Diet
| Wolves are carnivores,(meaning they eat meat). their diet consists of mainly deer, moose, elk, and bison. they also will eat beavers, rabbits and mice. contrary to what some people belive wolves are no threat to humans, and will not eat them. wolves only kill to eat, they only kill what they need. wolves are capable of eating up to 22 pounds of meat., this is because their bodies are designed to go long periods without feeding. on average a wolf only reqiures 3- 10 pounds of meat each day. a wolf requires one to three quarts of water each day. when hunting wolves will generally prey on the weak,(ex old young, sick, ect.) ocasionally they will catch a stronger animal but will mostlikely move on to other prey. most of the time wolves hunt at night. ocasinally wolves will eat bugs and berries. |
