About#92: Nice photo ! Do the indian wolwes at last live in (small) group ? Or are they solitary ?

Seems that they live in a smaller groups than other relatives subspecies. In fact, is estimate that there are around 2000-3000 wolves in India; judging the large state with many wildlife reserves and large uncontamined habitats, the population is very low. In Italy is estimated a population around 2000-2500 wolves.

Yes quite agree, with one difference...Among wild animals in Italy, the wolf is the top predator. In India, taking into account the tigers, leopards, bears, hyenas, dholes (often in big prides) and so on, the wolwes don't have an easy life. Without a doubt they are smart enough to adapt, but most indian animal sanctuaries being not big (average 50-200 km2), - outside the sanctuary, the human pressure prevails - I imagine that the indian wolf must be a discreet canid even more so if they live in small groups.
