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 many teeth does a gray wolf have?
An adult wolf has 42 teeth in total. Four canines, which he uses to wound, grab and kill its prey, while the back teeth are used to crush bones and chew big chunks of meat into smaller pieces. The small front teeth are used to pull the skin.
What are the natural predators of whiting?
Humans, wolves, and mountain lions are predators of the white-tailed deer.
What is the difference between a gray wolf and a red wolf?
Grey wolves are larger with thicker fur and live more north than the red wolves. Red wolves can be found more south, like the deserts of Texas or Mexico, and Grey wolves live in Canada, Alaska, and all of the northwestern states although some can also be found in Mexico. They are of Eurasian origin and can also be found in Africa.
Red wolves are actually hybrids between Grey wolves and coyotes. There used to be three different populations of these hybrids, one in Florida which was a cross between the extinct Florida Black wolves and an earlier great plains coyote population, one in the Mississippi Valley which was a cross between the Mississippi wolves and the great plains coyotes and the last one alive today is a captive population that originated from a remnant extracted from Texas who may be hybrids between the extinct Texas Grey wolf and the southern Texas coyotes. Today, they have been reintroduced into North Carolina. It's also possible that some of the so-called Red wolves from Texas may also have Mexican Grey wolves in them since that population has also mixed with coyotes when they were nearly driven to extinction.
All of the other ones have since backcrossed extensively with coyotes as the pure Grey wolves slowly died out in the east from persecutions. In Canada, the Eastern wolf is another Grey wolf/coyote hybrid population that is closely related to the Red wolves in which they also have much coyote influences and is intermediate in size between the Grey wolves and coyotes.
What do the ears of wolves do?
Wolves do not have good eyesight. When searching for prey, wolves can use their ears to hear an animal a mile away! The ears of a wolf may also be used to hear other wolves howling a long distance...
How do wolves camouflage themselves?
If your talking about Yellow Stone wolves then their pelts are pretty musch the same color as the snow. They don't use as much camo as team work when they are hunting, though. The ones in Europe also match their surroundings pretty well.

How many offspring does a wolf-dog have?
Wolves have an average of 6 pups, but have been known to have up to 14.
the average wolf litter is about 5 cubs
2 - 8, but average is 3-6.
If you mean how many babies, they get 2 - 6 babies and one fact more is that the survival rate of the babies is half the litter.
Usually a female wolf will give birth to aroung 4-5 pups in a litter.
Female wolves have litters of one to eleven pups in a lair that may be a cave, a hollow tree trunk, a thicket, or a hole in the ground. The pups normally stay with the parents until the following winter but may remain much longer and become a pack, establishing and defending a territory marked by urine and feces.
How dogs may have originally been domesticated?
Dog was the earliest animal to be domesticated and we have concrete evidence for this from at least around 14,000 years ago, at the end of the earliest stage of the stone age. As to whether these animals could have been described as pets is another issue. It is likely they were primarily kept as working animals, assisting with hunting. By the middle stone age, or Mesolithic there is evidence that dogs had a special status in society, indicated by their burial in human cemeteries (as seen at Skateholm in Sweden).
Instincts for the gray wolf are when it is hungry to hunt and fall completely to it's instincts!
Like most canines on our planet, wolves use their head and or upper jaw to take down prey.wolvesstalk the prey and when the prey come into the right area or view they run and slide their teeth into the muscle around the preys neck,if the wolf is in a pack they hunt around the same as a lone.A pack split up and attack together forcing their weight to the organism and suffocate it.
Wolf work in packs it is highly uncommon to see a wolf by itself. They use their teth to wound their prey then it gets weary and soon dies,a meal for 4 wolf
No, wolves are not solitary. The normally live in a pack; four to seven in one. If a wolf is solitary, it has most likely left the pack in search of a mate to start his/ her own family. Wolves work well in a pack, so a solitary wolf may have trouble finding food.
Wolves live in packs which are extended family groups led by an alpha male and alpha female. There are lone wolves which are wolves that have left there pack to find another or to start their own.
In a wolf pack what does a beta do?
The Beta is sort of like a second-in-command or a deputy. There is rarely two betas, often it is just one Beta. The Beta has the job of keeping the pack in order while the Alphas aren't around. When the Alphas return, they are no longer able to order around the pack. Hope this helped! ~Shadow Wolf

No, no real wolf breeder would sell them, because they wouldn't want to endanger the very endangered Mexican wolf species. If someone is trying to sell you a Mexican wolf, they're trying to rip you off.
How far might a wolf travel in one day?
It depends a good deal on both the type of wolf and the terrain (in rugged terrain, they tend to have a more compact territory). They can have a home range from 33 to 6,200 km² (depending on the type of wolf and where they reside). On average it is about 35 km². If the boundary of the area was a perfect circle that would translate to at least 21 km to traverse the circumference of the area. It is estimated that about 50% of the territory of a wolf pack is covered daily. Most of the 50% will be in the core of the area. If that central area were circumscribed by a circle, the circumference would be around 15 km. Of course they would travel back and forth across the area, not just roam around the edges, sot the total distance would be greater - probably at least twice the circumference. With all that said an estimate of 30-40 km daily is probably a reasonable estimate for a generic "wolf".

All life on earth is adapted to a day/night cycle. Further, all life on earth is ultimately dependent on plant life, and plant life is dependent on sunlight. Were no sunlight to reach earth due to thick ash clouds or something else obscuring sunlight, plants would die, herbivores would die and finally carnivores would die. There would be no food for humans to survive on, except for fungi which are not dependent on light.
