Role of a living thing in its habitat?
That depends on the individual species and the individual environment. Some are designed to control animal population, some are designed to control vegetation. Still others are designed to control both. These classifications are:
Carnivores:
Responsible for control of animal population by reducing other ever-growing species such as insects, and other unwanted rodents.
Herbivores:
Responsible for control of the vegetation and surrounding flora and/or fauna such as the wildly growing vine known as "Kudzu" to reduce the chances of overgrowth.
Omnivores:
Responsible for control of both vegetation and animal population.
Scavengers:
Responsible for removing the leftover waste generated by others.

How do wolves take care of their young?
Wolves take very good care of their young, or pups. Their parental skills have even been compared with that of the Great Apes. Pups are born in the spring, and all the throughout the summer, the entire pack works together to care for, and feed the pups. Sometimes, a wolf will even go hungry in order to feed the pups. They seem to enjoy the company of younger wolves, and sometimes, will compete with each other for time with the pups. Large packs may invade another pack's territory, and in such a case, might kill pups from the rival pack. Though, in rarer, less violent situations, they may even adopt pups from other packs, if given the chance.
Yes. Whatever the mother eats, the baby gets from the mother's milk. They also keep them warm when they don't have enough fur.
Wolves (usually female ones) hunt their selected prey the female wolf then kills its prey,after that the female wolf will carry the animal then carry it back to where its baby(s) are .The female wolf will never eat until its baby(s) learn how to hunt,take care of the elders,search of shelter and the most basic:camouflouge.
Are lycan the same as a wolf shifter?
Recent attempts at terminology have suggested the distinction of
werewolves reproduce by biting victims
lycans reproduce by the ordinary method and inherit the condition.
People who are werewolves (for example: prof. lupin from Harry Potter) ONLY change from human to wolf at full moon and the can not stop the change from happening, whereas a Lycan (for example: Jacob black from the twilight series can change from human to wolf at will and at any time or place.
There isn't that much of a difference. Werewolves are humans that can transform into a humanoid wolf, and Lycans are just humanoid wolves, and supposedly start of the werewolf chain.
ghost 1494: WRONG! there is a big difference between were wolves and lycans. Lycans are gods dog, a holy dog, they have control over their transformation. They have a choice in whether or not to change. The werewolves they see a full moon bam! they change into a humanoid dog. they can not control their transformation and I don't think they are holy dogs like the lycan is. Do you know what? Read a bible, it mentions lycans, a lot of people say they both are the same, but they are not. Werewolves don't know what going wrong with them, nor how to stop it. lycans are in full control. if you think I'm crazy and your a werewolf, come find me and we will see the difference. >:)
Well, A werewolf is someone who voluntarily or involuntarily shifts in one aspect or another. Whereas a lycan is a mental where the person believes that they are able to transform. Tehy some times have the "need" to hunt and can take on animal instincts.
OokamiWolf: NOPE! First of all, lycans transform into a wolf-like humanoid at any time of their choice. Werewolves on the other hand transform into a wolf-like humanoid only on the full moon, however. Lycans have full control over their powers unlike werewolves. Lycans grow quickly and become larger in their human for than most humans. Werewolves do not grow that quickly or that much. If you think I'm wrong, bring a lycan and a werewolf and come find me! >:3

Keero: Sorry to say that all above is wrong. Lycan is an abbreviated version of the word Lycanthrope From the Greek word λυκάνθρωπος λύκος, or lukos, which means "wolf" and άνθρωπος, or anthrōpos, meaning man. And the word Werewolf derives from the Old English word Werwulf, Wer which means man( specifically male humans not the race of man), and wulf which is the Old English for wolf, but it can be also translated as beast.
With that being said There is no difference, except in the Lore and behind them. Up until recently (with the coming of the Underworld movies), were Lycans used as their own Mythical beast. But in reality they are the same being, just with different names.
Just as Wyrms, and Dragons are the same Mythical being.
Can a human turn into a werewolf?
Not really.
A Bit More InformationShape-shifting is an ancient practice. Shamans of many different paths and ethnicities have been doing it in one form or another since man stopped dragging his knuckles in the dirt. There are two many ways to go about this. Both are done in an "altered" state, usually induced by meditation and/or ritual.One form allows the shaman to "send out" his/her conscious mind to meld with an animal. In this form he/she has limited control of the animal, however the animals "spirit" can and often does "bleed over" into that of the shaman, in which case the shaman's perspective, comprehension and ethics are subject to that of the animal.
The other form uses a close tie between a shaman and an animal guide (either spirit or corporeal) which cooperates by letting the conscious mind of the shaman "see" through their eyes. The link is less dangerous, and tends to give the shaman an image more readily comprehensible to the human mind and ethics.
Why do wolves live in a forest?

Grey wolves, as in the species, are also called "timber wolves", or just "wolves". They are the most commonly known wolves. Some names for a grey wolf character you are creating, as in the fur color grey, can be named Twig, Branch, Smoke, Boulder, and Dusty for males. Misty, Rain, Minnow, and Pebble work for females. Some mystic names for pretty much any wolf male include Apollo, Rune, Lobo, and Cobalt. Some options of mystic names for females include Echo, Tempest, Topaz, and Leto. Most of the names listed would work for unisex names, like Pebble, Smoke, Echo and Rune.
