gray wolf
Gray wolf (Canis lupus).
A gray wolf pack’s territory can range from 80 to 3,000 square km (31 to 1,200 square miles). The specific size of the territory depends largely on the abundance of available prey in the area. Packs vigorously defend these territories against neighboring packs using vocalizations, such as howling, and scent marking with urine and feces.123
