Movements and Behavior of a Wolf Pack in Alaska
Burkholder BL. 1959. Movements and Behavior of a Wolf Pack in Alaska. The Journal of Wildlife Management. 23(1):1-11
This paper reports on part of a broad wolf study program now being conducted in Alaska for the purpose of managing the wolf, Canis lupus, concurrent with other wildlife interests. This part of the study concerns the activity of a group of 10 wolves observed continually over a period of 6 weeks, March 11 through April 22, 1958. These wolves were kept under observation by use of aircraft as long as snow cover was sufficient for tracking from the air. Trips by the observer were made as frequently as practical and averaged two 2-day trips a week. Dead game animals were inspected on the ground whenever possible to determine the sex, age, and physical condition of the animal, cause of death, pattern of attack, and other pertinent information.
