Best Answer

When in danger, wolves use some of the following tactics to "protect" themselves and/or avoid conflict with other wolves, species, etc.:

1. Body Language: Tail level, bristling of fur, wrinkling of lips, flattened ears, etc. Various combinations of these used to warn and/or show emotions of fear, anger, agitation, and much more.

2. Physically Defending: Basically meaning fighting back. This is usually a "last resort" and rarely ever results in death. Despite said fact, these brawls are brutal and serious injuries can occur.

Is a pack of wolves stronger than a moose?

I really don't understand what you're trying to ask here. A pack of wolves being "stronger" than a moose? What are you trying to get at here? Are you going in terms of strength or are you referring to something else? Of course a whole pack of "wolves" if these wolves are replaced by a dog-sled team of the same size and strength as a wolf are going to be stronger than a single moose. But, a pack of wolves nor is a moose going to go into a strength competition. It's more about wit and knowledge of how to hunt versus how to be on the defense. A pack of wolves are capable of running an adult moose down to exhaustion, but not when it has its back to a mess of brambles.
