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 color are a gray wolf's eyes?

Yeah what eva. They are wait i know this ...what colour are gray wol..oh GRAY wolves! smart one
Blue? As in cornflower, Mama's checkered tablecloth blue? No. But there is a variation of the Gray gene that is considered 'blue' by several species of animals. Note in fact the Russian Blue cat, and the 'blue' of a Cochen chicken. While it is not a true blue, it does have a reflective quality of the underlying gray. So while the Blue Wolf sounds pretty, it is just a fantasy. The 'Rain Wolves' of western Vancouver Island have been refered to as Blue Wolves but the term is not offical anywhere.

For what do humans use wolves?
Humans...Farmers...hunters; use wolves for their fur to stuff as a trophy. At least that is what hunters do. Farmers kill these gorgeous animals because of them killing their cattle or at least afraid that they will
Yes, wolves can bark. They can also howl, whine, and make other sounds. Wolves rarely bark like dogs. Instead they use a low-in-tone short bark, usually used to warn pack mates of intruders.
Answer
Wolves can bark, though they are most famous for their howl. Many stories have wolves in them, and the wolf is often described as evil, like The Big Bad Wolf and the Three Little Pigs and Little Red Riding Hood. Wolves are misjudged for many things. They really aren't that bad...I have been studying them for three years, And I know a few things about them. In a pack, their barks and howls and growls help them, though some think that they are just doing it for fun. In a pack, wolves may howl at different pitches and volumes so that it sounds like there are more of them and that they are a stronger pack. That way, enemy and bordering wolf packs will know to stay out of their way because it seems like there are more of them. Wolves up in the snowy areas will bury their muzzle in the snow and howl so that their prey will think that the wolves are farther away, because the snow muffles their howl. Growls will warn other wolves to stay back. Whines will tell other members of the pack different things, at different pitches. Whelps (Wolf pups) whine the most of any member, though the adults and alphas and betas will whine in pain, if they smell something, etc. Barks often warn other wolves to stay back. I know that I'm saying more than you asked...oh, well.
Normally if a animal like a wolf is angry it will arch its tail and move its ears back and start growling while showing its teeth to tell you to back off. If you don't back off however normally the ears will jump up and it will chase after you attempting to aim for the jugular vein for a kill. Pretty much go up to any dog and try to take a bone away from them and they will show you the same behavior a wolf would.
How can people help to save gray wolves?
It's all for a good cause really. Wolf numbers have declined since they were hunted and the deforestation, and now people want to save them.
I personally love wolves, and I think it is a great idea! :)
One of the most well known groups for saving wolves is Wolf Conservation Trust UK.
Their work is good, keep up the good work! :)
Are there any wolf sanctuaries in Texas?
I have lived in Texas a long time and here is what I hope will answer your question. Over the last 2 and a half decades there has been decreasing pressure on the populations of predators from things like trapping and methodical hunting by ranchers. The result is that the populations of predators like coyotes, foxes, bobcats, and mountain lions have been able to make a huge comeback. Not only that but having spent a lot of time in a lot of different wilderness areas of Texas I can tell you that jaguars are starting to come across the border and establish populations here as well. I have not seen any wolves but I have seen some large packs of coyotes and sometimes they get rather large, especially the alpha individual of said packs I don't think that it is impossible for some of these wolf packs that are being reestablished in Arizona and New Mexico to have a few lone wolves reestablish either a small pack or bread with the coyote population to make massive coyotes. Just so you know another name for coyote is the prairie wolf.
Is hunting wolves legal in America?
The regulations vary, check with your local Fish and Game department.
It is illegal to shoot any animal,wild or not.The only legal act about shooting animals is hunting and that only when and where allowed.
no! A bear eats a wolf, not a wolf eats a bear. yeah right. i'd have Jlo kiss my butt if it did.
The post above lacks great knowledge in wildlife. Wolfs can endure beating and bites. They will still just keep at the bear continually tearing at it. Bears are usually lazy and just want to eat. (NOT HUNT.) The bear has a low endurance rate. BUt here is my honest oppinion. I don't think either will kill each other. But they might eat each other if that makes sence. Usually Bears and Wollves encounter each other but its never anything more than a defensive scuffle.
They don't, really, any more than a pig says "oink" but it is occasionally necessary to write down the sound of a dog barking and that's one of the ones the English language came up with. There's also "arf" and "Throw the stick already" but that last one is only used on special occasions.
Why can wolves see in the dark?
they do not see in only black and white. they dont see colors as vibrantly but can see colors.
Where are most gray wolves found?
Gray wolves are also found in not only Canada and other North American coutries but also in Russia, the Middle East, and formerly India, the United States mainland, and Mexico.
Europe and north America
Ok, lets just be clear here, timber wolves and gray wolves are the same... and mostly grey wolves (timber wolves) live in canada, Alaska, Asia, or in north and south america... :) hope this helps!!!
Actually, men huntswolf, but in most cases, they don't eat them. Ravens, Crows, and other scavenger birds feed off of wolfs that have died.
Men, and not only that but bears do, though very rare. It matters if the wolf got in the bear's way. Also a cougar or animals such as that will easily be able to kill a wolf. In other words, besides humans, cats/bears are actually the top of the food chain.
Do you mean 'What animals eats wolves?' If you do, I can answer that for you.
Wolves are top predators. This means that no other animals hunts them for food. They may occasionally run into other animals, such as bears, and the bear simply kills them and moves off. This is not cruel, it is a dominance over territory.
To be honest, the mammals which kill the most wolves is humans. This is horrifying and cruel, being as most people only do this for entertainment and think of it as an honour that they have killed such a graceful creature.
i think most scavengers would eat a dead wolf but they wouldn't try to kill one
Wolves are on the top of the food chain so they have no predators.Us humans thoe hunt them but not eat them.
scavengers, but only after the wolf is dead. They are formidable pack predators, so another predator attacking a wolf as prey is highly unlikely.
How often are babies born to a wolf?
A wolf is a mammal so a wolf pup is born alive from the mother. Just like a dog.
How does the grey wolf breathe?

Dude, wolves have lungs too.

What are wolf adaptations to a grassland?
No, they live in icy habitats, but when the ice is melted, then we can say that wolves live in grasslands.
Bears eat anything and everything they are big enough to kill.
