Loup gris est l’une des vingt-quatre espèces de cet atlas. Ce n’est pas un catalogue : évolution, anatomie, comportement, culture, icônes, conservation et aire forment un seul système.
Les scores comparent vitesse, intelligence, aire, résilience, impact culturel et rôle écologique. Ce sont des jugements éditoriaux relatifs, pas un classement de laboratoire.
Sept chapitres creusent : origines, corps et sens, vie et comportement, culture, icônes, pression de conservation et l’aire partagée avec les gens.
Introduction profonde
Deep dive: Loup gris
Loup gris is not a single postcard animal. It is a set of populations, subspecies and human rules inside the wildlife family of this atlas.
Diversité, corps, culture et aires — plus une lentille de cette région linguistique.
Diversity inside the type
Field guides collapse many lineages into the English word Loup gris. Subspecies, flyways and captive lines do not share one fate -- bald eagles and Philippine eagles, or western and mountain gorillas, are the caution.
This atlas picks a Wikipedia title as the hero image and then keeps the rest of the grade in view so a recovered stock cannot launder a CR cousin.
Life in the landscape
A long-legged canid with a sagittal crest for temporalis muscle and a dentition for both flesh and bone. Packs are families more often than Hollywood armies.
Endurance chase and ambush on ungulates; winter moose or elk, summer more deer and beaver. Scavenge is ordinary.
Culture and meaning
English-language culture met the Loup gris through film, law, heraldry and zoos. Those portrayals move money and sometimes take; they are not a field census.
The culture chapter dates posters and statutes so a 1975 film or a 1961 logo cannot pretend to be a 2020s Red List.
Conservation and money
Least Concern globally after recoveries in parts of Europe and North America; Mexican and some regional wolves remain separately endangered.
Tourism, conflict payments, quotas and captive loans are dated economic bands in the market chapter -- not live prices and not a best-species prize.

Biology deep dive: Loup gris
Loup gris biology is a stack of structure, energy, sensing and hard limits. The four sections below are the same headings used across the atlas so types can be compared without a best-species frame.
Anatomie, sens, comportement et limites — plus le langage de terrain de cette région.
Structure
A long-legged canid with a sagittal crest for temporalis muscle and a dentition for both flesh and bone. Packs are families more often than Hollywood armies.
Load paths and tissues (not metals) are expanded in the anatomy chapter.
Energy and foraging
Endurance chase and ambush on ungulates; winter moose or elk, summer more deer and beaver. Scavenge is ordinary.
The how-it-works diagrams reduce that budget to a six-node loop.
Senses and control
Smell and a howl that spaces packs. Night hunts use hearing as much as the postcard stare.
Control here means the animal steering itself -- not a vehicle ECU.
Limits
Lead, poison, and a ballot. LC globally does not retire a rancher or a Mexican-wolf recovery plan.
Resilience scores encode those limits relative to the other 23 types.
Four other atlas types, six terms, three threads and three local notes -- a map out of the Loup gris page without leaving the 24-id taxonomy.

Habitat and movement
Where the Loup gris breeds and feeds is the first constraint. Single lakes, islands and forests appear again in the history timeline.
Range scores in this atlas mark how widely that movement runs -- albatross and blue whale high, koi and panda low -- not a quality ranking.
Research and law
Named projects (Project Tiger, ACAP, ICCAT, Amboseli) are the English-language bureaucracy of the type.
Listings and downlists are dated events in the timeline, not eternal essences.
Culture and price
Film, auction and logo years are filed under culture and market so they cannot masquerade as demography.
The icons chapter keeps eight real Wikipedia titles so a later language pack can attach the same faces.
