Wolves on the Hunt

Wolves are amazing team hunters! A single wolf is not big enough to take down a moose or elk, but a whole pack working together can! The pack uses strategy — some wolves chase the prey while others wait ahead to cut off escape routes. Wolves can run 35 miles per hour in short bursts and can jog at 5 mph for hours, wearing out their prey over long distances. They target animals that are sick, old, or young — this actually helps keep prey herds healthy by removing the weakest members!
