Wolves

Generally, mating occurs between January and April - the higher the latitude, the later it occurs.

Yes, Just like dogs they have claws but wolves use there claws for hunting or fighting.

It originates from southeast America

The steps have already been taken, and the red wolf now roams free in eastern North Carolina, around 100 of them. You can contact The Red Wolf Society.

American red wolves protect themselves by using different senses like hearing, smell, and sight to detect natural enemies. Red wolves also can travel in large groups called packs which can deter would-be predators from attacking them. If attacked by a larger animal, red wolves can defend themselves by using their sharp teeth or running away because it is a fast animal.

how tall is a full grown timber wolf 500000,000000000 hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah

Wolf pups are very cute! See related link..

No, the wolf is a breed of it's own and in the canine family.

All wolves go where their food source goes. So if a herd that they know about is headed towards somewhere, they will follow it in order to survive. It's common sense for most predators. So yes, a red would would migrate if food is scarce or if a herd is moving.

The gray wolves, Canis Lupus. They are also know as timber wolves. They are the largest wild canines being around 3 feet tall at the shoulder and between 3 to 5 feet from nose to tails. They weight between 40 to 176 pounds with the males being larger than females. See

While the timber wolf is the largest breed, there can be larger specimens in mixed breed wolves. I've seen one that was a mixture of timber wolve and something like 2 other breed s that stood at a 6' cyclone fence and was looking over the top with about a foot and a half. These are known as hybrid wolves.

Very few of them are left in the wild, most of them are in captivity so they can repopulate in hope that they will not become extint.

Ridiculously untrue, there are tens of THOUSANDS of Canadian grey wolves in Canada!

Wolves are the type of animal, which can adapt in almost any environment.

They already have been domesticated. That fluffy little poodle at home is actually a distant relative to wolves. Wolves are the ancestors to all modern dogs. Early man saw these fearsome beasts as companions, and slowly domesticated the friendliest wolves. Eventually, Wolves "evolved" into all of our 'Best Friends'. But then again, if you were wondering something along the lines of "Can I bring a wolf pup into my home, bottle-feed it, and when it grows up will it act as if it were a Labrador?" the answer is "No." Unfortunately, even if a wolf pup has been around humans its entire life, there's no changing the fact that it's still a wolf. And wolves aren't Labradors, they're wolves. A wolf is a wolf no matter what. (I sympathize with you though, for I am a great lover of wolves and I have dreamed of owning a wolf since I was 9.)

The wolf as a power animal symbolizes intelligence, cunning, communication, loyalty, friendliness, generosity, and compassion. The wolf was and still is considered by the Native Americans as the teacher that if followed will provide knowledge and guidance.

Wolves have more stamina than cheetahs. Even though cheetahs can run 70 miles an hour that's just for a short distance and the wolf can run 30 miles for a long period of time more than 20 miles.

Gamma is not an official title in ranking wolves.

Alpha is the pack leader, or pack leading pair (male and female) and typically the only two mating in the pack. (the rest often being children of the alpha's)

The beta wolf is second in command, the strongest next to the alpha and the one who would be most likely to take charge if the alpha died.

The omega wolf is the weakest of the pack, or the runt in a litter. Typically the weakest and least cared for the omega may not even be fed if there is a limited food supply and not enough to go around.

Beyond that any labels like gamma would be up to the individual observer to use, some wolf researchers may use the entire Greek alphabet (alpha, beta, gamma, delta, etc) simply to label every member in a pack but this is up to the individual researcher if they choose to give names, or attempt to recognize where every individual within the pack stands.

There is typically only the alpha pair, the beta second and the omega runt which are clear to observation; the rest of the pack falling somewhere in between with relatively equal status. You could in theory call all of those in between the beta and the omega: 'the gamma wolves'; but like I said, gamma hasn't really caught on as a regular part of the lexicon of wolf observation.

Large males can weigh over 160 pounds.

My Raistlin exceeded the scale at his Vet which was 180. The Vet estimated 185-190 lbs, and he was a full grown adult approximately 4 years old, lean (you see the outlines of his muscle on his body) and of course with long lanky legs. Beautiful and graceful at the same time and capable of outrunning the fastes track runner. His mother was about the same size, as I can remember. However, I did see one timber in North Carolina just a tad bit bigger, I don't know if this was normal. My Raistlin was normal size for a timber grey wolf.

The difference between a cats tongue and a dogs tongue is that a cats tongue is rough and looks like there is little teeth on the tongue. The dogs tongue is smoother than a cats and is most of the time longer than a cats tongue. Also a dogs tongue can be different colours. It seems to be said also that a dogs tongue can heel a wound.

Dreams are basically your brain doing some housekeeping, returning to thoughts and ideas that you didn't get done with during the day.

While it's possible to get some general sense out of them, like if you're concerned or nervous, the actual details haven't been proven to mean anything.

Commonly woods with thick undergrowth, but also wetland areas, meadows, tundra particularly in Labrador, and sometimes disturbed sites near human activity.

As all wolves do, they face the dangers of humans, but not as much as the other species and subspecies do. Since they can live so far north, they hardly every come within contact of human life. Althogh other dangers they face are the freezing temperatures, they are adapted to below freezing temperatures and are usually well guarded against such coldness. One of the major dangers, however, is the lack of food in the arctic.

"Wolves are usually born with deep blue eyes which lighten and then gradually fade into the adult eye color over the next six to ten weeks. A mature Wolf's eyes are often amber/brown or gold, but also commonly come in hues of brown, gray, yellow, and green. It is interesting to note that puppies are born with blue eyes, while mature Wolves do not retain blue as an eye color. Huskies often have blue eyes, and because of this people think there must be blue eyed Wolves as well, but this isn't true. If you see a Wolf with blue eyes then he or she is likely a Wolf-hybrid and not a full-blooded Wolf."

Every wolf in the pack helps take care of the pups. When the pack leaves to hunt the non-mating females produce milk. And the males compete to see who stays with the pups.
