Until lately the Mexican Wolf no longer lived in the wild in the United States because it was hunted near to extinction. But with the help of the Fish and Wildlife Service it is back. They live mainly on meat from deer, moose, elk, or bison. But wolves do not eat humans. In fact there is no documented account of a healthy wolf ever attacking a person.
Wolves only kill to eat.
They need an average of 3 to 10 pounds of meat each day. Hunting is not always good so a wolf can eat as much as 22lbs. at a time or live on scraps for weeks. Wolves are mainly nocturnal hunters. They detect their prey by means of sent, tracking and chance encounters. Wolves usually go after the very young, very old, the weak, and the diseased animals because they are easier to catch.
