Wolves

This is far-fetched. It's much more likely that a wolf would eat a baby. Almost all the claims of feral children being raised by wolves are hoaxes. I suppose a mammal having lost its own baby might raise a baby of another mammal species. This has been known to happen. But the incompatibilities of a human baby and a wolf mother are just too great. The baby would be eaten by the wolves in the pack.

People in America hunted wolves because they were killing their cattle and sheep, and breaking fences. Therefore, when they saw a wolf, they shot it. Many Americans came to hate wolves and would kill a wolf even if it wasn't presently doing anything wrong.They have been reintroduced to protected areas like Yellowstone National Park.

No, wolves and honey badgers do not live on the same continent.

A grey wolf is a carnivore

People think that wolves are harmful to people. But the truth is that there is much more people who kill wolves. I don't think people should kill wolves because they don't like killing people and that they have to if people threatens them.

Yes they do turn white to blend in with their surroundings

It varies amongst breeds but generally wolves have one litter a year, six to a litter.
Wolves can have as many children as they want, but for one litter, it is usually four to six pups.
It depends on the specific breed of wolf but most species main have around 2-6 pups. Some can even have up to 9 but its very rare. Most commin number is 4 or 3.

Species: lupus (scientific name Canis lupus)

MODERN:

Domain: Eukaryota

Kingdom: Animalia

Phylum: Chordata

Class: Mammalia

Order: Carnivora

Genus: Canis

Species: lupus (scientific name Canis lupus)

The only predator of wolves are humans. I have killed my share of wolves, as their hides are quite expensive.

A gray wolf is a carnivore

They mostly eat each other, throw in some leaves and garden trash, maybe they can find some aphids or other small insects. Only the strong will survive.

Wolves generally have smallterritories in the forests of Minnesota or Ontario. Large territories are found where prey is less common, or where prey may migrate.

well first off they usually are in packs and unless somethin happens they are a lone wolf but as a pack a wolf will usually be gray brown or black but sometimes they are different colors but they have a particularly fluffy tail and have yellow or green eyes but are seen mostly at night near woods or livestock sometimes

The wolf is a carnivore that depends on its canine teeth to puncture flesh and its molars to crush bone.

Wolves can grow up to 3 feet tall and 58 inches long including tail but you never know, there might be other larger wolves that can grow as long as 65 inches and 4 feet tall but my research mostly says 58 inches long.

The Arabian Wolf, genus Canus lupus arabs, has larger ears than most other wolves which is thought to allow for more water dispersion which leads to better survival in the desert. Rather than travel in packs they instead hunt in pairs and are not known to howl. They have longer hair than most other wolves and keep this long hair even in the summer which is thought to protect against solar radiation.

no because they are just different colors

In the Canadian Rockies, a wolf is a carnivore that consumes other animals, such as deer and elk. It can range for thousands of kilometers and is considered a top-level predator.

At the very beginning of the book Sher Khan (the tiger) attacks a party of workers at night. In the confusion Mowgli wanders into the wolf den of Demon (the she wolf) who has just given birth and is generously disposed to any infant. Sher Khan shows up demanding the man-child but the entrance to the it too tight for him and he won't squeeze in with Demon snarling at him.

A wolf can gorge itself on as much as 20 pounds of meat in one sitting. It displays a feast/famine behavior and may not need to eat for some time after doing so.

Yes, this is possible. The resulting offspring are known as hybrids and can be very difficult to own due to their wild and destructive nature. Owning a hybrid is also illegal in many countries. (I have had experience with wolf hybrids and know that they really do not make good pets).

Social Behavior

African wild dogs are highly social carnivores that live in packs. The difference in the degree of sociality in wild dogs and wolves appears to be reflected in resting patterns. The extremely social nature of wild dogs is reflected in the maintenance of physical contact or relatively short inter-individual distances while resting. Unlike wolves, they typically disperse in groups. Lone dogs and peripheral pack members are rare. Compared to wolves, aggression is generally muted. Cooperation is the key to survival and reproduction.

