Wolf Population By: Lily Smoot

Wolf Increase If the population of the wolfs predators just all of a sudden disappeared than the wolf population would just keep increasing and then there would be too many wolves.

Wolves of North America Before the arrival of European settlers, wolves ranged widely across the continent, from coast to coast and from Canada into Mexico. Two species were found in North America, the gray wolf lived throughout most of the United States, Canada, and Mexico, and the red wolf lived only in the southeastern United States.

The Wolf Pack The pack is an extended family group that usually includes a dominant male and female. These animals are referred to as the alpha pair. The pack also has the young wolves that were born that year and sometimes a few older wolves that may or may not be related to the alpha pair. Pack sizes vary considerably, depending on the size of the wolf population in a particular area and the amount of food available.

Wolves Prey A wolf eats animals like moose, caribou, and other deer-like animals, when food is hard to find, they will eat rodents, also the pack members will track down a herd and select an old, sick, or young animal to eat.
