Wolves

They hunt live prey

Well, wolves are predators, just as much as any lion, puma, or crocadile. But if you are talking about someones tendancy to consider a wolf a vicious pest, it is sort of understandable. When you see wolves on TV, in movies, in fairy tales, a lot of the time you get to see their aggressive side; thus painting the picture of a downright mean animal. But even though wolves can look nasty, it is only nature's way of surviving. They are not out to kill people, or each other, they are only functioning the way they have for decades... so they can survive. But, wolves do often get in trouble for attacking sheep, goats, cattle, and the like. Now this is a real problem for the farmers. It is obvious that a wolf is not out to cause trouble; they think they are doing the smart thing by attacking the weakest animal. So now, wolves and people will sadly be enemies. I hope that in the future we can work out a way to keep wolves hunting their own food. Wolves are forced to kill livestock they have the right to do so, farmers have come into their territory.

So the answer to your question is, yes.

the Arctic Wolf and the Mackenzie Valley Wolf, also known as the Canadian Timber Wolf. Both are a subspecies of the Grey Wolf. The average weight of both are 50-65/70kg, or 110-155lbs. the largest wolf on record is an Alaskan Wolf at 175lbs, or 80kg, 1944, in Bulgaria. Even so, the largest wolves that can be found are the grey wolves found in Northern Alberta, Canada. I don't know what subspecies they are, but they are most likely Arctic or Mackenzie Valley. They are normally seen in Wood Buffalo National Park. It was never officially recorded, but some say the biggest wolf recorded was at 125lbs in Alberta, but its not known whether this is true or not, as the picture could have been fake or changed to look larger, so on record, its the one from Bulgaria.Just to make it clear, Mackenzie Valley Wolves are NOT the same subspecies as the Alaskan Grey Wolf. They are often confused as the same.

1. It is gray.
2. It is a wolf.
3. Gray+Wolf=Gray Wolf.
4. See it's as simple as that!

Wolves belong to the Canis genus along with the domestic dog, dingo, etc.

Not quite, but close, because they're all in the K9 family

Wolves, when they are puppies will wrestle and play fight. They watch other adults and try to imitate them. Some wolves can do this for hours! Sometimes they will pretend to hunt and will capture bones of a carcass near by. It is what they call there prize! Other wolves in there teenage years will play tag and chase each other. The sign for this to lay down and have there rump in the air. There tails are usually wagging!
Wolves, much like other animals, do something called "play fighting". it provides entertainment while also training young pups how to hunt and fight. no wolves are harmed while they play fight, they aren't really trying to hurt each other.

Wolves chase and hunt any animal depending on where they are in the world. They hunt things as small as mice to as large as moose or elk.

Red wolves are apex predators and the only predator they have is man.

Wolves are close to extinction, so they mainly live in northern united states and canada. the word "living" does not have an "e". (answered by an 11-year-old)

No body knows. Some think it's because they have a strong bond and others think it's because the strict hierarchy. Anyway gray wolves do mate for life and have a very strong almost unbreakable bond with each other (In my own personal opinoin).

They are mammals, therefor one would think of lungs. As most mammals do...

right now it about 40 thousands

it depends on what type of wolf, how large the wolf pack is, and how organized the wolf pack is i play in alot of RPGs and the positions we normally use are

Alpha male

alpha female

beta male

beta female

delta hunter male

delta hunter female

delta scout male

delta scout female

delta messenger male

delta messenger female

delta healer male

delta healer female

delta fighter male

delta fighter female

delta defender male

delta defender female

gamma hunters

gamma scouts

gamma messengers

gamma healers

gamma fighters

gamma defenders

queens

priors

tyros hunters

tyrso scouts

tyros messengers

tyros healers

tyros fighters

tyros defenders

omega

the alphas are first in comand they are the leaders

the betas take care of things if the alphas have to go away or they just do the little things

the deltas are incharge of a cirtian group of wolves and they organize the daily activities for their respective groups

gammas are the normal wolves though they each have an important part to play

there are many diffrent roles for a gamma

hunters- get food for the pack

scouts- patrol the territory and have a decent amount of battle skills though they are known for speed more than anything

messengers- take messages from one member of the pack to another and if the pack is large enough to have sub-packs then they take messages from one sub-pack to the others

healers- gather herbs and use them to help the sick wolves

fighters- are know for speed and ferocity it is a great honor to be a fighter they fight to drive out other packs

defenders- are heavily built and powerfull they fight if another pack is atacking them

queens are the females who have or are expecting pups, though nomaly a few females stay queens even if they are not expecting or nursing pups they help out the she wolves who have pups

priors are the old wolves who can't Cary out there duty in the pack they help make decisions

tyros are gammas in traning they are apreantanced to one of the gammas or if they are lucky to a delta, beta, or very rarely an alpha

the omega is the weakest wolf in the pack it is very submisive and thoughtfull it offers good advice to the wolves wise enough to take it

hope that helps:)

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!!

Wolves hunt for meat, because their carnivores, so they don't hunt for plants. They'll hunt for anything with meat in them, but if they have something to eat, they'll ignore the passing animal for the time being, or until they are hungry.

There are forty-two or forty-three Mexican Grey wolves in the wild and three hundred in captivity. Hope this helped. :)

a pack

Evidence suggests they did.

Wolves have excellent scenting skills and have exceptional hearing. On the downside, they're colourblind and don't see too well anyway, but they can see (to some extent) in the dark. They are also animals that will live and work cooperatively together as a pack.

about 3 days, then it has to eat something, whether plant or animal

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!

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.
