Wolves live in forests, tundra, and grasslands. The animals they share space with depend on the location.
Predators
Coyotes, foxes, bears, lynx, and wolverines may share wolf territory.
Prey
Elk, moose, deer, caribou, bison, and musk oxen are common prey. Smaller mammals such as rabbits, hares, squirrels, mice, voles, and beavers are also eaten. Birds such as grouse and ptarmigan may be hunted.
Other Species
Birds of prey, rodents, and insects are part of the same ecosystem.
Wolves are apex predators that help maintain ecological balance by controlling prey populations.
