Best Answer

A wolf hunts by scent on the trail or in the air most of the time. A wolf pack is usually a male and female wolf with their offspring. The pack is often on the move trotting through its territory. A wolf trots about 5 miles an hour and travels up to 30 miles a day hunting food. It often finds animals by smelling them as far away as 2 miles. Vision or sight often helps the wolf get food. A pack sees a herd of elk or deer and chases down one or more animals for food. A wolf can spot a rabbit or other animal moving away and can run up to 30 miles an hour to catch it. Wolf hearing is very good. The wolf hears sheep bleating or other livestock noises on its travels and follows the sounds to the animals. In winter a grown wolf can hear a rabbit or mouse moving under snow and digs it out for food. A wolf is drawn to the smell of carrion or dead meat. In Yellowstone National Park many large animals are killed by winter weather. A wolf seeks out the carcasses by smell.
