Are Wolves Omnivores

Are wolves an omnivore?

Data on the feeding ecology of wolves indicate that wolves are true carnivores consuming a negligible amount of vegetal matter. Wolves can experience prolonged times of famine during low prey availability while, after a successful hunt, the intake of foods and nutrients can be excessive.

Are wolves 100% carnivores?

Wolves are and have always been carnivores. This means that their primary type of food is meat, as they will try and catch almost any other animal they can find in their habitats. Sometimes, this means grouping up with other wolves and forming packs, which makes them more effective against larger animals of prey.
