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.

Do wolves fight other wolves over food?
Yes, in a pack there is always a fight over the prey they killed, and it is first, most will-strong that gets the most. Usually, they don't fight or even hurt each other, it is mostly growling and jamming jaws close to the other wolf.
How does a narwhal interact with its own?
A narwhals behavior is when it is trying to survive from the cold or from other animals
What is the chordate for a wolf?
Yes. All mammals are vertebrates, and all vertebrates are chordates.
A wolf-dog hybrid (also called a wolf hybrid or wolfdog) is a canid hybrid resulting from the mating of wolf (Canis lupus) and a dog (Canis familiaris). The term "wolfdog" is preferred by most wolfdog proponents and breeders since the domestic dog was recently taxonomically recategorized as a subspecies of wolf.
In first generation hybrids, gray wolves are most often crossed with wolf-like dogs (such as German Shepherd Dogs, Siberian Huskies, and Alaskan Malamutes) for an appearance most appealing to owners desiring to own an exotic pet. Since wolf hybrids are genetic mixtures of wolves and dogs, their physical and behavioral characteristics cannot be predicted with any certainty.
The primary thing that separates wolves from other hunters is the way that the pack works. With many pack hunters, the pack simply follows prey roughly in a line and takes one from the back which is slower than the rest.
With wolves they will place themselves at point along a valley where some of the pack will chase the herd. Then one set of wolves will run down part way through the herd from one side, then another set of wolves will run down from the other side. This splits the herd and makes it easier to pick off one animal.
There is also evidence that wolves call to each other and other packs to tell each other where the large herds are.
However it should be noted that wolves eat a lot of smaller prey such as mice and rabbits.

What survival skills do wolves have?
Short answer: Fighting, hunting, locating prey, locating each other.
Long answer:
Running Wolves can run very long distances. When going at 5 mph, gray wolves can travel very far effortlessly, thanks to their body structure, which is made for travel. Their paws and toes are flexible, which is good for rocky ground and uneven terrain. This is all good, because wolves travel far just to find good. Gray wolves can also run up to around 40 mph in a brief sprint when trying to catch prey.
Social Life Wolves live in packs, which means they can protect each other and when hunting, they have a far better chancing of taking down their prey. Also, when a mother is in her den and has given birth to pups, others of the pack will leave meat for her.
Digging On wolves' forepaws, they have a fifth toe called a dew claw. This allows them to dig very well when creating a den to give birth to their cubs in or chasing an animal that has run to it's burrow.
Using Teeth and Claws When fighting, a wolf's main weapon is it's teeth. Their sharp canines and strong jaw pressure of 1,500 pounds per square inch helps them pull off meat from a carcass and crush bones.
Howling To locate a separated member of a pack, wolves howl. Their howls can reach out far to allow wolves to communicate at long distances.
Strength and Size Wolves are very strong and big. Sometimes just the menacing size of themselves can scare others away.
Great hearing and Great Smelling Wolves have wonderful noses and ears to sniff out and locate prey.
Playing By playing ever since they were young, wolves learn to fight.
Is it true that some humans are raise by wolves?
ancient legends say romulus, founder of rome was raised by wolves along with his brother.
Is the wolf the largest canine?
Largest? How are you measuring?
Height would probably be the Borzoi (Russian Wolfhound) or an Irish Deerhound. Weight is the English Mastiff (including one at 328 lbs).
The heaviest dog/canine is the Old English Mastiff (correct name Mastiff, but commonley still called English Mastiff or Old English Mastiff ). This is the world record holder for the heaviest dog and is the heaviest dog according to the breed standard (but other large breeds could out-weigh a small Mastiff!!
The current world record for the tallest dog is held by a Great Dane, at 42.2 or 107cm at the shoulder, that's 7 ft tall when he's stood on his hind legs. Even at this height he is 170lb in weight, which is less than your average male Mastiff.
But, (not including the record holder) according to breed standards the Irish Wolfhound is the tallest dog.
The SCOTTISH Deerhound or Russian Wolfhound arn't as tall as Irish wolfhound.
No domestic dog ( wethher its the Irish wolfhound/deerhound, Old English mastiff or great dane) is larger than the Largest timber wolf. This wolf was 7'11 tall on its hind legs and 8'9 from nose to tail also 43.5 inches at the shoulder, no dog has ever been recored that large.

Yes, wolves do have camouflage that helps them hide from their prey during hunts. It is the color of their fur which helps them blend into their surroundings.
