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.

Is the Australian dingo a dog or wolf?

in 1982, some taxonomists recommended it to be classified as a subspecies of the wolf :)

At what age do wolves hunt?

A male wolf may be forced out of the pack to be on its own by the time it is 6 to 9 months old. The male pack leader will force him out but keep the females. Only another female will force a female out of the pack.

What are the wolf's behaviors?

A wolf is loyal to the pack, and would do anything to protect the cubs. A wolf would run a mile from a human, especially one with fire. Wolves constantly test the limits of their hierarchy, unlike dogs, and are untrainable. A polite greeting with a superior consists of less than a second of eye contact before looking away, standing firm with fur fluffed up less than the leader's and tail slightly lower. When a pack howls, sometimes (if they have cubs) they face in different directions to make them harder to find. Wolves don't like water(to swim in etc. They do drink it!) much. When the pack hunts, they leave one wolf behind to guard the pups. To heighten their position in the pack, a wolf will try to grab the muzzle of the wolf one place above and pin it to the ground until the other wolf shows signs of submission (whining,wagging tail,rolling onto back etc.). The loser will then 'apologise' for resisting by crouching low, wagging the tail and licking the muzzle of the other wolf. I could go on, but there's just too much-it's such a vague question!
It depends on what the wolf's personality is like. Some are nice and don't want any trouble, others are bloodthirsty and vicious, and some are very protective.

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.

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.

Are you allowed to kill a wolf?

Don't kill wolves! Without them, moose would be overpopulated and then starve.

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!
