Abstract

ABSTRACT During summer 2005, we evaluated space and habitat use by red wolves (Canis rufus) during pup‐rearing. Home‐range sizes for red wolves (3 ad, 3 juv, and 4 pups) varied from 3.48 km2 to 12.24 km2. Red wolves selected agricultural fields over adjacent forested areas and used less space during pup‐rearing than we expected based on prior knowledge of the species. Attending pack members rarely left pups alone, pack members shared pup‐rearing duties, and male red wolves appeared to play a significant role in pup‐rearing.
