In most cases, a pack of wolves won't dare take on a grizzly. They know it's not worth the time and effort when they can spend their time hunting elk, deer or moose instead of trying to kill a grizzly.

the question itself is incorrect, i do not believe even a grown wolf can consume one whole deer...

however.........

Getting enough to eat is a full-time job for a wolf. When wolves catch and kill a large mammal, they will gorge and then rest while the food is being rapidly digested. They will generally consume all but the hide, some of the large bones and skull and the rumen (stomach contents of ungulates) of their prey. Gray wolves can survive on about 2 1/2 pounds of food per wolf per day, but they require about 7 pounds per wolf per day to reproduce successfully. The most a large gray wolf can eat at one time is about 22.5 pounds. Adult wolves can survive for days and even weeks without food if they have to. Growing pups, however, require regular nourishment in order to be strong enough to travel and hunt with the adults by the autumn of their first year. Wolves often rely on food they have cached after a successful hunt in order to see them through lean times.

Red wolves may eat 2 to 5 pounds of food per day when prey is abundant. Because they are smaller than gray wolves, they can consume less at one time than their larger cousins. But like all wolves, eating for red wolves is a matter of "feast" followed by "famine."

In most cases a pack of wolves won't go about killing a black bear for any reason. It's not worth their time or effort to kill a black bear when they can spend it patrolling their territory, looking after their pups and hunting prey.

What are the wolvs predater?

Humans are the main predators of wolves. We have guns and traps. But wolf pups are very vulnerable to many things. The elements can freeze them, they can get left behind and starve, they might get killed by birds, bears, and other carnivores. Humans Predators, really none, a bear if the wolf comes to close to it Wolves do have enemies, but no predators that prey on them. Grizzly bears can very easily kill wolves, but they do not intentionally hunt them. Wolves don't really have predators. They have enemies, like a human would certainly be something, or a bear. A bear could kill them in a fight for the same kill. But other than that, wolves don't have predators.

How many grizzlies would it take to kill a moose?

One attacking grizzly bear is enough to kill a moose, but those large set of antlers are good at killing a bear. The moose would do whatever to fight off the grizzly bear with antlers, hooves, and muscles on the head to fight. But since grizzly bears are so large and have deadly claws, the moose would suffer fatal injuries on its head and the antlers as well. A powerful swipe of a grizzly bear's paw can break a moose's antler or even a bull. the grizzly bear's huge jaws with sharp enough teeth can kill a moose easily.

Can a wolf kill a polar bear?

An African lion (assuming that's what the questioner is asking about) lives on an entirely different continent than most bears. Thus, no, a lion cannot kill a bear. Mountain lions also are not able to kill a bear because they would rather avoid an animal that is able to defend itself. A lion can kill a black bear, but will lose to a grizzly bear, kodiak bear, brown bear, or polar bear.
