Territorial behiavor
Wolves are territorial animals. Studies have shown that the average size of the territory of a herd is of around 200 km2. The packs travel constantly in search of prey, covering roughly 9 % of their territory per day , 25 km / day. The core of their territory is on average 35 km, where they spend 50% of their time. Prey density tends to be much higher in contiguous territories
senses They can hunt both day and night thanks to their
acute sense of smell and vision Hawkeye, low light, because their eyes have a tapetum lucidum behind the retina.
