    Interesting... When you look at the map and actually look at the mileage scale it

    doesn't seem that amazing. I guess i would assume that if the pack wants to

    survive it has to keep moving and as you look at the map ... most of there treks are

    a little over 10 miles. Wolves are amazing animals with a fascinating lifestyle. I

    wish they would be a little gentler on the northern WI deer population lol :D

    I kind of thought the same thing, but then I did a little more digging and the collar which is being used only takes a reading every 10-12 hours. So, while the map has point-to-point, as the bird flies lines, its nearly guaranteed that the wolves traveled even further than what was indicated on the map.

    Still amazing no matter how you look at it, though :)
