Duration of visit by single and paired wolves at Eureka dump in sumrner. den with three cubs mi ( km) northwest of the dump: between them they were responsible for 27 (67%) of the total 40 recorded visits. A male from this pack, easily distinguished by a limp in his right hind leg, was seen at the dump 20 times (alone on 11 occasions and with a companion on 9). There was a marked increase in the frequency of his visits between June (when he was seen five times on 4 days) and August (seen 13 times on 8 days). Of the seven wolves not from this pack, one pair of males was seen twice on 1 day only, in June, arriving from the west and departing southeast across the fiord; and one I-year-old wolf of unknown sex was seen once only on the same day, also arriving from the west and leaving southeast. One female was seen three times in June, arriving from and departing southeast over the fiord ice each time. One pair (male and female), together with a third wolf which did not join them on the dump, was seen once only in July. They arrived from the north, chased off a pair of the "den pack" wolves, and eventually departed east. Finally, one female was seen on four occasions in August, always arriving from and departing east. The evidence indicates that two categories of wolf visited the dump: local wolves in whose normal range the dump was included, and who visited it frequently; and non-local wolves which were "passing through" the area and were not regular visitors. In winter the male with a limp was seen at the dump with a group of seven wolves. This group was presumably the same "den pack," with grown cubs, seen the preceding summer. The male was identified on 19, 23, and 25 February, and 11 March. Assuming the wolves seen on 20. Please note that these images a
