| A wolf is a large predator that depends for its survival on large prey, such as deer, elk, caribou, and in some parts of its range, moose and bison that tip the scales at more than a thousand pounds. It has powerful jaws capable of exerting about 1500 pounds per square inch, or about twice that of the domestic dog. It is accustomed to a feast and famine existence, often going many dayswithout eating and then gorging as much as 20 pounds in a single sitting. One of the wolf's most important roles in nature is to remove the sick and the weak, and in this way create a win-win relationship with its prey. The end result is a system which has succeeded for hundreds of thousands of years. Welcome to the Wolf Rescue Depot (Wolftrax, Haberty, Rosey and Prango) |
