Wolf Prey

Here are some pictures as well as info. on wolf prey, or what they hunt/eat. Also know, that only 30 percent, or 1 out of 3 hunts ARE successful. So there hunting rates aren't really that high. Wolves hunt in packs to catch larger prey. Lone wolves or smaller/weaker/older wolves will hunt small prey. Wolves will not even follow injured prey into another wolf packs territory. Instead, they will abandon the chase and leave the prey for the other pack to hunt, kill, and eat. IMPORTANT NOTE: Wolves ONLY prey on weak, young, injured, sick, or old animals/prey. They are a VERY important part of the ecosystem. And there has NEVER been a report of a healthy wolf EVER attacking a human being. And Wolves DO NOT eat/attack humans. As a matter of fact, they try to get as far away from humans as possible.

SMALL PREY

Rabbit
Rabbit is defiantly one of THE hardest prey to catch for a wolf. Epically an older wolf, because of their quickness. Rabbits make a small snack for a wolf. Wolves will normally hunt rabbit when there is really nothing else to hunt, because they are so hard to catch, and use up allot of energy.

Mice
Mice are very small and some-what easy to catch. Mice allot of the times scurry across a wolf's clearing, and if spotted, will maybe be hunted down, or just played with. Wolves like to play with the mice, and afterwards, possibly kill it to eat. Mice aren't very filling at all, but when food is scarce, sometimes that’s all you have to eat.

Fish
Yes! Wolves do go fishing, not often, but they LOVE to swim and play in the water as well as hunt in it. The skill of catching fish is a great one at that. Wolves hunt for fish whenever the creeks/streams/and rivers are not frozen. Mostly in the spring ^.^

Squirrel
Squirrel is any other smaller form of food. When food is scarce then they will hunt squirrel. Squirrel is a bit hard to catch, seeing how they spend allot of time in tree's and such. But when they come down to scavenge for food, that is the best time to hunt them.

Beaver
Wolves sometime end up eating beavers because of lack of food. They normally don't eat beavers, but if there is a food scarce, they would eat a beaver if they could. AS AN ADULT, WEIGHS ROUGHLY: 50-60 lbs.

LARGE PREY

Moose

Moose, are difficult to catch, because of there hooves, massive weight, and they move in herd. Yet, the young, weak, injured, and old will stand out the most to a wolf. What wolves normally do while hunting such a large animal, is keep the huge herd moving. Thus the injured, weak, sick, young will fall out of the herd and the wolves have a "chance" at catching the prey. AS AN ADULT, WEIGHS ROUGHLY: 800-1500 lbs.

Elk

Like moose, they weight is massive, they have very tough and heavy hooves, which means danger for a wolf. Depending on where the territory of a wolf ranges from, moose is more likely to be seen then elk, in most cases (but not all).

Deer

Deer is one of the most hunted prey within the forest, like moose and elk, they have hooves and powerful hind legs which could some major damage to a wolf. They hunt the weak, sick, injured, and old does/bucks. As well as fawns (Baby Deer). AS AN ADULT, WEIGHS ROUGHLY: 250-300 lbs.

Bison

Depending on where a wolf lives and how far its territory ranges, if bison are in the area, they will be hunted like moose or any other big game. Bison are extremely heavy in weight and have powerful hind legs as well. They run in herds. AS AN ADULT, WEIGHS ROUGHLY: 1000-2000 lbs.

~ I Am Wolf ~

I am wolf, I am one of a kind
I have been here since ancient time
Wakan Tanka Blesses me to be
My kind will always run wild and free

It is my nature to avoid you, I am human shy
You hunt me from helicopters across the sky
Then you shoot at me as I try to flee ... Why?
Why does your kind wish my species to die?
We wolves run together in a family pack
Always guarding ourselves against attack
I do not attack your home or farm
I only attack when you intend wolf harm

Wolf has no markets or stores for food supply
We hunt the forests and where open fields lie
You speak and spread your untrue words
That we attack your live stock and herds
Why does man wish to kill wolf by his lying?
We only take lives of old, weak and already dying
You hunt and kill for sport and greed
We only hunt when our families have need

You place animal head trophies upon your wall
to make your egos walk vain and tall
Wolf needs no trophies for others to see
We only wish to live and preserve our family ...
We mate for life and survival just as you ...
We grieve for our lost ones same as you do
Why can we not share a new dawn ....
Let me be free to howl the moon my song

Loyalty and courage shines from my eyes
I am spirit of the wild that never dies
I am brother wolf, asehi ... I am he
I will always run the winds free ...
