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.

What do wolves do to help people?
Depends on how they help each other. In a pack or separate lone wolves?
Pack--they hunt with each other, play with each other, clean each other, show affection, show loyalty, mourn.
Seperate--very rare do other wolf packs help each other. Actually I think there hasn't been a record account of that happening.
What problems do wolves face from humans?
Wolves can cause various problems to society. Here are just a few:
- eating farmers livestock (ex. chickens, cows, pigs, etc.)
- coming into town and scaring people
- they can spread rabies since they are mammals
- eating pets who are left outside
- stealing dogs (often to mate with or to get into their pack)
- making a danger in wolf infested areas
- etc.
Do any wolves live in Kentucky?
it is believed that red wolves where extinct in the wild by the 70's but people i know ( i live in Kentucky) swear up and down they have seen them in the wild, however the size and looks of what i see as coyotes around here is IDENTICAL to the information Ive researched on red wolves, i hunt coyote around here because of there seemingly great numbers, and eating our cattle (3 to be specific, calf's that is) and the coyote Ive seen and killed look and resemble red wolves in ever manner, even there howl is hard to tell apart, on top of that the coyotes around here including ones Ive shot where easily 45-60lbs... so the answer to your question technically is no, but i wouldn't be surprised if the DNA of the coyotes around here resembled a red wolf more than it did a coyote itself, or even some other wolfs it might have interbred with in Canada and migrated into Kentucky.

What is the difference in a male wolf's coat and a female wolf's coat?
Usually the only differences between a male and female wolf are their size, fierceness, and rank. The wolves may have different color coats, but that shouldn't be much of a distinguishing characteristic.
All sub-species of wolves are different. The largest wolf species which is the Grey wolf can be 80-85cm at the shoulder

IDK! >XO(mad face) the answer is what?!?!?
Are you allowed to kill a wolf?
Don't kill wolves! Without them, moose would be overpopulated and then starve.
That's also why there is a white-tailed-deer over population, because everyone killed off all the wolves, and so the deer had no predators. Wolves are of the more intelligent species, and they are very special in every way. Hunting wolves is not right; without them, dogs would not have existed. Wolves deserve to live!
Wolves are beautiful but misunderstood dying off animals. Let them live and howl for there lives!
No, worms are in a completely separate class from arthropods.
How is the maned wolf endangered?
The Maned Wolf is endangered because of habitat loss that will become farmland. It is also killed by being run over by cars, poachers, the giant kidney worm, and age. The Maned Wolf lives 12-15 yrs. and mates at 2 yrs. old
Maned wolves are also endangered because of their fur and especially their mane is very popular for winter coats. People keep hunting them for their fur. Which i think is COMPLETELY STUPID!! why do people have to wear animals i mean its not like you see people walking around with people jackets...
wolves can jump as far as around 15 feet and around 12 feet high.
Wolf Can Jump As High As A Story Building?
That would depend on the breed of dog and which species of fox you would like to compare. For example, an Alaskan malamute is definitely stronger than a fennec fox, but a red fox will be stronger than a chihuahua.
How many species of gray wolves are there?

- Gray/Timber wolf
- Maned wolf
- Ethiopian wolf
- Red wolf
- Tasmanian wolf
- Abyssinian wolf

Answer 2:There are four true wolf species in the world, and they are as follows:- Gray wolf - Canis lupus.
- Eastern wolf - Canis lycaon.
- Himalayan wolf -Canis himalayensis.
- Indian wolf -Canis indica.
Other "wolves" such as the maned wolf or Tasmanian wolf for example, are not real wolves at all. In order to be considered a wolf, the animal MUST be in the genus "CANIS" such as the four above are.
This is why the maned wolf is not a wolf. Their names are "Chrysocyon brachyurus." And the now extinct Tasmanian wolf (also known as the Tasmanian tiger) is "Thylacinus cynocephalus."
Of course there are many different subspecies inside of a species. The gray wolf has 15 different subspecies (mexican, arctic, dog, red, alaskan, etc.) for example.

Yes, wolves are eukaryotic organisms because their cells, like all animal cells have a nucleus.
How is a young gray wolf different than an adult wolf?
Wolves travel in packs. Only the top female in the wolf pack breeds. Any female dog will breed. A female wolf only breeds once a year. A female dog will breed twice a year. Normally a gray wolf is larger than a dog. The entire pack raises wolf puppies. A female dog will not let any other animals near her puppies.
Gray wolves and domestic dogs appear to be very different from one another, and indeed in instinct, appearance and life cycle (specifically frequency of fertility in both males and females; wolves are only fertile once per year for a few weeks whilst domestic dog bitches are fertile several times per year and male dogs tend to be fertile year-round).
However, genetically they remain quite similar; all domestic dogs are descended from gray wolves and taxonomically are the same species (canis lupus; they are distinguished, taxonomically, by subspecies only -- canis lupus familiaris for domestic dogs, with gray wolf covering a variety of gray wolf subspecies such as canis lupus lycaon for the North American Eastern Timberwolf). Gray Wolves, domestic dogs, red wolves (canis rufus, considered a distinct species from the gray wolf/domestic dog) and coyotes (canis latrans) are readily interbreedable and are thus more genetically compatible than, say, donkeys and horses (which can interbreed and produce offspring called mules, but their offspring are almost always infertile due to donkeys and horses having different numbers of chromosome pairs giving the offspring an odd number of chromosomes when an even number of chromosomes are requisite for producing more offspring).
