Timber wolves are carnivores feeding on other animals. A study in the early 1980's showed that the diet of Wisconsin wolves was comprised of 55% white-tailed deer, 16% beavers, 10% snowshoe hares and 19% mice, squirrels, muskrats and other small mammals. Wolves' food habits change with seasonal shifts in the availability of prey species. For example, beavers spend a lot of time on shore in the fall and spring, cutting trees for their food supply. Since beavers are easy to catch on land, wolves eat more of them in the fall and spring than during the rest of the year. In the winter, when beavers are in their lodges or moving safely beneath the ice, wolves rely on deer and hares. Wolves' summer diet is more diverse, including a greater variety of small mammals.

Timber wolves are large canines that use their extraordinary sense of smell to find their prey and their speed and endurance to run it down, When the prey tires they kill it usually by ripping out the throat and causing it to bleed to death. wolves have become endangered because they are feared by farmers and ranchers for the destruction they can cause to domestic livestock. Many were poisoned and shot as the westward expansion of the US occurred. Also contributing to their decline was the reduction of their normal prey by hunting and habitat destruction.
