Gray WOLF eating habits.

The gray wolf feeds primarily on mammals larger than itself, including deer, moose, wapiti, and bison. 


Beavers are also consistently part of their diet. Gray wolves may hunt singly or in packs. Gray wolves require 2.5 kilograms of meat per day, or approximately one deer every eighteen days. 


However, a wolf may consume almost 10 kg of flesh at one feeding and can fast for two weeks between kills.


When a wolf is a loner, he will take smaller game, such as rabbits, squirrels, and even mice.
