A wolf pack is a social group of wolves that typically consists of a family unit. The pack usually includes a breeding pair, known as the alpha male and alpha female, along with their offspring. Packs can range in size from just a few members to over a dozen, depending on the availability of food and habitat. Wolves in a pack work together to hunt, raise young, and defend their territory. They communicate through vocalizations, body language, and scent marking. This social structure helps them increase their chances of survival in the wild by coordinating efforts during hunts and protecting each other from threats.
