This study on the wolf interaction with their physical and biological environment was valuable rich in specific facts regarding the wolf in the wild. The appreciation of the quantity of food consumed by the wild wolf has blown my mind. As illustrated in the report a minimum of 4 pounds of food daily is necessary to maintain a wolf in his natural habitat.
The wolf population in the studied area is diverse and the distribution change base on the pack's ability to defend, feed or explore larger areas.
