How were other animals affected by the disappearance of the grey wolf?
For one. deer. Then the population of deer will go up and the level of grass will go down so everything eating or fueled by grass will die. That's a lot of animals!
Wolves are probably better described as "non-obligate carnivores". They eat primarily meat, but will occasionally consume vegetable matter. They eat meat to survive but wolves eat grass to cure stomach aches and help with digestion

What is the solution to making red wolves not endangered?
Wolves, like most endangered species, suffer from loss of habitat because people are cutting down forests to make room for farms, housing developments, cattle ranches etc. If more land could be set aside as a nature preserve, then fewer species would be endangered. Whether this is an economically realistic plan, is another question.

How do you know which gray wolf is the alpha?
you probably can tell by which wolf is leading the pack or which one gets to eat before anyine else (depending on if ur watching them eat or not)
NO! They don't eat their own kind. They eat sick or old elk, deer, and other animals. They actually help the environment by getting rid of the sick and old animals. They can also be scavengers and feed off of carcasses. They aren't cannibals. :)
INCORRECT. The guy who made the first answer is wrong, no offense to him. Wolves have and do commit cannibalism, it isn't really uncommon. Wolves cannibalize pack mates after they are killed by other wolves or die for other reasons, there has been a record of 6 month-old cubs eating their parents after being killed in a fight.
So yes wolves ARE cannibals.
INCORRECT. Although a starving pack MAY resort to cannibalism, wolves rarely feed on other wolves, ESPECIALLY, their deceased family members. If you have proof, please show us a link, because I doubt such a grisly and unnecessary thing would take place between pups and parents. In conclusion, even if wolves DO resort to cannibalism once in a while, that does NOT make them cannibals. No offense.
No, they only eat sick or injured animals like elk and deer. They help the environment by taking away these animals that are suffering.
What is the climate and condition of the red wolf's habitat?
The red wolf became extinct in the wild in 1980. Recently, a population of 100 red wolves has been reintroduced to North Carolina. The climate here is temperate broadleaf forest, which is a somewhat rainy climate, with a distinct dry season. Here trees such scub oak, and longleaf pine make up most of the forest.
The red wolf was re-introduced to eastern North Carolina in 1987. Today, around 110 roam the forests of the Alligator River Refuge in Dare and Hyde counties.

Do wolves have vestigial organs?
Yes, like all animals, wolves do have some vestigial organs. One good example is the dew claw.
yes but they usually don't do this generally- they do attack other wolves if they don't eat them (that's not a usual act either)
Yes, if the pack of wolves are in a harsh winter of extreme conditions and they are growing hungry, they will usually attack old and weak wolves and devour their corpses. And sometimes, if they haven't got enough food to go around, they kill their cubs, as there are less mouths to feed.
