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.

Do timber wolves live in Minnesota?

Among the lower 48 states, Minnesota is unique because it supports a large number of timber wolves. A full grown timber wolf weighs from 70 to 100 pounds. Powerfully built with steel-strong jaws, muscular legs, and large feet, the wolf is an efficient predator. A typical Minnesota wolf is mixed gray in color with yellowish sides and darker gray on the back. However, individuals vary from almost solid black to buff-white. Timber wolves do not breed until two or three years of age. Pups are born usually in late April or early May, and number from four to eight per litter. The wolf den may be situated in a rock crevice or in a hole dug out from under the projecting roots of a tree. The wolf pack is a family group consisting of a pair of breeding adults and their young of one or more years. Only one female in a pack breeds each year, generally in February. After a nine-week gestation, an average of six pups are born in an underground den, which is often used for several years. In early summer, the pups are moved to open areas or "rendezvous sites," where the pack congregates. By fall, they are large enough to hunt with the pack. Young wolves may leave the pack when they become sexually mature in their second winter. They then attempt to find a mate, and may form a pack in an area not yet used by other packs. Individual packs defend territories of 50 to 120 square miles (usually not more than one wolf per 10 square miles), and the members of the pack usually restrict their hunting and feeding activities to that area. Most wolf packs in Minnesota contain five to eight individuals, although as many as a dozen may rarely be present. In Minnesota, wolves eat a variety of large and small animals, but white-tailed deer make up about 80 percent of their diet. Beaver are often taken in the spring and summer, while deer, and a few moose, are taken more frequently in winter. In areas of mixed farms and forest, domestic livestock are sometimes preyed upon. However, wolves prefer the large, extensive forest areas of northern Minnesota.

Timberwolves live mostly in the woods in Winter and in the mountains in Summer

Are you allowed to have pet hybrid wolves in the US?

Of course you can, though it is inadvisable (and arguably cruel) considering these animals need space and peace.

If you're asking whether it's legal then I suggest you consult the laws in your own county/city/state. They vary widely from place to place. In some states, it is strictly illegal to own/breed/buy/sell wolf hybrids. In some, the business is booming and there are no real laws concerning it. It all depends on where you are.

Why is the wolf's speed important to its survival?

Why are wolves so important?

In areas where there are elk, they force the elk to move around and to be on guard. This is good for vegetation, because without the fear of being eaten, elk will ravish one area before moving on. If they destroy much of the vegetation in an area (specifically the deciduous trees), they eliminate shade needed by fish in streams, make food source harder to find for beavers, which, without their dams, disrupts other stream life. Fewer or no wolves means more deer. More deer means more problems with deer within human settlements. Fewer wolves mean more human run-ins with mountain lions, since they will have little reason not to come down from the high country.
In hunting they tend to kill the weaker and sick members of the herds they hunt; leaving the stronger ones alive giving them a better chance to live and breed

How often do wolves have babies?

Wolves will breed as early as early as december and as late as may, but usually mate in late winter.

And whether you find it offensive or not, here is the way the mating works.

When they are both ready, the male wolf mounts the female by setting his chest and stomach on the female wolf's back and holding her by the waist with his front legs and thrusting his lower end against the female wolf's vagina (the same place where pups) until his semi-erect penis penetrates. As the wolf thrusts his penis in and out, it gets completely erect and goes deeper and deeper inside until the femal wolf's vagina contracts and they are locked together (tied) for 10 - 30 minutes. The male wolf ejaculates sperm into the female before and during the tie. The tie is to prevent too much sperm leackage so that the female will get pregnant. After the tie is finished the wolves seperate and the mating is finished.
