In 1967, a magnitude 7.1 earthquake caused extensive damage along the North Anatolian fault just east of the current shock. The 900 km-long North Anatolian fault has many characteristics similar to California's San Andreas fault. These two faults are right-lateral, strike-slip faults having similar lengths and similar long-term rates of movement.
Wolves are carnivores, or meat eaters. Gray wolves prey primarily on ungulates â large, hoofed mammals such as white-tailed deer, mule deer, moose, elk, caribou, bison, Dall sheep, musk oxen, and mountain goats. Medium-sized mammals, such as beaver and snowshoe hares, can be an important secondary food source.
Gray wolf pack characteristics: Gray wolves are social animals. They usually live and hunt in packs of six to 10 members and often range over long distancesâup to 12 miles or moreâin a single day. Typically, several members of a wolf pack will hunt together, cooperating to pursue and bring down large prey.oday, the gray wolf's North American range has been reduced to Canada and parts of Alaska, Idaho, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, Oregon, Utah, Washington, Wisconsin and Wyoming.
