A Wolf In The Snow, Yellowstone National Park

"Wolves are highly social animals and live in packs. Worldwide, pack size will depend on the size and abundance of prey. In Yellowstone, average pack size is 10 individuals.

Packs defend their territory from other, invading packs by howling and scent-marking with urine.
