Wolves are very social creatures. They maintain territories. And even though there is recognition of relatives, there um are debates about how do you acquire new territory. So this battle usually does result in a give and take of boundaries. There's expansion or shrinking of home ranges. And then there's usually conflict, either around resources or tory usage. There's a lot of wolf drama.
