Wolves are very territorial animals, and generally much more territory than they need to survive, a steady stream of production. Wolf packs travel constantly in search of prey, is about 9% of the territory on the day (on average 25 km / day or 15 mi / g). The smallest area on record was on six pack of wolves in northeastern Minnesota, which takes approximately 33 km2 (13 square miles), while the largest was held by Alaska wolf pack of ten covers 6272 km2 (2422 square miles). Wolf packs are usually resolved, and usually only used to reach their leave during the acute food shortages. Wolves defend their territory from other packages by combining the scent of the markings of direct attacks and the first (see Contact).

Some wolf packs, several females, so, as is the case in Yellowstone National Park. Age at first breeding of wolves is highly dependent on environmental factors, when food is abundant, or where wolf populations are controlled, wolf pups to bring in a younger age in order to make better use of abundant resources.
