Soon it turned and walked off; immediately the wolf, with bristling hair, crawled after, and with a pounce seized it by the haunch, and would doubtless have murdered the bleating, struggling creature, had not the bystanders interfered.
Where there are no domestic animals, wolves feed on almost anything from a mouse to an elk.

They are redoubted enemies of foxes.

They are easily able to overtake them in fair chase, and kill numbers.

If the fox can get into the underbrush, however, he can dodge around much faster than the wolf, and so escape pursuit.

Sometimes one wolf will try to put a fox out of a cover while another waits outside to snap him up.