Pack formation in wild dogs is a social process that usually involves more than two individuals. Although the formation of new packs affects both individual fitness and population dynamics, and therefore is highly relevant to the conservation of this endangered species, little is known about the process of formation itself in the wild and the proximate mechanisms that influence outcomes.

Typically same-sex relatives emigrate and join opposite-sex groups. Our observations in the field suggest that group compatibility can influence whether stable reproductive units form. When opposite-sex groups join, they undergo what has been termed a "trial courtship" that may or may not result in the formation of a stable reproductive unit. If a new pack does not stay together, it annuls. Any given instance of pack annulment may be due to one or more causal factors that vary both temporally and regionally. An analysis of resting patterns suggests that spatial relationships mirror the relative strength of social bonds and thus the degree of social integration between females and males.

Reproduction

A pack consists of any group of wild dogs with a potentially reproductive pair. Packs are typically composed of related females, related males, and pups. If a pack contains more than two adults, the reproductive pair consists of the dominant male and female. Usually only the dominant pair breeds and subordinate members help care for pups. The breeding female selects a den site such as an abandon aardvark hole and contours the underground chamber prior to giving birth. The average litter size is about 8 pups. When pups are about three weeks old, they appear above ground pug-nosed with black and white hair, and small ears that readily develop to oversized proportions. Yellow markings begin to appear at four weeks. Babysitters keep an eye on them while other family members hunt and return to the den to regurgitate food. Pups are moved to different dens during the season. When pups are around 10-12 weeks old, packs resume their nomadic way of life. By the time the pups are about 4 months old, as shown here, they are already familiar with what is expected of them as members of the pack.

Hunting

Although wild dogs will hunt at night during certain phases of the moon, they are primarily crepuscular-resting during the day and hunting in the early morning and evening. They are one of Africa's most successful hunters, a fact that has been attributed largely to their high degree of cooperation. During chases, wild dogs can attain speeds up to 60 km/h and are well adapted to deal with the body heat generated. In more enclosed habitat, where wild dogs are more commonly found, packs tend to split into groups during hunts, with individuals taking down prey, and then leaving it to bring back other pack members to feed. Unlike African lions, pups are the first to eat. Spotted hyenas sometimes follow wild dogs on hunts and try to steal food. Prey preferences vary regionally.

Vocalizations

The African wild dog has been classifed among the most social of all canids. The study of vocal communication has lagged behind other scientific concerns in this socially complex carnivore. Its vocal repertoire is one of the most complex in Canidae, with some sounds unique to the species. The mixing of different sound types is also found in this species and is used to express ambivalence. Vocalizations provide a useful window on larger patterns of behavior, particularly among social canids. Short-range vocal communication accompanies many social interactions and appears to play an important role in intra- and interpack dynamics, and in forming and maintaining social bonds between pack members. Depending upon the motivational state and level of arousal of pack members, sounds issued by individuals can give rise to cascading group effects.

Preceding a hunt, pack members often rally in a greeting ceremony. The onset of the greeting ceremony is frequently initiated by a single dog running up to another one with head shoulder height, mouth agape, and ears folded back. Muzzle-to-muzzle contact is an important feature of the ceremony. Such contact, including lip licking and biting, appears to be a symbolic solicitation for food. Greeting behavior in adults might have developed from infantile begging. During the ceremony many different kinds of sounds can be heard including whines, whimpers, squeals, and high-pitched bird-like sounds called "twitters."

Wild dogs hunt primarily in the early morning or at dusk. When filtering through bush in search of prey, pack members frequently become separated and sometimes call to reunite. Long distance contact calls are common in canids and assume the form of either pulsed trains or long acoustic streams. Wild dogs issue the former kind of call. These sounds known as "hoos" are low-pitched and short, and given in bouts of varying length and intensity. They are delivered with the head held slightly lower than the shoulders, a gaping mouth, and often on the run. In contrast, wolves howl. These latter sounds are issued in long acoustic streams by lifting the muzzle while stationary.

i would say 2 years because that is they age when most wolves go out and find a mate but i could be wrong

no

As can be found in some dictionaries, according to a certain geometry book, a wolf pack is two wolves, or a wolf pack plus a wolf. This is confusing, but it means that a wolf pack can have any number greater than one of wolves.
