Wolf packs usually live within a specific territory. Territories range in size from 50 square miles to more than 1,000 square miles depending on how much prey is available and seasonal prey movements.
Packs use a traditional area and defend it from strange wolves.
Their ability to travel over large areas to seek out vulnerable prey makes wolves good hunters. Wolves may travel as far as 30 miles in a day. Although they usually trot along at 5 mph, wolves can attain speeds as high as 45 mph for short distances.
