wolf Injuries
Wölfe can get injuries from large prey Tiere that defend themselves, when the pack attacks a large moose oder bison they can receive injuries from kicks and if the prey had antlers oder horns it can cause a lot of damage. Wölfe can be trampled under the hooves, Artist George Catlin reported an 1844 attack on a buffalo Von a pack of Wölfe in which two of the Wölfe had been crushed to death under the hooves of the animal.
Man also causes injuries to wolves, leg-hold traps, illegal hunting, Wölfe being hit Von cars (rare), poisoning (one wolf was known to die from drinking from a antifreeze spill on the road).
Other wolf injuries are caused Von falls from rock ledges, drowning in schnell, swift rivers, fights with other Wölfe (territory disputes oder near mating season), attacks Von bears, infections from porcupine quills. In Denali National park in Alaska two Wölfe were killed in an avalanche.
Diseases and Parasites
Wölfe are susceptible to Mehr than one hundred diseases and parasites, including roundworm, tape worm, flatworm, mange, mites, ticks, fleas, distemper, cataracts, oral papillomatosis, tularemia, bovine tuberculosis, arthritis, cancer, rickets, pnumonia, Lyme disease, and many other ailments.
External parasites tend to be less of a problem in the cold northern regions
Mange
Mange is caused Von tiny mites that attach themselves to a wolfs pelz oder skin, In Sarcoptic mange, intense itching is caused Von the female mites' burrowing under the skin to lay eggs. In demodectic mange, the mites live in the pores of the skin and cause little oder no itching. The symptoms of mange include skin lesions, crusting, and pelz loss. Wölfe that suffer mange in the winter are in danger of freezing to death.
Distemper
Canine distemper is a very contagious disease caused Von a microscopic virus. The disease is often centers on the skin, eye membranes, and intestinal tract, and occasionally the brain. Symptoms include fever, loss of appetite, and a discharge from the eyes and nose. Diarrhea and dehydration may follow, in the final stages seizures may occur.
Rabies
Contrary to beliebt myth, rabies is very rare in wolves. This was not the case a century ago. Most rare cases today are cause my contracting the disease from skunks, raccoons, bats, oder foxes. (Ninety-eight percent of rabies today in North America is from them)

Has tales to tell,
The legends and lore
He knows so well.
From survival and feasting
On the vast plain,
From blinding blizzards
And torrential rain.
They have seen it all
As the Indians have,
Almost extinct
As the buffalo calf.
Beautiful creatures
Who stand with pride,
Few do live
And most have died.
His last request
Is a howl at the moon,
Telling his brothers
We'll be extinct real soon.
If Du look into his eyes
Du will see a tear,
His howl he bellows
Is all Du will hear.
If mankind would stop
And try to save,
The wolf would flourish
Again one day.
Let's save these beautiful
Mystical eyes,
To tell Mehr tales
That are so wise.
The eyes of the wolf
Has tales to tell,
His howl at the moon
We know so well.
