wolf paw measurements and BPM

Paw measurements are different from specie to specie.
I found this about Gray Wolf paw measurements:

I've found more things about wolf paws:
About bpms, I couln't find anything but I think it is different from female to male. Not sure.Humans are plantigrade, walking upon our entire flat foot, sole to heel. All members of the canine family, and the feline family too, are digitigrade, walking upon just their toe tips. Unless a wolf is lying down, the heel of each foot does not come in contact with the ground. The front feet of a wolf are exceptionally large. This is of great advantage to the wolf when it runs upon snow, as it allows greater weight distribution and more support to prevent the animal from sinking in as deeply when the snow is soft.
The wolf has five toes on each forefoot, but only four are actually needed. The fifth toe, corresponding to our thumb, has regressed. It is found up on the middle of the foot and is known as the dew claw. There are just four toes on each of the hind feet. Each toe pad is surrounded by stiff, bristly hairs, which act as insulation and also provides a better grip on slippery ice surfaces. The claws are strong and blunt because the tips are worn off by constant contact with the ground. These are used for digging and in gripping the earth while running, not for seizing prey.
Hope this helps you.

Well the BPM (Beats per minute and breaths per minute) would vary greatly if they were resting or active. Or just hot and having to pant to cool down.

Re: wolf paw measurements and BPM
Mostly when the wolf is active but it is not running. So i guess resting...
