They seldom are found in deserts or in the tropical forests. Most wolves live in the northern regions such as Alaska, Minnesota, Canada, China, and Russia. Wolves live in a specific area called a territory. A territory may cover 200 square miles to as little as 30 square miles. The size of the territory depends on the amount of food that the wolf has to eat in his territory.
Wolves mark their territory with scent.
Wolves are good hunters. They hunt day or night. They have excellent vision, a good sense of smell, and fine hearing. A wolf can see and smell a deer more than 1 mile away. Wolves have fangs than may grow 2 inches long.
