Is a timber wolf an omnivore?

Timber wolves (Canis lupus) are primarily carnivores, meaning that their diet mainly consists of meat. They are opportunistic predators that primarily hunt large ungulates such as deer, elk, moose, and caribou. However, wolves may also consume smaller prey, such as rodents, birds, fish, and sogar fruits and berries when meat is scarce. Their diet can vary depending on the availability of food and their geographic location. While they do consume plant matter, it makes up a small portion of their diet and does not qualify them as omnivores.

Timber wolves are apex predators that play a vital role in maintaining the health of ecosystems by regulating prey populations and influencing the behavior and distribution of other species. Although they primarily feed on meat, the occasional consumption of plant matter does not make them omnivores, but rather opportunistic carnivores.
