Ducking in the snow makes them look like big clumps of snow. Indeed theese white wolves are one of the beauty's of nature!

What do wolves hunt/eat?

Wolves
are carnivores (meat eaters). If food is scarce, wolves will eat other foreign
foods. Wolves' diet ranges from big game to little game and some little
critters.


When
it is time to eat the food the alpha male and the alpha female would eat first.
After the alpha male and alpha female eat, the remaining pack members will dig
in. Alpha male and female get the most food. The other wolves in the pack get
less food.


Wolves
eat there food very fast to avoid it from being stolen. That makes the chances
of losing their meal less. They eat the best parts of the carcass first, then
the wolves will come back later for the other parts. They will cache (hide) the
food in the snow or the icy soil, which will help preserve
it.


Wolves
can eat every five to six hours when there is plenty of food or they can live on
scraps for two weeks if there is less
food.


Wolves
eat several large animals such as moose, deer, elk, caribou, and musk oxen.
Wolves will also eat smaller animals such as beavers, rabbits, hares, voles,
fish, muskrats, lemmings, raccoons, shrews, woodchucks, shellfish, ground
squirrels, mice, and birds.


A
male wolf eats about twenty pounds of food in every kill that equals eighty
hamburger patties.
