What do wolves in Yellowstone eat?

Answer 1

The wolves in Yellowstone eat mostly elk, and the prey most hunted by wolves there is elk (between 1995 and 2001, 92% of recorded wolf kills in Yellowstone were elk). They also hunt bison and moose, but not nearly as much as elk. They rarely hunt deer, bighorn sheep, pronghorns, or any of the other hooved mammals found in Yellowstone. They may prey on almost anything if they can, such as the occasional fox or beaver, but this is also rare. However, wolves are scavengers as well as hunters and will eat almost anything that's died recently, such as roadkill. To sum it up: the largest part of wolves' diet in Yellowstone is made up of elk.
