How big are wolf territories?

0

Territory size varies widely and is influenced by pack size, the presence of other packs, and the availability and distribution of prey. Wolves usually do not tolerate non-pack members in their territory and defend their home ranges and the resources within them. Territories can be as small as a few square miles or as large as 1600 square miles.

Wolves have to search further for food where it is scarce, so territories will be larger in regions where there is not much prey. Territories can be as small as 100 km2 where prey are plentiful to over 2,000 km2 in the Arctic where prey are sparse.
