GPS Tracking Shows How Much Wolf Packs Avoid Each Other’s Range [Sphere's of influence anyone]
Earthly Mission ^ | Oct 14,2922 | Voyeur Wolf Project

Posted on 10/21/2022 9:22:25 AM PDT by AndyJackson

This image of GPS tracking of multiple wolves in six different packs around Voyageurs National Park was created in the framework of the Voyageurs Wolf Project. It is an excellent illustration of how much wolf packs in general avoid each other’s range.

....

As beautifully demonstrated by the animation, wolf packs generally avoid being around each other unless they are fighting for food that may be in short supply. When that occurs, they may engage in battles with other packs in order to continue have their claim on a given location as well as the food found within it.

Wolves may need to shift their territory due to human activity as well. When people clear out part of their natural habitat they may have to find a new route to get to their food sources. This can also create conflicts among the various wolf packs due to overstepping their bounds.

Best comment: The white pack are the stoners of this group. They travel half as much and stumble deep into other pack’s territories, a lot. They’re probably trying to bum some Doritos from their neighbours.

The important point here is that the predatory neocons don't get it about spheres of influence and declare they don't exist, but here we have apex predator wolves showing that spheres of influence very much exist and your pack thrives best when it sticks to its own territory.

Yes, especially the white packs who need to let all the other packs invade their territory while they try to take over the whole world.

“They travel half as much “

Perhaps last pack to get tracking devices.

On a serious note, thats some pretty cool data. Wonder what other pack/herd animal species behavior looks like that.

stoner wolves, Funny comment!

“sphere of influence “ Isn't that soft power?
Wolf packs operate on hard power. If they find a non pack member in their territory they usually kill it.

Don’t know what it proves.

But has been well know that wolf packs have a core area.

Now some one can say for sure.

I guess pi$$in’ on trees is a pretty effective way to mark your territory. . . .

It’s probably one of the reasons that dogs and humans hooked up so early; both often have a ‘home base’ from which they operate and an area around it for hunting. As well as cooperatively hunting.

"No, just smart."

One man's "smart" is another man's "racist."

Of course those who see reasoned decisionmaking and proclaim it "racist" usually themselves are virulently racist.

That's Sollozzo's group. He's backed by the Tattaglias, or is it the Barzinis? They better stay away from the Corleones.

Yup, and human tribes used to do the same thing. Forcing different tribes to live in the same area just doesn’t work. It doesn’t work with wolves, and it doesn’t work with human packs.
