Wolves are carnivores (meaning they eat meat). A wolves diet includes bison, ox, hare, caribou, deer, and many other large and small animals.
caribou
Wolves hunt deer, elk and moose, but they also commonly hunt rabbits and can eat mice. Starving wolves will eat berries, plants, and rotting wood!

It depends on the age of the wolf. When they are adults, hardly any animal -unless injured or rabid- will attempt an attack on a wolf pack. Only humans and dogs would try. But as pups, wolves find themselves to be targeted by bears, large birds, other wolves, coyotes, foxes, badgers, and pretty much any carnivore that can catch a pup by itself.
Wolves don't have a certain predator that hunts them, (except for humans) but wolf pups are at risk of being killed by mountain lions and other animals.
They have no natural predators. Their only foe is the human race.
Like a predator that hunts wolves? Humans,of course!>:(
The truth the wolf only has one preditor and that's us.

Humans are the wolves only preditor.
Wolves really don't have any natural predators, as they work in packs and are fairly unlikely to be attacked by something larger. Bears and big cats could be threats to them, though, if they ever got into a fight-----and of course humans are threats, as we will hunt them and destroy their habitats. Usually, wolves will try to stay away from areas where there are other predators. They have good senses of smell and try to avoid those places.
The wolves don't have any predators that hunt them except man, we have hunted and killed these canines for hundreds of years. On the contrary though wolves do have competition for food depending on what species of wolves you have trying to find out about and where they are located. the most common are the bears, cougars and of course ourselves.

It would depend where the wolves are - If they were somewhere like Yellowstone National Park, they would hunt elk and pronghorn deer, lone wolves usually go for small things such a birds and rats, or rabbits. But generally, a wolf and its pack would tackle anything edible, and is easy to catch - whatever's available!

Wolves eat a variety of animals: Cows, Horses, Musk Ox, Caribou, Moose, Elk, Rabbits, Coyotes, sometimes foxes- and more. Sometimes they might eat a little vegetation to calm belly-aches, as do several dogs and cats.
Large hoofed animals, usually deer.
Their preferred prey is large antelope like elk, caribou and moose; but hey will also eat small game like rabbits if larger prey is not available.

Although wolves primarily feed on medium to large sized ungulates, they are not fussy eaters. Smaller sized animals that may supplement the diet of wolves include marmots, hares, badgers, foxes, weasels, ground squirrels, mice, hamsters, voles and other rodents, as well as insectivores. They frequently eat waterfowl and their eggs. Wolves supplement their diet with fruit and vegetable matter. They willingly eat the berries of mountain ash, lily of the valley, bilberries, blueberries and cowberry. Other fruits include nightshade, apples and Pears. They readily visit melon fields during the summer months. So, wolves are omnivores.
