They follow this scent until they are close to the animal. Next, each member takes its place in a circle. The younger and faster wolves cut off any escape routes, hoping to surround the prey. When the prey senses the wolves closing in, they run and the chase begins. Injuries and even the lives of the wolves are at stake when the chase is on.
Wolves can trip and hurt themselves.
They can try to jump over logs and land on branches that stick out. In addition, deer and moose can puncture their skin with their antlers. Wolves' jaws are well suited to catch prey. They are very strong. The long, pointed teeth in the front sides of a wolf's jaws are useful for grabbing and holding onto prey.
