Although individual wolves may wander into the state on occasion, there are no reproducing populations of wolves.

Biologists also have no scientific evidence that there is a reproducing population of mountain lions or cougars, though one was tracked from Colorado through western Kansas.

Yes, but for females it is harder to become alphas than males because they either have to mate with the alpha male or fight which means that she has to be even stronger than normal because male wolves are generally stronger than females. Though females are faster.

Yes, there is such thing as an Alpha female. She becomes an alpha when 2 male wolves fight for her love. The winner gets to mate with the female, and they become the alpha pair. (Or Alpha's) Just a version of my answer :)

What are the dire wolves predators?

A dire wolf is a wolf that lived quite some time ago. There was nothing too special about it, but it no longer exists.

Another possible animal you may be talking about is the fantasy, Dire wolf. That wolf is commonly mentioned in D&D as well as many other games and books. This fantasy Dire wolf is nothing like the actual dire wolf, besides its wolfness. The actual dire wolf was not a spawn of evil or some huge wolf ridden by goblins. The real thing was just a big wolf.

it was a wolf that was to the normal wolf what the tiger is to the lion bigger stronger faster lonlier. The Dire wolf was about as tall as the smallest gray wolf today is (just a little over 24inches at the shoulder). The thing is, they were really heavy, but the average gray wolf alive today towers over it.

There is only one subspecies of red wolf (the others are extinct), but there are many subspecies of gray wolves. Of these, some are the arctic wolf, the Mexican gray wolf, and the Mackenzie Valley wolf.

What are the male and female wolves called?

The male wolf is called a Brute, while the female is called a Fae. :)

---

Actually, 'brute' and 'fae' are slangy terms used by people who role-play wolves and think that's the actual word for the two genders. If they've ever checked the dictionary, a 'brute' means beast, animal, or beastly. No where is it mentioned that 'brute' means 'male wolf'. A 'fae' is a fuel-air explosive. A bomb. I was never aware that female wolves were called bombs.

The REAL terms for the two genders are she-wolf and bitch for female wolves. For male wolves, and male wolves are referred to as just wolves - like male and female. Wolf and she-wolf.
