlife is a great advocate for the gray wolf.
17Wolves are amazing creatures...there is a park in my area, a drive thru animal park and the first time I saw the wolf was an amazing experience, definetely something everyone should experience.
18On the Pine Ridge reservation in South Dakota, there are wolfdogs that weren't force bred at all - the locals tend to take them in to protect them from overeager farmers, and I had one in my youth.
19I didn't do well on the quiz, but I do care for wolves and hope they are protected for a long time.
20Meh 4/5 isn't too too bad
21I got the first two wrong and that was it. I was just guessing on all of them.
