  • Wolves live together in packs of about 6-12 animals, and coordinate their hunts for food.
  • A wolf will communicate with other wolves by howling, signaling to its pack its location, or warning other wolves away from its territory.
  • 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 dens sites, and where to hunt for food. They are usually the only wolves in a pack to have offspring, having litters of an average size of 4-6 pups. Even so, all members of the entire pack will take care of them, feed them and protect them from harm.
  • A wolf can eat very large amounts of food at a time, when food is available. An adult can consume up to twenty pounds of meat in one sitting, since food can be scarce, especially during winter months.
  • Wolves can cover a lot of ground in one day, often traveling 10-12 miles per day within its territory. A wolf can sprint up to 38 miles per hour over short distance.
