i always think of them as carnivores but a recent study and some new pictures may change my view  grey wolf eats watermelon but anyways i will do the same comparosion i always do  carnivore teeth [hyena]  omnivore teeth [human]  and just for laughs  herbivore teeth [deer] |

Interesting thread.
I have seen studies suggesting both. I can post them when I have access

Two instances of wolves eating fruits do not prove that they are not carnivores (I'm sure there are more instances, but that doesn't really matter; read on). They may have retained some ability to grind such material with their molars and they may supplement their diet with meat, but they are still for the most part carnivorous.
Edit: the study dinosauria101 linked below proves my point.

i dont know if wolves are omnivores , because they do eat plants but they cannot substain off of plants or get any nutrients from it. |

Honestly, they are still carnivorous.

Honestly, they are still carnivorous. i agree , a wolf is just as omnivorus as a cow is for eating a baby chick , they do eat small amounts of plants , but so do most carnivores , most carnivores will eat very small amounts of plants when their stomachs are upset for example , many herbivores , such as cows , will often swallow small insects while grazzing . |

Based on their diet
99.9% meat (mostly sheep’s , rabbits and deers)
1/0% plants (mostly fruit and berries)
Not enough evidence to class them as a omnivore IMO , not to mention even if they eat plants they cannot metabolize things omnivores can like plant fibers.
