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

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.
