How do you calculate a wolf's age in wolf years?
You can calculate a wolf similar to a dogs years. Because dogs are taken care of by humans and kept away from danger- for the most part- they live longer then the average wolf.
Humans live to an average of 75 years or so (males-73, females- 80) dogs live 7 years for every human year. So a 70 year old person is like a 10 year old dog. Wolves are closer to 9 years for every human year so a 70 year old person is like a 7-8 year old wolf.

How does a wolf get its nutrition?
It all depends. Wolf packs with a greater concentration of males are built with muscle - adapted to hunt larger game like bison. They're stocky, well-muscled, and persistent. They rely on brute strength in order to bring down their prey. Wolf packs with a greater concentration of females, however, are built for speed - adapted to hunt "smaller" or more medium sized game like elk, hares, etc. They're fast, agile, and strategic. They chase they're prey until it becomes tired, giving them an opportunity to strike and bring down the animal with ease. Once they've gotten their meal, they will eat according to hierarchy. This applies to both types.

What animals eat the gray wolf?
Golden eagles have been known to kill lone wolves.
As pups, any carnivore is a threat. Foxes, coyotes, large birds, bears, they all want a piece of wolf pup.
As adults, however, not very many animals mess with them. Depending on the wolves location they may find a compititon or two, but there is rarely any documentations of any animal attacking a whole pack. Lone wolves might find themselves the targets of starving coyotes, grizzlies, cougars and loose dogs. However, these animals rarely actually eat the wolf once they kill it.
Scavengers like foxes, coyotes, jackals, starving hares, and some birds might eat a dead wolf if they encounter one.
OBJECTION. Golden Eagles, however big they may be, cannot take down a full grown wolf, alone or not. Pups, definitely. Lone wolves can be killed by all of the above, except coyotes. Coyotes are much smaller, and don't live in packs. So therefore, coyotes got nothing on wolves. XD
