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.
The gray wolf can range from 60 to 175 pounds and reach a length of 6 feet from muzzle to tail. Because their natural range consisted of most of the Northern Hemisphere, gray wolves are highly adaptable and live in a wide range of habitats.pring and fall temperatures range from mild to severe, 30 to 60 degrees Fahrenheit is common. During the spring, the gray wolf's prey is becoming more active, creating a better chance of a meal for the pack. Breeding occurs during spring, anywhere from January to April depending on how far north the wolves are.
