A pack of Gray Wolves is a common sight in Yellowstone National Park, some being a small group of about five which usually consists of a male, female and children. A pack can vary from about 2 to 20 wolves, but the majority of packs have about 8 in them.

Gray wolves are territorial and can cover an area of approximately 25 kilometers a day where they are constantly searching for prey. Once a pack is formed and their territory is established, it is rare that another wolf is accepted into this pack. To ensure gray wolves remain in their own territories, the wolves use scent markings and communicate by howling.

As a pack, Gray wolves will hunt down medium to large animals such as sheep, goats, pigs, deer, antelope, caribou, horses, moose and bison.
