1. Wolves live together in packs. Packs have been numbered from two to as many as 36 wolves!
2. A wolf will communicate with other wolves by howling—signaling its location to its pack or warning other wolves away from its territory. They coordinate their hunts to get food.
3. One male wolf is always the leader of the pack, known as the alpha male, and his mate is second in command. They lead the pack by choosing den sites and where to hunt for food. They are usually the only wolves in a pack to have offspring, with litters averaging from 4-6 pups. Even so, the entire pack will take care of the pups, feeding them and protecting them from harm.
4. An adult wolf can eat substantial amounts of food at a time, consuming an average of 4.5 kg (10 lbs) of meat in one sitting, especially during winter months, when food can be scarce.
5. Wolves cover a lot of ground in one day, often traveling 80 km (50 miles) a day. A wolf can sprint up to 61 km/h (38 mph) over short distances.
