Well, if a dead whale were to strand within the territory of a wolf pack, they might have a go at it.
But most whales will be well out in the ocean, and wolves don't hunt in deep water. On top of that the size difference would make it real hard for the wolves to do any serious damage to the whale.
Yes. In the breeding season, when a female is in heat, a lot of male wolves will fight to mate with her. The male wolves fight, and when one of them does get to mate with the female, he guards her, so other wolves know she is taken. However, sometimes, another stronger, older wolf may fight the male wolf, mate with the female again, and stay with her for life.
