It depends on what kind of wolf it is. There are grey wolves (or timber wolves) and they usually roam the forest or woods. There are arctic wolves, and they might be found out on tundras. Plus, there are plains wolves (But I think they are extinct) and like their name, they live out on the plains.
There are many more types of wolves that live in different places. How about you use a search engine to find out more?
. Though there are numerous predators in the Savannah like Cheetahs, Hyenas, Leopards etc, the Lion is the only predator that can bring down/kill a full grown adult Zebra. Because of their size, they are too big to be attacked by smaller predators like Cheetahs and Hyenas. However, Zebra foals are an inviting prey for these smaller predators like Cheetahs. A significant % of Zebra foals fall prey to these predators every year

Do wolves howl at a quarter moon?
Wolves howl....But they don't howl at the moon. In fact wolves have no interest in the moon at all. The common myth of a wolf howling at the moon probably comes from the way the wolves howl. When wolves howl they lift their heads towards the sky and it looks as if they are howling at the moon. But why do they lift their heads when howling ? Wolves lift their heads when they howl because the sound waves carry further than what they would if the wolf didn't lift its head when howling. A wolfs howl can be heard up to 6 miles away. Wolves howl mainly at night because they are nocturnal animals. Wolves howl for various reasons to warns off other wolf packs, To find each other, call for the pack to meet up and sometimes they may just howl for fun . Each wolf will have a slightly different howl. So wolves can tell each other apart even in the dead of night. In fact wolves don't just howl at night they also howl at dawn, dusk and day. The alpha wolf will have a howl that is lower in frequency. Wolves in packs howl all the time but lone wolves do not howl as much because they do not want their where about to be known by potential predators.
What can people do to stop the killing of wolves?
People should drop their guns down and say " I'm done hunting wolves , and I should leave them all alone!" People should think that wolves aren't going to be ferocious if they stop hunting them.

Erm, a work of fiction. To the best of my knowledge, wolves do not practice druidism, though it would be pretty cool to see a pack of wolves circling stonehenge. I also find myself trying to think up a good punchline for that...a howlingly bitchin' druid?
The first answer was wrong. A druid female is a female wolf that is in the Druid Peak Pack, the most famous pack in Yellowstone National Park.
Number of wolf attacks on a human per year?
Weeeell, there have actually been no documented attacks at all. But this is only because the criteria for an attack to be recorded are ludicrously strict. I don't know all of the requirements for they are plentiful but I know that there cannot have been a wolf hunt in place at the time because wolves hunting will likely attack someone who walks in the scene, the wolf must be killed and examined for illnesses such as rabies AND the victim must also have been killed.

Wolves are omnivores so there is little they will not eat. Wolves supplement their diet with fruit and vegetable matter. They willingly eat the berries of mountain ash, lily of the valley, bilberries, blueberries and cowberry. Other fruits include nightshade, apples and pears. They readily visit melon fields during the summer months.
beta wolves are just like others. they eat, howl, growl, sleep, protect, catch food. the only difference is the beta wolves are more fierce. they catch food by themselves but they still live in the pack. they catch food when no on is looking so the other wolves wont try to eat their food. so even though they live in a pack they are still loners.
