How do wolves survive in the winter?
wolves survive the winter by food. because wolves can eat 1 elk and go on for several weeks it helps them through the winter. Some of the Gray Wolves that have been returned to Yellowstone Park in the USA have become bison-specialists. ALL Wolves hunt in packs, so 1 elk will last a few DAYS, not weeks. 1 Buffalo (Bison) will last several days, also. But wolves travel and leave the carcass for scavengers, such as bears. The wolves are actually MORE SUCCESSFUL hunting in winter, because their prey has difficulty negotiating the deep snow.
How have wolfs adapted to survive the winter?
Wolves have adapted to survive the Winter by cooperating when hunting in packs. By picking out sick or injured animals from the herd to lessen the risk of being injured themselves from the kick or horns of a healthy grazing animal, such as the Bison, Moose, Elk, etc. They grow a denser fur as Winter approaches. They will also scavenge on the corpses of grazing animals that have succumbed to starvation, sickness or injury.
What adaptation best helps elks survive in the taiga biome?
There are several adaptations that help the elk survive in the taiga biome.One adaptation is that elk shed their fur/hair twice a year. This way they have a cooler coat in the summer and a warmer coat in the winter. Their hair sheds rain and helps keep the elk dry. The elk's hair is hollow which provides insulation from the wind and cold.Another important adaptation is the elk's antlers. Antlers serve as a defensive mechanism.Elk's hooves are also an important adaptation. The design of the hooves allows the elk to walk long distances on the wide variety of terrain that is found in the taiga biome. The hooves also allow the elk to paw through snow to get at the grass below. Since female elk do not have antlers, they use their hooves for defense.The elk's digestive system is also an important adaptation. Their four stomachs allow the elk to digest the various types of food the elk eats. The elk's teeth are also adapted for biting off tree leaves and mashing them into thin fibers.
