The primary method the gray wolf uses to protect itself relies on its senses. It can smell, hear and see things that could pose a problem, and it avoids them. And as the animals live in a pack, the pack as a whole is on the alert for any sign of bears, mountain lions or any other critters that could injure it. Wolves will simply move off in a direction that puts some distance between them and any threats. And this is the primary way they protect themselves.

In an "up-close-and-personal" way, the wolf will warn off threats by baring its teeth, by growling and by raising its hackles. It has a thick coat, those marvelously effective canine teeth, and its paws and claws to help it survive. Couple this hardware to the finely tuned senses and its practiced habits, and you have a predator that is built to go the distance and eke out a living even in lean or hard time
A gray wolf protects itself by hunting in packs and ganging up on any attacker or pry.
