Wolves are social animals that depend on each other for food and protection.
A wolf pack, which will tend to stay together, can vary in number from a pair of animals to 10 wolves. Adult wolves share responsibility for caring for young. Wolves are generally afraid of people and avoid contact with them. Wolves can kill animals that are quite large, usually by isolating a weak or young animal, and chasing and attacking it in a group. Canadian wolves generally prey on elk.
