Wolves work tremendously hard to patrol, defend and hunt even a small territory. Wolves are commonly on the move for eight hours a day and may travel 4,000 miles a year. Because they may eat only once every 5 to 10 days, they also take the concept of rest very seriously. A rocky
out-cropping such as this provides this pair with the opportunity to both conserve energy and survey a portion of their territory at the same time.
