Gray wolves live longer in captivity. Why? Because they are always fed, given baths, and are able to reproduce. The wild is a bit harsh, they can get killed, won't get enough food or get diseases or infections that may kill them. Sometimes they live longer in the wild, depending on the wolf and the pack. Ihope this helped! -IQ
