Wolves

Canine teeth in wolves are adaptations for hunting and feeding. These long, sharp teeth are used for grasping and tearing prey, aiding in the wolf's carnivorous diet. Canine teeth also play a role in dominance displays and defense within wolf packs. Overall, the canine teeth in wolves are specialized for their predatory lifestyle.

Oh, this is so sad! I'm sorry she lost all of her pups. She will have to go through a grieving process. She will usually get over it quick. If she has good milk and she was not the reason for the pups to die, then you might see if there is a rescue or shelter in your area that have orphaned pups needing a mom. Sometimes it works out that way. If not, give her plenty of attention. Do not give her too much food. If her milk does not dry up then she could get a very bad and painful infection. Many breeders will drastically cut the dog's food at this time. I think that is too much. In my experience, just cut back to adult food (not puppy food), and give her just a little less than her normal (non-pregnant, non nursing) food would be. For example, if she normally ate about 3 cups of dry food a day before she was pregnant, then try giving her two. I would not go lower than two unless she is really full with milk and uncomfortable and the 2 cups did not help. You can also try calling to see if the vet would want to give her a shot that can help her get through this a little faster. Watch for signs of infection -- infection in the milk glands is the main concern. Feel every day, twice a day at least, to look for signs of infection: heat, redness, swelling, lumps. Sometimes all there is is a hard lump, other times the dog's teats will feel very hot all over or in certain places -- she can get an infection in just one gland, not usually in all of them. Other times she may have a fever. YOu can take her temperature with a normal (human) rectal thermometer. Use a little vaseline or K-Y jelly to make it easier for your dog, and have someone hold her still so she cannot hurt herself or you. Don't do this if your dog is not gentle with being handled in delicate places. Her temperature is normal at around 101., anywhere between 100.5 and 101.5 -- I would call the vet if it goes up to 102 at home. A fever indicates an infection and must be treated by a veterinarian asap.

Your love and attention is what she needs to get over the loss of the pups, but your nursing care is very important to be sure she doesn't get very sick from making too much milk that isn't being used by her pups, or by having a uterine infection.

Most wolves belong to a pack. The adults would do the hunting and eat first. It goes from oldest to the youngest wolf. Some wolves if there is not enough to share usually the pups would go without. But with the very young that have started eating meat but cannot go to a hunt the adult wolf would regurgitate.

The early wolf studies were seriously flawed. First, the wolves were held in captivity and not in studied in their natural habitats. Second, the wolves had been captured from different wolf packs, creating a volatile and unnatural pack structure. Finally, the studies focused largely on hunting/feeding behavior, a small percentage of wolf behavior. None of these factors provided researchers with an accurate view of normal wolf behavior. According to one biologist, this study was akin to using the concentration camps of Germany and Poland to study natural human behavior.

More in-depth studies of wolves in their natural habitats over the last 50 years have since revealed that a wolf pack is made up of a family; the breeding pair who shares leadership, and their offspring (1), who stay with the pack until 2-3 years of age, when they start their own pack. Eventually, almost every wolf becomes an "alpha" if they survive long enough mate and breed.

A female wolf will den when she has puppies

It depends on the species. Usually wolves in Canada are stronger, and can rip your face off....

Coyotes live in nearly every biome - desert, grassland, taiga, deciduous forest and even in urban areas.

Canis Lupus
This is canis lupus. Domestic dogs are a subspecies, canis lupus familiaris.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Yes, the wolves and dogs are in the same family. They are in the Canine Family.

Mainly in northern countries like Canada and Russia but some species can be found further south like the Ethadopein Wolf who lives east Africa.

The wolf lives in the tundra and alpine areas of Canada and Russia, Europe(Romainia)

Specifically, all of Ontario, Manitoba, Yukon, Nunavut, The Hudson Bay, The Northwest Territories and Northern Quebec. Some have even lived in the urban parts of these provinces, such as Tottenham, London, Paris and in those areas

Actually wolves live in Alberta and Saskatwan too

Yeah those places too. and in china there is a Chinese wolf

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!

Gray wolves live in the upper region of Michigan.

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
