This could be a double definition.

'increasingly grey wolves will' is the first definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't understand how one could define the other.

Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'get' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for packaging that I've seen before include "Boxes, wrapping, etc" , "wrapping material" , "Presentation to public" , "binding" .)
