It's important to note that:
* This is an outlier: Most grey wolves weigh significantly less, typically between 60-100 pounds (27-45 kg).
* Size varies by location: Wolves from northern regions like Alaska tend to be larger than wolves from more southern regions.
* Individual variation: Just like humans, individual wolves can have different sizes even within the same population.
So while 176 pounds is the largest documented weight for a grey wolf, it's not representative of the average size.
