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.

Where do gray wolves live in Texas?
I live just south of Quinlan and opened my front door to find a big grey wolve looking at me. He stood still for awhile waiting to see what I was going to do, then ran into the wooded area adjacent to our pasture. We have lost a full grown cat and a chihuahua to a wolf. My neighbor watched a grey wolf catch and run with her cat.
they use the sound to talk to each other
and on another note you say wolves not wolfs
How and when does the wolf pack receive a new alpha?
The pack doesn't receive a new alpha. In September 2006 Jake splits off from the rest of the pack followed by Seth then Leah. This creates two packs. He does this because he doesn't agree with the choice that Sam, the alpha, makes. Sam truly believes that the right thing to do is to kill Bella because this will also kill the baby vampire inside of Bella. He believes this will prevent the reservation and forks from being at risk by a newborn vampire. Jake doesn't agree and refuses to kill Bella, fortunately Jake could over rule Sam and split off to start a separate pack because he is the rightful alpha of the Quileute pack. This ends up with the two separate packs.
Hope this answers your question :)

Why do wolves attack the hindquarters of a bison instead of the forequarters?
The hindquarters are the most unprotected part of a bison, and the most vulnerable, unlike the forequarters. The forequarters are very hairy (unlike the hindquarters) and an area where a wolf has a much higher chance of getting gored by a bison's horns than if he struck at the flanks and rump.

Why is it illegal for Mexicans come over to the US?
It is not illegal for Mexicans to come into the US. It is illegal for them to do it in an illegal way. You don't just cross a border, buy falsified documentation, have kids, and assume that everything will be ok and you will become a citizen. We Don't have open borders, with citizenship open to all who can figure out how to cross the border. But anyone from Mexico is welcome to come to the US legally and to work toward citizenship. We are a nation created by immigrants.
Well, for one wolves are helping to balance the ecosystem. Two, wolves are not the evil creatures that folklores and legends have made them to be. Wolves are also the ancestors of our domestic dog. I could go on and on but I hope you see my point, wolves deserve to be saved.
Can a wolf be used as a service animal?
Realistically - no.
While wolves can be tamed, they haven't been domesticated. They'd be too unreliable
It's usually not allowed to keep one as a pet. And if you can't keep it as a pet, you wouldn't be allowed to use one as a service animal.
What do wolves do that is bad?
wolves can kill livestock and ungulates. they are good because they create a ecology of fear for the elk and deer, who stop eating in one location, and so there is more biodiversity. Because wolves have prevented deer and elk from eating certain plants, other species have thrived, like the beavers.
How many wolves are still alive?
It depends on the species or subspecies. Grey wolf population is in the endangered catigory, Ethiopean wolves are in the almost extinct catigory, and the Mexican wolf is in the endangered catigory.

Why does Fox News get facts wrong about wolves?
Their email address is yourcomments@foxnews.com
This morning I was watching Fox News, and I was shocked at their stupidity, lack of knowledge, spewing poison out of their pie holes against the wolf. I have contacted Predator Defense. Hopefully they will contact Fox News and correct their inaccurate reporting: Below is what I sent to Predators:
Good morning and a big HELP (in the name of the wolf),
This morning I was watching Fox News, and much to my dismay, they did a short piece on the wolf, having the facts wrong. They even referred to the movie, "Old Yeller" as possibly being bitten by a wolf and dying from rabies. I sat there stunned. The only statement they had correct is that animal activists are threatening to sue for the wolves being slaughtered. According to Fox News, there is an over abundance of wolves. Surely not in Idaho, Montana and Wyoming. Then they were saying how it's right to shoot a wolf before it attacks you. Oh, my God! My hair stood on end. The only thing they said right was that wolves take down deer, but they left it at that, not mentioning the good that does. They never mentioned about the wolves controlling large herds of animals so there is no over grazing. They never mentioned that the wolf usually only takes down the sick or the elderly making the herd stronger. If it weren't for the wolf helping to manage the Eco system, there would be no grass, the trees would die, therefore, no place for birds to nest and raise their families. They didn't mention any of this. Fox News area covers everyone, and people listen to what they have to say. They are usually right, but this time they hit the bottom of the ladder of evolution in my book. Could somebody from Predator Defense contact them and explain what is really going on. They didn't even mention how Defenders of Wildlife held meetings for the farmers, showing them first hand how to keep their livestock safe from predators. They also did not mention that the wolf is not the main predator. There are other animals out there that are killing the livestock, even packs of wild dogs. Why don't the farmers complain when their herds get sick and they loose many of them to illnesses or broken bones from holes on their land?
About how many gray wolves are left in the us?
Not very many. Although they once roamed all of North and Central America, they have been exterminated from most of the U.S. There is a small population in northern Minnesota, a growing population in the northern Rocky Mountains, and they have been reintroduced to New Mexico.
