Do timber wolves live in Minnesota?

Answer 1

Among the lower 48 states, Minnesota is unique because it supports a large number of timber wolves. A full grown timber wolf weighs from 70 to 100 pounds. Powerfully built with steel-strong jaws, muscular legs, and large feet, the wolf is an efficient predator. A typical Minnesota wolf is mixed gray in color with yellowish sides and darker gray on the back. However, individuals vary from almost solid black to buff-white. Timber wolves do not breed until two or three years of age. Pups are born usually in late April or early May, and number from four to eight per litter. The wolf den may be situated in a rock crevice or in a hole dug out from under the projecting roots of a tree. The wolf pack is a family group consisting of a pair of breeding adults and their young of one or more years. Only one female in a pack breeds each year, generally in February. After a nine-week gestation, an average of six pups are born in an underground den, which is often used for several years. In early summer, the pups are moved to open areas or "rendezvous sites," where the pack congregates. By fall, they are large enough to hunt with the pack. Young wolves may leave the pack when they become sexually mature in their second winter. They then attempt to find a mate, and may form a pack in an area not yet used by other packs. Individual packs defend territories of 50 to 120 square miles (usually not more than one wolf per 10 square miles), and the members of the pack usually restrict their hunting and feeding activities to that area. Most wolf packs in Minnesota contain five to eight individuals, although as many as a dozen may rarely be present. In Minnesota, wolves eat a variety of large and small animals, but white-tailed deer make up about 80 percent of their diet. Beaver are often taken in the spring and summer, while deer, and a few moose, are taken more frequently in winter. In areas of mixed farms and forest, domestic livestock are sometimes preyed upon. However, wolves prefer the large, extensive forest areas of northern Minnesota.
