in the wild wolves live up to 9years, but in captivity wolves can live up to 16 years of age
up to 16 years old, some times when they are kept in captivity they are taken away from their parents at 10 days old so that they can be hand reared so that they dont attack people WOLVES ROCK!

---------------------------------

In the wild a wolf normally lives between 6-13 years,though anything above 10 is a bit uncommon.
about same lifetime of a dog.. 13 years?
17-20 years
Average age is 13-15 years, some can live to be 16 or 17.
13-16 years
On average, maybe 7-10 years old, but there are wolves that reach up to 15 years of age.
A wolf's lifespan is that of an average large dog (somewhere around 10 years). But other factors must be taken into consideration, such as enviorment, food supply, disease, other wolves, other predators, etc.
They usually live for about 13 yrs.
wolves can get 9 years old
in captivity : 14 - 15 although one white wolf in captivity was known to lived until they were 17

wild : much lees because of the dangers they face!

Hope I helped

In the wild they live to about 6-8, in captivity, they can live up to 18.
10 -17 years, depending on environment.
In the wild, they live around 7 years, and in captivity they can live as long as 15.
Wolves can live for 6-12 years in the wild but I've heard wolves living up to 15 years.

In zoos a wolf can live to be up to 16 years old. In the wild it can be up to 13 years or maybe more. But the wolf usually lives to be around 8 and then it dies. The record wolf lifespan is about 20 years of age. The reason the wolf dies at eight is probably because life is really hard in the wild. Another reason might be because of all the poison in its blood from the food it eats or from traps and the wounds it gets from them. In captivity the wolf gets to be older because they are safe from the outside dangers of traps, snares, enemies and poisons.
