摘要: Wolf activity varies considerably among differentstudies that explained patterns by factors suchas human activity, breeding status or prey availability(Fancy and Ballard 1995; Vila` et al. Ciucci al.1997; Theuerkauf 2003; Kusak 2005; Chavezand Gese 2006; 2007). However, it islikely the high variability of wolf isa result their ability to react various environmentalconditions (Packard 2003). Activity individual wolvesmay also vary days, switching from being diurnalto nocturnal. The purpose our study was examinethe between days seasonsand determine most important thatinfluence in Bieszczady Mountains, Poland.The conducted Moun-tains (Polish Carpathians) over an area about1000km
