However, there are some instances where other animals might prey on a timber wolf:
* Larger predators: In rare cases, a bear (especially a grizzly) or a mountain lion might kill a wolf, especially if the wolf is young, injured, or old.
* Other wolves: Wolf packs sometimes fight with each other over territory or resources, which can result in death.
* Humans: Humans are the most significant threat to wolves, as they are hunted and killed for various reasons, including protection of livestock.
It's important to note that these instances are relatively uncommon. Timber wolves are powerful animals, and they generally have no natural predators in their ecosystem.
