wolves don't need to drink water often the reason is that they often live in tundra regions where there's little free flowing water so like many animals they adapt to their surroundings most of their water needs are met through the meat they consume and the chemical process of digesting it most animals are 60 to 80% water but still it's surprising that a wolf can go without drinking water right their bodies have simply evolved to conserve and recycle water wolves do sometimes drink water especially if they've been exerting themselves they will even fight with other packs to control a free flowing stream however they are fully equipped to go without it when necessary
