Best Answer

wolves survive the winter by food. because wolves can eat 1 elk and go on for several weeks it helps them through the winter.

Some of the Gray Wolves that have been returned to Yellowstone Park in the USA have become bison-specialists. ALL Wolves hunt in packs, so 1 elk will last a few DAYS, not weeks. 1 Buffalo (Bison) will last several days, also. But wolves travel and leave the carcass for scavengers, such as bears. The wolves are actually MORE SUCCESSFUL hunting in winter, because their prey has difficulty negotiating the deep snow.
