Papo Wild Life Wolf 50283

The gray wolf is not a solitary animal and must live in a pack in order to develop fully. The perfect social cohesion that prevails within the wolf packs allows them to hunt, occupy a territory and communicate without any effort. The pack is thus a family group, usually consisting of a dozen individuals. The pattern of a pack normally consists of a dominant pair and the cubs that gave birth years ago. Each pack has its own territory that it must defend against any intruder. The size of the territory of a pack of gray wolves varies depending on the food resources of the environment, but in principle covers no less than several hundred square kilometers. The boundaries of this area are marked by fragrant deposits to warn rival packs
