Wolves in Wyoming are once again being protected under the Endangered Species Act, just two years after those protections were taken away. A federal judge's ruling last week found the state's management plan for the animal “inadequate and un-enforceable.” In February, NPR’s Nate Rott took a comprehensive look at the wolf situation in the Western U.S.

Wolves At The Door

No, of course that's okay! :) That's what Tumblr is for. It's not like I own those facts, haha.

They can survive without food for long periods. I would say around a month. Two weeks without food will not weaken a wolf's muscle activity. A well fed wolf will store fat under the skin, around the heart, intestines, kidneys, and bone marrow. Also it depends on many things so it is hard to say. For example it depends on the season. In the winter it would take more meat to sustain because of movement, they are wasting energy following herds of prey and keeping body temperature also needs energy.

Thank you! :)

Wolves taxonomically belong to the order Carnivora, but they actually are omnivorous! The majority of a wolfs diet is meat but very often they don't have a choice and will have to eat things like plants, berries, fungi etc.
