Marking Territory
Each family pack has a hunting territory of its own, and the pack wanders around the territory looking for prey. They sometimes travel 40 to 60 miles a day looking for food. But most of the time they don't have to go that far before they find something. By having territories, wolves also spend less time fighting other packs, which gives them more time to raise young and hunt for food. Territory sizes range from 50 to 150 square miles or more. Wolves leave fresh scent posts, or messages, marking the boundaries of its territories, by urinating.
