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.

It depends on the species. Usually wolves in Canada are stronger, and can rip your face off....
Norse mythology had something similiar. The word "Berserker" originally referred to Legendary Scandinavian warriors, whose frenzy in battle transformed him into a wolf or bear. The word itself is derived from Ber or "Bear" & Serkr or "Shirt".
Some postulate that this may have contributed to the legends of "Werewolves".
There were also Ulfhednars, whose name means Wolf Hide. They also could be called Ulfsarks.
Coyotes live in nearly every biome - desert, grassland, taiga, deciduous forest and even in urban areas.
What is the Latin name of a gray wolf and German shepherd?
Canis Lupus
This is canis lupus. Domestic dogs are a subspecies, canis lupus familiaris.
Canis lupus
Yes because they are bigger and better.
There is no real 'better' to speak of without listing something they are better in. A wolf may be better at howling, but a fox may be better at digging. Generally speaking, neither is better than the other.
By what name is the timber wolf also known?
The timber wolf is known as lobo wolf, gray wolf,or artic wolf. All the same animal.
the timber wolf's scientific name is Canis Lupis Americanus
The Battletech Timber Wolf (as it is named amongst the Inner Sphere) is referred to a Mad Cat amongst the invading clans.
How does a wolf become dominant?
Usually, this never happens. The Alpha wolf never mates with an omega because omegas are considered as the lowly wolves; they never get along. Unless you're talking about the movie, of course :)
True, an alpha wolf will never mate with an omega wolf. However, there are cases where omega wolves rose to the rank of alpha wolves or left their pack and form their own, making them new alpha wolves. So yeah, an omega wolf will eventually mate an alpha wolf IF it's determine to be an alpha wolf
Actually, a male alpha wolf will mate with all females of the pack. This ensures that only the strongest male of a pack has offspring.
They hunt in packs. I don't know exactly how many are in each pack, but they hunt and live in packs!
Answer
A lion would easily kill a wolf, they are much more powerful and they have much more muscle and stronger, maybe if it was a lion vs a pack of them then maybe the wolf would win but one on one the wolf wouldn't stand a chance.
What is a Latin name for a wolf?
We find that vulpes is the Latin for fox if we need to go look it up.
Every animal that belongs to Canidae family, or, in other words, has a Canis genome. Animals like foxes do belong to Canidae family, but have a Vulpus genome, so they are not classified as wolves.
How much does a wolf weigh fully grown?
The average wolf is 80 pounds for U.S and Canada, and a European wolf is 85 pounds. Although they can get up to 100, it depends on food source. 110 is a good prize for hunters already, and a few were shocked they had gotten a 176 pound wolf. That was the biggest wolf in the world. By the way- I do not support hunting, that was just the best way I could explain it.

Why shouldn't wolves be protected?
Wolves need to be protected for many reasons. First and foremost, they are one of the most beautiful and majestic creatures on this planet. They are so misunderstood, though. We grew up with fairy tales like "Little Red Riding Hood," and "The Three Little Pigs" that we are conditioned to believe that wolves are bad and vicious. Both of which are incorrect. Wolves are highly intelligent and very loyal to their pack and their mate. They are able to bring down prey that is much larger than they are by working as a team. That is a character trait that humans need to take a lesson on. Exterminating the wolves will adversely affect our ecosystem. We need to be doing all that we can to save these beautiful creatures. Lots of people have dogs and love them very much. You wouldn't have your precious dog if it weren't for the wolf. If you are reading this, I urge you to google "wolf sanctuary" "wolf refuge" "wolf habitat" "wolf conservation/preservation" and read about these wonderful creatures. Look at the pictures of wolves and humans interacting. Look into the eyes of a wolf, and you will know why wolves need to be protected. Their soul shines through their eyes. It is undeniable. Visit a sanctuary, donate your time and/or money. It will be one of the best things you can ever do.

Actually wolves live in Alberta and Saskatwan too

Many things!
They can use their superb sense of smell to track prey.
They can run for hours on end, hunting prey.
They can catch beasts as big as bison
They can eat up to their own body weight in food
They can cooperate with crows to find food (crows see prey from above, wait for wolf to kill it, then eats leftovers)
Wolves can do a lot. Just look it up.
You shouldn't leave out that they are just plain awesome! If I were you, I wouldn't listen to all those stupid fairy tales about wolves being bad, They can do all sorts of amazing things that humans can't do!
Yes. In Europe, they are the most commonly killed livestock, while in America, it is cattle.
In April of 2010, near Dillon Montana, two male wolves killed, or mortally injured 200 head of domestic sheep! In September of 2010 near the Twin Lakes a pack of wolves attacked an outfitter's last pack mule,in broad daylight! Recently, a woman in Idaho narrowly escaped four wolves in her driveway!

Newborn puppies learn in their own time. Some dont learn until an old age, but some are intelligent and learn extremely young. It just takes time, and besides, barking is annoying. So, try not to make them learn too early xD
Will wolves really attack you if you get near them?
Not likely, Wolves are afraid of you and more likely to run away but if you make them stressed or they are hungry, they are more likely to attack you if you go near one. (There is a sign that a wolf will do so you know to back off or go more nearer) The sign of a wolf: if a wolf is uncomfortable it will have it's ears back. But if a wolf doesn't mind you going near it may just stand their wondering what your doing but if a wolf that you have more chance, the sign of a wolf that is friendly is a wolf having to wag it's tail looking at you.

well they do not know that there puppies died like my dog she was having her puppy and it was trying to get some air but it could not get some air so it died then it came out it was dead and my dog thought it was alive and she was trying to feed. i cried it felt sad so your answer is they try to take care of it.
Most use quality ingredients that are safe for human consumption. The flavor is tested by human tasters. The ingredients are tested for contamination before they are used, then the food is tested again after it is made and packaged.
Wolves raise their young by first eating for themselves then storing what they can for their pups. when they get back to the den the throw up the extra food they've stored and give it to their pups
They raise them in a den for the first few weeks then they start to let the pups leave and then they leave the den and join the rest of the pack outside. While they are young They drink milk From their mother and after around five weeks they start to eat meat.
