Expectations that the return of wolves to Yellowstone National Park would make the ecosystem whole again with the return of the apex predator have not been fulfilled, as vegetative imbalances remain across the park, according to recent research.

If you live in an area where wolves are becoming more abundant, you might ask yourself: what do wolves eat?

Whether theyre chasing big game, stomping smaller animals, or even fishing, how wolves hunt depends on their prey and pack size.
