ABSTRACT

Gray wolves (Canis lupus) show socialization throughout the process of prey, communication and reproduction. Due to the environment of the habitat and characteristic of the prey, acting in group size has an advantage in the subsistence of gray wolves. This survey focuses on cooperation, communication and competition within gray wolves’ packs. In this survey, we discuss the aforementioned behaviors found in scent marking, hunting, reproduction, etc. The differences between the independent and the pack wolves are also discussed in this survey.
