How do alpha wolves behave?

Alpha wolves behave mostly like other wolves. They play, fight, hunt, all normal. But, one characteristic found in an alpha wolf can be a bit harsh, trying to get their pack to consecrate, or breaking up a fight. They would do anything to keep their pack under control. Sometimes, when a wolf is trying to bump up its rank, the alpha wolf would come along and made sure they stayed in their place!!

Does a wolf make a good pet?

Wolves are not dogs, have not traditionally been bred to have a purpose in society and have genetically retained their "wild" instincts. If raised from birth, a wolf can be a good pet, but must have a large area which it can consider it's territory. Because it is wild, extra attention must be given to its training and diet. Wolves have a "pack" mentality which can make it extremely loyal to the right owner or owners ( you do not need to own 5 or 6 ). Treating a Wolf as you would a dog could be a fatal mistake!

What domain is a wolf?

a wolf territory is a wolf packs home, it needs to be big and have hunting grounds. but they need to protect it
A wolf's territory is the land that they claim as what they own. In other words, they have scent markers that show the edge of the territory and tell othe wolves that they own it. If another wolf goes into that territory the are basically saying, "I don't respect your boundries and I am in your territory." In that case, the wolf that owns the territory has rights to attack the other wolf and show who is boss.

Is a fox in competition with a wolf?

No. Foxes are an entirely different species from wolves. Foxes belong to the Tribe Vulpini whereas the wolf belongs to the Tribe Canini. The wolf and the fox share the same family of Canidae, but that's as far up the family tree that they are related.

Foxes do not form packs like wolves, thus would rather work or hunt independently or with another partner. Foxes are often half the size that wolves are. Foxes hunt much smaller prey as well, and can only scavange carcasses of game that are larger than themselves that other large carnivores have brought down.

Do wolves live in groups?

Wolf's always remain in a group or "pack". Wolf's can actually suffer major trauma from being away from other wolf's for too long. That is why every wolf must either have a pack or "Mate" which is basically like a husband.

or... from Amari_Miller

Wolves live in groups of between two and twenty (averaging about six to eight) animals. These groups are called packs. Each pack of wolves maintains an area, called a territory, which belongs to it and which it defends from other wolves. Within this territory, the pack hunts, sleeps, plays, and raises pups. Territories range in size from 50 to 1,000 square miles, depending on how much prey is available. Packs also vary in size depending on what kind of prey is available. Wolf packs which hunt deer as a primary source of food will have fewer wolves than packs which hunt bison or moose. These large animals are harder to catch and kill, and can also feed more wolves once caught.

Why do they call the wolves a pack?

When wolves are together in a pack, they tend to do things the same, hunting sleeping etc. so they are always together that is why they are called a pack coz they are packed in, like chips is a packet.

When can a teenager live on his own in South Carolina?

This is not legal advice and should not be relied upon as such. Consult the specific laws for the state and county in which you reside for the rules that apply. In most states, any 18 year old is considered an adult and is capable of deciding when and where they reside. They have the ability to contract for housing. SOME states allow minors to become emancipated under specific circumstances, but this is not just a matter of filling out some paperwork. A minor is the responsibility of their parents until such time as they reach the age of majority or are legally emancipated. The parents are required to provide for the support of their minor children. If the parents give permission, the minor can live in another location. Such permission does not relieve the parents of the responsibility to provide support. If the parents do not give permission, the minor can be considered a runaway. Charges may apply to individuals that aid and abet such runaways, particularly if they are under the age of consent. In some states it is my understanding that this is not enforced for 17 year olds that leave home. If you are subject to abuse, you should contact social services for your area. They will assist you in getting out of the bad environment and into a safe place. A person is considered an adult when he or she reaches the age of 18. South Carolina considers a minor to be emancipated and attain adult status, if the minor enlists in the military and is placed on active duty, if the minor is married, both acts require parental consent.
