In the Description/Pelage section it says "Wolves in northern climates can rest comfortably in open areas at −40 °C (−40 °F) by placing their muzzles between the rear legs and covering their faces with their tail." Now -40°C and -40°F are definitely not the same. In the source it is written "...wolves can turn their backs to the wind and sleep comfortably in the open at forty degrees below zero." without specifying if it is Fahrenheit of Celsius. But elsewhere in the book, he writes: "In the Northwest Territories it may reach seventy degrees below zero or climb to ninety degrees on a summer day", which is clearly Fahrenheit. So I assume he uses Fahrenheit throughout the book, thus the text on this page should be changed to "4 °C (-40° F)" 109.253.179.218 (talk) 03:59, 9 September 2023 (UTC)
It is well known that Cougars, Bears, and Siberian Tigers prey on Wolves. That should be added to the article. 47.197.29.147 (talk) 16:02, 6 October 2023 (UTC)

Within the topic of "Behavior," under the subtopic "Social Structure," the final line of the section states: "one study concluding that 14–65% of wolf deaths in Minnesota and the Denali National Park and Preserve were due to other wolves." However, the study actually states that "39%—65% of total mortality" (Mech, 1998) was due to other wolves. The "14%" comes in the following sentences, in reference to human-caused deaths of wolves within the Denali population.
Additionally, the source referenced only refers to wolves in Denali, Alaska, stating nothing about wolves in Minnesota. Either an additional source should be added in reference to Minnesota, or it should be removed.
As the is a protected page, I cannot edit it myself. I suggest someone who can do so. BananaVendetta (talk) 03:58, 1 March 2024 (UTC)
