According to jim menster a private breeder of wolves in moscow idaoho, he states wolves have the similar characteristics as dogs and as soon as we learn to get over our fear of wolves we can all learn to appreciate this animal. Many wolves are beeing bred and tried to be introduced to the wild all though once a wolf is domesticated it is very rare for them to be able to survive on their own. Wolves make good pets and are able to function with humans. They have been applied to the sport of doggsledding as recent as the 1950s. Wolves are a crazy animal with a nack for survival.
Largest in North America, the gray wolf can range in different colors depending on which forest of Tundra they range upon. They can live up to ten to eighteen years and average the length of 102-163 cm. An adult may even weigh in up to 85-115 pounds, but smaller is the female weighing 50 to 100 pounds. Considered the world’s most natural villain, the gray wolf has rarely ever attacked humans. However, they may take it upon them to attack our everyday domesticated animals like our dogs, rabbits, cats, or even our livestock, which can cause tragedy because then they are trapped and shot.
The wolves diet is,they mainly eat meat, which includes wild sheep, wild goat, musk,and domestic cattle. Lone wolves well eat smaller animals such as shrews, nuts ,berries, rabbit, hare, birds,voles, mice, woodchucks, and raccoons. Wolves hunt in packs because its easier to catch their food. first they closer until they scare their prey and make it start to run. then they start to chase the animal until finally they reach the animal and jump on its back and bring the animal down and all the wolves swarm around the dead animal and start to eat
This moose was a lot like Koskoosh because it was too old to keep up with its tribe as well. At the end of the story Koskoosh dies by being attacked by wolves. Koskoosh decided this was “The law of life”. (12) The setting of this story is a cold winter. Around this time the tribe is moving to a warmer place where they can find food.
Desiree Luther English III For more than 100 years, the gray wolf one of the most important members of the Yellowstone National Park Ecosystem, had been missing. The gray wolf was exterminated in the park area by hunters, ranchers, and some of the early park rangers. For several decades park biologists and scientists had discussed the possible reintroduction of the wolf to the park and surrounding areas. In mid-January 1995, fourteen wolves from many separate packs were captured in Canada and then transported into Yellowstone Park and placed into one-acre acclimation pens. The reason for not capturing an entire pack, or packs and moving them into Yellowstone was primarily because it would have been very difficult if not impossible.
It mates early in March and early April. Their gestation last 52 days with litters averaging seven pups but can have as many as 15 pups. The Arctic fox can be found in Northern and western Alaska, Northern Canada, northeast Alberta, northern Manitoba, northern Quebec, Russia, and Greenland. The arctic fox live mostly up North but there have been records that indicate the presence of the arctic fox down south. In the summer the arctic fox lives in the tundra at the edge of forest, while in the winter it can be found on ice floes where its white coat serves as camouflage.
Typically, both female bears have two or more cubs. The maximum life span for each bear is 20-30 years in the wild. Brown bears are widely known for their huge shoulder hump and shaggy fur coat, however, the black bear is known for his larger ears, pale muzzle and rounded back. They both can run 30-40 miles per hour. The black bear can climb trees while he is retreating, by contrast, the brown bear has to stand his ground because his claws are too small and improperly shaped, so they must respond to danger by warding off any would be attackers.
The species is adapted to a cool climate and has thick fur which grows up to 7.5 cm long in winter. Their coat is paler than other leopard subspecies, and turns lighter during the winter months to allow for camouflage in the snow. Males generally weigh 32-48 kg, but can weigh up to 75 kg. Females are smaller than the males at 25-43 kg. In the wild, they typically live for 10-15 years and they may reach 20 years in captivity.
Some hunters say that they can smell you from a mile away. Many hunters wear all kinds of cover scents while hunting, such as raccoon urine, fox urine, also buck and doe urine. Most hunters put the scent on their boots or on leaves around them. White-tailed deer are still a very shy and cautious animal. Running and sharp senses are their main defense (Zwaschka 11).
Wolves are smart. They are persistent and fierce predators. They hunt in groups, as a pack. Pack hunting by wolves stimulates fear in humans almost more than any other large predator, excepting the big cats (tigers, lions, cougars). Wherever wolves exist, they become the subject of mythology, and wherever there are wolves, there are people who fear them, hate them, and respect them.
