There has never been a documented case of a wolf attack on a person in North America. Wolves are generally shy animals and avoid people.

You attack someone by going to attack on your navigation bar. Then Click on Attack a player and you can either find players to attack, or you can simply put someone in and attack them.

Yes, wolves usually mate for life. Generally only the alpha wolves in a pack mate. On occasion, the alpha wolves may mate with other wolves in the pack, but this is often a rarity.

There are three species of wolves in the world: the gray wolf (Canis lupus), the red wolf (Canis rufus) and the Ethiopian (or Abyssinian) wolf, (Canis simensis). Some researchers believe the Ethiopian wolf is not a wolf, but actually a jackal.

Wolves usually live in packs which consist of the adult parents, referred to as the alpha pair, and their offspring of perhaps the last 2 or 3 years. The adult parents are usually unrelated and other unrelated wolves may sometimes join the pack.

Pack size is highly variable because of birth of pups, dispersal, and mortality. Generally, a gray wolf pack has from six to eight wolves, but in Alaska and northwestern Canada some packs have over 30 members. Red wolf packs are generally smaller than gray wolf packs and usually have 2 to 8 members, but a pack of 12 is known in the wild.

Wolves breed at slightly different times, depending on where they live. For example, gray wolves in the Great Lakes Region breed in February to March, while gray wolves in the Arctic may breed slightly later in March to April.

The average length (tip of nose to tip of tail) of an adult female gray wolf is 4.5 to 6 feet; adult males average 5 to 6.5 feet. The average height (at the shoulder) of a gray wolf is 26 to 32 inches. The average length (tip of nose to tip of tail) of an adult red wolf is 4.5 to 5.5 feet. The average height (at the shoulder) of an adult red wolf is about 26 inches.

Gray wolves prey primarily on large, hoofed mammals such as white-tailed deer, mule deer, moose, elk, caribou, bison, Dall sheep, musk oxen, and mountain goat. Medium sized mammals, such as beaver and snowshoe hare, can be an important secondary food source. Occasional wolves will prey on birds or small mammals.

According to scientists, there are three known pure lineages of the Mexican wolf: McBride, Ghost Ranch and Aragon. Geneticists have verified that each of the three lineages consist of purebred Mexican wolves. Regarding the free-ranging population, there have been two incidents of Mexican wolf-dog hybrid litters conceived in the wild, one occurring in New Mexico and the other on the Fort Apache Indian Reservation in Arizona.

Generally, people who have epilepsy but who have been seizure-free for 12 months or more should be able to drive. Some states issue restrictive licenses that limit the times of day and distance that people with epilepsy may legally drive.

Blindness and visual impairment most often occur later in life when diminished tactile sensitivity makes learning braille difficult. For persons who have been unable to read print from an early age, however, braille is a very important key to literacy. Among this population, the use of braille is very common.

Yes, more people have committed suicide. In a report from the year 2000, The World Health Organization stated that one person commits suicide every 40 seconds, that one person is murdered every 60 seconds, and that one person dies in armed combat every 120 seconds. In 2000, 815,000 to 1 million people took their own lives. Yes, this statistic is cited by the National Institue of Mental Health on its website and is taken from: Conwell Y, Brent D.

of all alligator attacks are provoked. By feeding an alligator in the wild you are actually provoking an attack. Alligators can associate humans with food and people may be attacked because someone else has fed the alligator.

Incidents between people and bears in Denali are few. In the 23 cases of bear-induced human injury, only two cases involved sleeping campers. Both parties were camped without a tent, and one was camped near a dead moose as well. Bears are curious animals and will investigate odd things with their mouth and paws. While such investigating could potentially injure a human, it is not considered an attack and the bear will usually run at the first sign of a human activity.

Alarmist newspapers have frightened many women from taking hormones their bodies made naturally all of their reproductive lives. The press screamed a 26% increase in breast cancer risk in the Women's Health Initiative study. What they did not say was that of 10,000 women taking Prempro, only eight more would develop breast cancer and only seven more would have heart attacks. Women, however, are no longer willing to accept any unnecessary risks nor should they.

Generally, wolves do not attack humans. There have only been a handful of recorded wild wolf attacks on humans in North America, and no lethal attacks have ever been confirmed. (In the rare instance that a wolf approaches in a threatening manner, stand your ground. Never run or turn your back, as such behavior is typical of prey. Make noise and throw objects at the wolf.) The most important thing to remember about wolves—and other wild animals—is that they should NEVER be fed.

If you do a simple internet search you will find tourism operators who would be happy to provide paying customers with the opportunity to shoot wolves, including in the Algonquin area. Presumably this is for trophy purposes as most people don't eat wolves and the fur is not worth much (a pelt will get you about $25). The Ontario government, in its "Hunt Ontario" brochure (available at: http://www.mnr.gov.on.ca/MNR/pubs/pubmenu.

All our venues have access for disabled people. Where appropriate we have installed wheelchair ramps, toilets and designated viewing areas for auditoriums.

No. Although the wolf survives as an endangered species in a handful of states, from 7,500 to 10,000 wolves populate Alaska — from the most remote wilderness region to the suburbs of our largest cities. Because so much of this state is undeveloped, with more than 160 million acres permanently set aside in protected status (an area larger than California), the wolf is assured of a permanent home in Alaska.

Adult female gray wolves in northern Minnesota weigh between 50 and 85 pounds, and adult males between 70 and 110 pounds. Gray wolves are larger in the northwestern United States, Canada, and Alaska where adult males weigh 85 to 115 pounds and occasionally reach 130 pounds.

The massive molars and powerful jaws of a wolf are used to crush the bones of its prey. The biting capacity of a wolf is 1,500 pounds of pressure per square inch. The strength of a wolf's jaws makes it possible to bite through a moose femur in six to eight bites. In comparison, a German shepherd has a biting pressure of 750 pounds per square inch. A human has a much lower biting pressure of 300 pounds per square inch.

Gray wolves in the wild have an average life span of 6 to 8 years, but have been known to live up to 13 years in the wild and 16 years in captivity. Red wolves in the wild have an average life span of 8 to 9 years, but have been known to live up to 12 years in the wild and 16 years in captivity.

The natural causes of wolf mortality are primarily starvation, which kills mostly pups, and death from other wolves because of territory fights. While not usually a big problem, disease such as mange and canine parvovirus can be a concern in small and recovering populations. Injuries caused by prey results in some deaths. Human-caused mortality including legal, illegal, and accidental causes, can be high in some populations.

Wolves will travel for long distances by trotting at about five miles per hour. They can run at speeds of 25 to 35 miles per hour for short bursts while chasing prey.

Wolves may travel 10 to 30 miles each day in search of food. Dispersing wolves, those leaving packs in search of their own mate, have been known to travel distances of 550 miles away form their home territory. Our website contains several pages on wolves, as well as PDF files of maps and scientific papers related to the topics discussed.

No. Factors such as race, gender, age, income, or celebrity status are never considered when determining who receives an organ. The organ allocation and distribution system is based on many factors including blood type, length of time on waiting list, geographical location, severity of illness and other medical criteria. There is NO way to buy a place on the waiting list.
