Wolves
A carnivore related to the jackal and domestic dog, two species of wolves are recognized. One is C. lupus, the gray or timber wolf, which was once widely distributed in North America, Europe, and Asia. The other is Canis lupus rufus, the red wolf, which now only occurs in northeastern North Carolina and on St. Vincent's Island off the Gulf Coast of Florida.

How do wolves feed their babies?
They bring meat to their pups na regurgitate it for them and teach them to eat it. if the pup tries to get milk the mother will snap at them to teach them. if the pup wont eat the adults of the pack will demonstrate until the pups get it.
Are the red Wolf and gray Wolf in the same species?
Actually the Red wolf has been reclassified as of 2005 as a Canis lupus rufus, meaning that it is actually a subspecies of the Grey wolf. Therefore, the Red wolf and the Grey wolf are part of the same species. However, in the Genomic Research, the Red wolves are also said to have varying degrees of coyotes in their DNA. In fact, given that the Grey wolves have hybridized with coyotes in the eastern regions of North America for hundreds of years, the Red wolves can also be considered to be technically a coyote with a small percentage of Grey wolf in them (24% Grey wolf) thus making them a hybrid species called the Coywolf. So whether they should continue to be listed as a subspecies of the Grey wolf or as simply a hybrid species is still on a massive debate by different researchers.
Further up north in Ontario, the Eastern wolves, known as the "Canis lupus lycaon" were also once listed as simply Canis lycaon because like the Red wolves they were also thought to be distinct species of wolves. However, recent evidence from DNA analysis has confirmed that the Eastern wolves are in fact 58% Grey wolf and 42% coyotes making them Coywolves much like the Red wolves.
Wolves have no natural predators. Black bears may kill a wolf if it is threatening the bear's cubs or it threatens the bear itself, and then eat it if it is very hungry. A large caribou or moose may kill a wolf with its hooves when the wolf tries to kill it, but no animal will kill a wolf with the intentions of eating it.

How did gray wolves become endangered?
Man hates the grey wolf. The gray wolf is one of the few animal's that has been hunted near extinction, by the 1930's few wolves remained. They have been hunted for a variety of reasons, from protecting live stock, to clearing the forests of a competitive predator for prey animals.
Only a couple of isolated populations of the gray wolf are endangered, the Mexican, and Ethiopian. As a species, the gray wolf is listed as Least Concern by the IUCN.
IT is ENDANGERED BECAUSE it is turned into stuffed wolf dolls for little kids
Wolves have always been persecuted by humans, and many subspecies have been hunted to the brink of extinction. Wolves competed with early humans for prey, and sometimes kill livestock, which leads to conflicts.
Well I think it is because people kill them for their fur.
Grey wolves are not considered endangerd in a over all status. They are actually one of the most common wolves. They are nick named the common wolf. Though many other wolves are. Mostly this is do to human invasion.
The gray wolf is not as endangered as it was in 1974 because their were only 500 wolves. Now is there is about 5,773 wolves. The gray wolf is not considered endangered anymore.
Because some stupid humans decided that wolves were bad somewhere back in Europe before Columbus. So they would go out and kill wolves. When Western Civilazation began, the people there had also brought along those myths of wolves, so they killed them there too. Later on, the grey wolf was put on the Endangered Species List, and were protected. But now, people in states such as Alaska, Utah, Idaho, and Montana shoot wolves, gas pups in dens, sterilize alphas, poison wolves, and skin them. I hope that any one reading this will help stop the slaughter!
Yes, it is critically endangered

Who is more dangerous bear or wolf?
If I understand you question, the coyote is far more dangerous than wolves due to the fact that they lack shyness around humans. Wolves are actually safer than a dog mainly due to their shyness around people. In fact, wolf attacks are extremely rare and there have been no recorded fatal attacks in the past 150 years. Though recently there have been two fatal attacks in the past. One was a hiker (they think it could also be a bear) and a teacher from who moved to alaska.
The only reason wolves would attack you is if they either have rabies or your harassing them. Coyotes on the other hand are practically death machines.
Wolves are not dogs their mistaken as dogs.
Years ago there used to be just wolves for the canine family, but as things started to change so did the wolf. The changes would make them change differently, causing to stay on the same family tree but separate onto different branches.
Wolves are NOT herbivores and do NOT eat any important amount of plants

the same way baby humans get out of female women
What happens when the alpha wolf of a pack dies?
It's likely that they do. They are social animals and would probably feel some sort or form of grief when one of their own, be it a leader or someone lower on the pecking order, dies.
The speed can reach up to about 60 km/h (37~ mph)when in a chase.

Where do humans fit in the foodchain?
If humans were at the bottom of the food chain (if we assume that we did not replace the sun as the main energy source of the planet) then we would need to get our energy entirely from photosynthesis, meaning our cells would be full of chloroplasts, and our skin would be green. We would be eaten by everything from caterpillars to small herbivores.
