  3. Coyote - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coyote

    The so-called "eastern coyote" of northeastern North America probably originated in the aftermath of the extermination of gray and eastern wolves in the northeast, thus allowing coyotes to colonize former wolf ranges and mix with the remnant wolf populations. This hybrid is smaller than either the gray or eastern wolf, and holds smaller ...

  4. Pack (canine) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pack_(canine)

    The majority of wolves are known for dispersing from their birth pack; this makes measuring attachment behavior within the packs difficult. [9] There are cases in which wolves leave their pack, typically when accompanying siblings of the same sex. [9] This behaviour is suggested to be adaptive, which will benefit pack mates in future conflicts. [9]

  6. Coywolf - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coywolf

    Coyotes and wolves hybridized in the Great Lakes region, followed by an eastern coyote expansion, creating the largest mammalian hybrid zone known. [16] Extensive hunting of gray wolves over a period of 400 years caused a population decline that reduced the number of suitable mates, thus facilitating coyote genes swamping into the eastern wolf ...

  8. Red wolf - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_wolf

    Using long-term data on red wolf individuals of known pedigree, it was found that inbreeding among first-degree relatives was rare. [24] A likely mechanism for avoidance of inbreeding is independent dispersal trajectories from the natal pack. Many of the young wolves spend time alone or in small non-breeding packs composed of unrelated individuals.

  9. Hunting behavior of gray wolves - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Hunting_behavior_of_gray_wolves

    The wolf must give chase and gain on its fleeing prey, slow it down by biting through thick hair and hide, and then disable it enough to begin feeding. [4] After chasing and then confronting a large prey animal, the wolf makes use of its 6 cm (2 + 1 ⁄ 2 in) fangs and its powerful masseter muscles to deliver a bite force of 28 kg/cm 2 (400 lbf/in 2), which is capable of breaking open the ...
