How much time can a gray wolf live?

Wolves in the wild have an average lifespan of only 6-8 years old, while wolves in wildlife parks, preserves, and private enclosures may live up to 20 years or older. The oldest recorded wild wolf lived to be 16 years old. In the wild, nature's harsh conditions have a very large role in shortening the lifespan of a wolf. Wild wolves are often injured, most frequently while hunting, when prey with strong legs may kick and severely or even fatally injure a wolf. Sickness and disease, such as rabies and mange, also play a role in the shortening of a wolf's life. Wolves watched over and cared for by humans have one major advantage over those in the wild: accessibility to medical attention. The wolves in sanctuaries and enclosures are fed regular, guaranteed meals, and, because of this, are not at risk of being injured by their prey or starving to death. In conclusion, wolves attended to and monitored by humans do not share the hardships of their wild brothers, and are therefore more likely to live longer lives.
