Who are "Otters" & "Wolves" in the gay "Bear" community?

Question

My partner and I were watching an episode of "In the Life"on the LOGO channel. The show focused on the "bear" lifestyle. Aside from Bears the narrator also mentioned "Cubs", "Otters" & "Wolves". My partner spoke over the discription of "Otters" & "Wolves" and I didn't hear the meaning. I know who Bears & Cubs are but who are the other two? Can anyone explain.

An otter is a rather slim, but excessively hairy gay man. (Much like a real otter looks in the zoo or wild.)

A wolf (to the best of my recollection) is a gay man who is older, hairy, but DOMINANT and assertive if not aggressive in his quest for male partners. Some wolf life partners seek out playmates who are not like them, who are less assertive. Think of real wolves on the prowl.

Whereas an "otter" looks like a real otter (the animal), a "wolf" [supposedly] ACTS like a real wolf.

Otters are thin very hairy guys and Wolves are dominate masculine hairy men that are loners. But those are just generalizations.

Just one hour of Rough Gay Wolf Sex can power the average eventually settled on Rough Gay Wolf Sex.

There are an estimated 2,000 wolf couples producing energy around-the-clock in a field just outside Austin to provide Dallas with a never-ending flow of clean, renewable power. It's estimated only 30% of wolves participating in the Rough Gay Wolf Sex program are actually gay, and only 70% of those gay couples are in love. As such, wolf morale often falls low. Most wolves are only in the job because they dropped out of high-school, and need to put in 13 hours shifts to support their family at home.

GAY OTTER = skinny or thin "bear"
