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.

The delta wolf is 3rd in the rankings, below the alpha and Betas. There may only be 1 male and 1 female Delta wolves. The Deltas are trained to be Beta wolves by the currenct Beta, and when that Beta wolf dies or is thrown from the pack then the Delta may choose to become a Beta or stay as a Delta. The Deltas aren't extremely important, but they have a voice. Deltas cannot make decisions in the pack, unline Betas and Alphas.
Delta wolf is less talked about therefore few people know much about them. They are not interested in gathering a following nor will they be led; the lone wolf. They will align themselves with various Alphas if both see the other as true equals. Is so, he respects the Alpha's position in the Alpha's own pack. If not, he simply moves on to somewhere else to do what he needs to before returning to is own original pack.
He does not care where he lands in the pack lineup when he arrives 'home', but often becomes the Alpha by default or by defeating the original-pack's current alpha if he views them an unacceptable leader.
Or he may choose a lifetime as a Delta continually learning from and sharing with each pack he communes with. He is respected as having a purposeful life but none other ever really understands what that purpose is.
It's a wild dog, you buffoon....WILD....DOG.

- Grey Wolf (aka: Timber Wolf) lives in North America, Eurasia and Middle East. by excessive hunting has caused these wolves to almost become extinct. Red Wolf is the rarest and most endangered and is found in eastern North America from Pennsylvania in the east to southern Florida. 155 captive re conservation parks; 100 in the wilds and 68 with radio collars. Ethiopian Wolf (aka: KY kebero); aka: Simien Jackal; Simien Fox and Abyssinian Wolf. 450 adults remain since 2003 and 38 have died from rabies. Mexican Wolf is related to the Grey Wolf in North America. For lack of prey these wolves went after livstock and the government issued eradicfication of them.

Italian Wolf (aka: Apennine Wolfe) related to the Grey Wolf is found in Italy and is one species of wolf of the least concern for preservation of this species. Tundra Wolf is related to the Grey Wolf. It lives in northern Europe and Asian and primarily in northern arctic and boreal regions of Russia. This species is of less concern as far as preserving the species. Maned Wolfappears between a cross of a wolf, African hunting dog and Hyena, but no conclusions to the relationship of species has been proved. The Maned Wolf lives in southern Brazil, Paraguay, Peru and Volivia east of the Andes. It is estimated there is only 4500 - 2200 of the Maned Wolf left.

Dire Wolf lived in North America for approximately 100,000 years and is extinct.
They are not as endangered as some animals, like the amur leopard, but are classed as endangered
A wolf may be endangered because of people hunting them. Zoos and other wildlife places are trying to save them and bring there population back up. Wolf hunting is very cruel to me. It takes another wolf one by one.
- There are a number of endangered wolf species, they are as follows; the Red Wolf, Vancouver Island Wolf, Caspian Sea Wolf, Mexican Wolf, Arabian Wolf, Himalayan Wolf, Indian Wolf, Ethiopian Wolf, and Eastern Wolf.
- Tasmanian wolves are actually NOT wolves, or even dogs. They are marsupials. Or, they were. They are considered extinct, though no one knows completely for sure. There are no such things as "tundra wolves." Sorry. The closest things that come to being tundra wolves are Arctic wolves and gray wolves, neither of which are endangered (gray wolves were recently taken off the list). Wolves come in a variety of colors, including black, red-ish, gray, and white, as well as a mixture of the colors.Gray wolves and Ethiopian wolves are also endangered.

- The Tasmanian wolf, or tiger, was a striped marsupial predator called the thylacine. It was in no way related to the true wolves.
- The Tasmanian Wolf, aka, Tasmanian Tiger, or Tazzy. Is considered extinct. The last captive species, later named Benjamin, died in 1936. It was not related to the wolf, as is referenced in this question. The Tasmanian Devil, however is still alive, and roaming in Australia, but is listed on the IUCN Red List, as "Endangered", with it's population on the decline.

How far can a wolf run in one day?
It all depends on the training that the dog has had. Just like humans a dog can not get off the couch and do a 50 mile run. They have to start out slow and work their way up in training distances. Some of the top dogs in the world can run more than 120 miles in a 24 hour period. These dogs will have thousands of training miles in before they get to this level. They take breaks during these runs and do not run 120 miles straight through. Most will run in cycles of 4 hours on; 4 hours off or 6 hours on 6 hours off or whatever type of runs the trainer has conditioned them for.
Red wolves are not extinct, they live here where i live, north carolina, they live here more to the beach in the back woods, they kind of look like a coyote
Addendum to above answer:
The red wolf population in North Carolina was introduced back into the wild to bring the animal back from extinction. The wild population consists of about 100 animals and is still considered highly endangered although from what I've read, and based on the answer above, they seem to be thriving. As far as why the red wolf went extinct in the wild to begin with, they went extinct because a) they were heavily hunted because they were considered to be a threat to livestock and b) habitat loss due to agriculturalization.
Do wolves kill just be cause they can?
I don't think so because wolves packs get hungry when not a lot of food around so I'm saying no
What abiotic and biotic factors affect gray wolves?
There are the Biotic and Abiotic factors that affect Gray Wolves:
Biotic: - living factors

- Precipitation (rain, snow, hail, freezing rain, etc...)
- Temperature (sweltering<>hot<>warm<>cool<>cold<>freezing)

How heavy is a wolf cub at born?
It depends entirely on the individual wolf and its age. For the first two weeks of their lives, pups can gain as much as 2.6 pounds per week if they're female and 3.3 pounds per week if they're male. From three weeks to one month of age, they can weigh between 3 to 5 pounds. From 12 weeks of age until they are mature (1-3 years old), they can weigh between 22 to 30 pounds. So you can see there's a whole lot of variation in there.

What other animals live in wolf habitats?
There are too many animals that live in the same habitat as wolves to list, however I will list some large animals that have an impact on wolves. Animals that wolves hunt include deer, elk, moose, caribou, wild boar, and even bison. Animals that compete with wolves for food include brown bears and cougars. Wolves have a range that spreads across Europe, Asia, and North America, and there are many different habitats with different types of animals that live in each one.

What does Omega mean in a pack?
The omega is the lowest ranking wolf in a pack. There is usually only one omega in a wolf pack (I think). The omega is picked on by other members of their pack. Omegas are important because the other wolves can pick on them to relieve stress and settle arguments, therefore reducing tenseness and grudges in the pack. Just a personal theory, but the omega might also keep the pups of the pack busy and happy by giving them attention so the mothers can have free time.

HUNTING
Grey wolves get their food the same way ever other wolf get their food by hunting the next available small animal (not anything poisonous).
they hunt for it.
Wolves normally hunt in packs, running down sick, lame or young animals and killing and eating them on the spot.
Grey wolves have no critical natural enemies, although bears sometimes dig up wolf dens to kill and eat young wolf pups. The grey wolf's only critical enemy is the human, who unhumanley shoots and poaches the wolf. We also cut down their forest homes and use their bodies as hunting trophies or to sell. Some horrid people also capture wolves as pets in cages and sell them for dirty money. So those evil wolf killers out there are the reason why the wolf is slowly disappearing from the world, and are wolves main enemies.
