The Egyptian wolf inhabits a number of different habitats; in Algeria it lives in Mediterranean, coastal and hilly areas (including hedged farmlands, scrublands, pinewoods and oak forests), while populations in Senegal inhabit tropical, semi-arid climate zones including Sahelian savannahs.
Wolves live in territories of about 60 square miles. Gable said while dispersing wolves have been documented to travel hundreds of miles, most wolves live in a home range that is much smaller. In ...
