Wolves Are Family Animals
Adult gray wolves can survive on their own, and may need to for a while after leaving their birth packs. Wolves are highly social, however, and often mate for life once they do find a partner. This marks the beginning of a new wolf pack, or nuclear family, the basic social unit for wolves.Both gray and red wolves breed once per year in late winter or early spring, and both have a gestation period of about 63 days. They generally have four to six pups in a litter, which are born blind, deaf, and heavily dependent on their mother. Wolf pups are cared for by all members of the pack, though, including their parents and older siblings. They develop quickly, exploring outside the den after three weeks and growing to nearly adult size within six months. Wolves reach maturity at 10 months, but may stay with their parents for a few years before moving out.
They're Skilled Communicators, Too
Wolves do howl at night, but contrary to popular belief, these soulful calls have nothing to do with the moon. They convey long-distance messages to other wolves, who may be able to hear them from up to 10 miles away. Howling can help wolves assemble their pack, locate missing pack members, or defend territory, among other purposes.Wolves also make other vocalizations to communicate, such as growling, barking, whining, and whimpering. They use body language, too, including eye contact, facial expressions, and body posturing. These silent communication channels can be useful when hunting — a "gaze signal," for example, may help wolves coordinate during group hunts without making sounds that would alert their prey.8
Wolves' powerful sense of smell also plays a key role in their communication, letting them share information through multiple types of scent marking, including raised-leg urination, squat urination, defecation, and scratching.9
People and Dogs Seem to Stress Wolves Out
We may not be able to fully understand the emotional experience of another species, but studying cortisol levels in fecal samples is one way scientists can estimate stress in wild animals. Comparing those hormone levels with other data about the animals' daily lives might then point to sources of stress. In one study of 450 fecal samples from 11 wolf packs, for example, researchers found the death of a pack member likely induces "important stress in the remainder of the social unit."10Other research suggests wolves may be stressed by the presence of humans, at least in some contexts. They don't seem to like snowmobiles, according to a study conducted at three U.S. national parks, where gray wolves' fecal glucocorticoid levels were higher in areas and times of heavy snowmobile use.11 The presence of a local free-ranging dog population has also been linked to higher stress in wolves.10
Wolves Need a Lot of Space
Wolf packs need large territories to supply them with enough prey, but the size can vary widely depending on factors such as climate, terrain, prey abundance, and the presence of other predators.Gray wolf territories range in size from 50 to 1,000 square miles, according to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.12 Wolves can cover large areas while hunting, traveling up to 30 miles in a day. They primarily trot at about 5 mph, but can run as fast as 40 mph for short distances.
When did dogs split from wolves?
It's believed that dogs split from their wolf ancestors 27,000 to 40,000 years ago.14 They were certainly solidified as pets by the time of the first known dog burial 14,200 years ago.What's the difference between a wolf and wolverine?
Despite the similarities in their names, wolves and wolverines are vastly different. Wolves are canids whereas wolverines are weasels found in the arctic. The latter is rarer to see (because of its high north distribution) and looks more like a bear than a dog.What does it mean when a wolf howls?
Howling has nothing to do with the moon. Instead, it's a way for wolves to find each other, call an assembly, defend their territory, and communicate other messages to each other.How smart are wolves?
Despite countless intelligence tests pitting wolves and dogs against each other, the jury remains out on which is truly smarter. What we do know, however, is that wolves are incredibly clever animals with complex social systems. They've demonstrated abilities to educate their kin, care for injured packmates, and play.
