half a kilo, are born blind, deaf,
and completely dependent. Born
four to six pups per camada. the
pups reside in the den and stay
there until they are three
weeks old.

Territorial behiavor
Wolves are territorial animals. Studies have shown
that the average size of the territory of a herd is
of around 200 km2. The packs travel constantly in
search of prey, covering roughly 9 % of their
territory per day , 25 km / day. The core of their
territory is on average 35 km, where they spend 50%
of their time. Prey density tends to be much higher
in contiguous territories

senses
They can hunt both day and night thanks to
their acute sense of smell and vision Hawkeye,
low light, because their eyes have a tapetum
lucidum behind the retina. His long, powerful
muzzles help distinguish them from coyotes
and jackals, which have narrower snouts; and
dogs will usually have smaller. Wolves also
differ in certain cranial dimensions, having a
smaller orbital angle and a greater brain
capacity being calvaria 20% larger

Himalayan
Wolf
the Himalayan wolf comes from the
northern part of India. Until recently, it
was believed that all wolves and dogs
were part of the wolf-dog clade which
means all domesticated dogs come from
the wolf. When the Himalayan lineage
was studied it was found that the
Himalayan wolf did not share any genetic
markers with gray wolves or dogs. This
indicates that the Himalayan wolf plays
no role in the domestication of dogs.
