How many wolves live in one area?

If the human does not intervene and pursue the wolf, the number of wolves in an area ultimately depends on the quantity and size of the prey. The more food is available to the wolves, the more can live in one area. Conversely, if the loot supply decreases, the wolves will also be fewer. In many areas, Create inexpensive storage solutions using PVC pipe to declaim and organize any space on a home … Continue reading “How many wolves live in one area?”

If the human does not intervene and pursue the wolf, the number of wolves in an area ultimately depends on the quantity and size of the prey. The more food is available to the wolves, the more can live in one area. Conversely, if the loot supply decreases, the wolves will also be fewer.
In many areas, where the wolf is at home today, are about every wolf 100 square kilometers available. In America, under particularly favorable feeding conditions, there is even a density of one wolf per wolf 25 square kilometers counted. That's not much either.
Let's say for example, that all of Germany would be available as a habitat for wolves. The total area of ​​the Federal Republic is slightly more than 350 000 square kilometers in size. Under the most favorable conditions could then straight 14 000
wolves live here. In comparison: The number of people in the Federal Republic is currently about 80 millions – these are 230 people per square kilometer. That would be 5750 people up 25 square km, where just one wolf could live. Why can there be so many more people than wolves in one area?? It has to do with that, that we humans no longer use only what is in nature as hunters and gatherers, which grows again every year, but to change them as farmers, that we achieve ever higher yields. We also import many foods from other countries. That's why we can feed so many more people today. One has calculated, that at the end of the Ice Age, when we were all hunters, on today's area of ​​the Federal Republic of Germany 10 000 people could have lived, so about as many humans as wolves. But now live here 80 Millions of people and just a few wolves. So the conditions have changed!
