Habitat Use

The relative percentages of various habitats in which the translocated

wolves were found during aerial locations (Table 7) did not indicate a

preference for any particular habitat type. Evidently the animals chose

their travel routes and ranges on some basis other than forest habitat,

or at least habitat was not of any overriding importance in their

movements.
