Wolfs travel in packs because they depend on each other to live. The also travel in packs so finding a mate would be easier, and they travel in packs because catching prey would be easier and getting more would be too.

They hunt prey much larger than then and they need all the help they can get!
Wolves cooperate to capture game by hunting in packs. The larger game animals are run to exhaustion before they are killed. Single wolves do not have the endurance to do this, so the members of the pack spell each other (like a relay team) to tire the prey.

After the animal is dead the wolves need the pack to keep the food safe from scavengers like ravens. While some wolves eat others protect, then they switch roles so the protectors can eat.

A wolf pack is pretty much a family group of a male and a female parent, their cubs of the year, plus their older offspring who have not dispersed. Rarely, they allow another wolf to join the pack. Individuals can spend time alone, but pack members come together to defend their territory, raise and defend the cubs and hunt large prey. A wolf pack is a large family of wolves living together. Why do they do this? Simply because they cannot be solitary. A wolf cast out of the pack will wander until it can find a new pack to belong to. Very often an adult male will be cast out of the pack to make a new one in a separate territory.
That's just the way it is; all animals live in different types of categories. They don't live IN packs, but they tend to go around in packs. No one ever said it was false, just that when we say "some wolves" we more oftenly say "a pack of wolves" its just common.

When wolves hunt in packs they can take down creatures that are much larger and stronger than they are. This means they have a wider variety of what they eat. Some wolves do hunt by themselves, by prefer to live in packs. When wolves hunt in packs they can take down creatures that are much larger and stronger than they are.
