Abstract
The present study was carried out on the behaviour of Indian gray wolf (Canius lupus pallipes) in captivity at Sakkarbaug Zoo, Junagadh, Gujarat, India. The Indian gray wolf is critically endangered species and fall into schedule-1. Total ten wolves of 3-4 years old were observed. Ninety minutes observation was taken every week at morning time. Walking, resting, facial, resting alert, playing, fighting, standing, eating, etc. behaviours were studied. The observations of various behaviour activities of wolves we rerecorded from July 2018 to January 2019. Two different types of behaviours like active behaviour and inactive behaviours observed with two different patterns as 1) Wolf was solo in captivity and 2) Wolf pack in captivity. The time slice method was used. The wolves’ activity was registered in each ten minutes, nine times in one and half hour at morning. Twelve types of behavioural activities were recorded in the captive wolves. They were displaying different types of activities. Peaceful sharing of food with one another without competition was found in wolves. The newly born pups and mother were kept in separate cage from other captive wolves’ cage for their better survival and growth. When wolf kept solo, it shows monotonous behavior of running and walking as compared to wolves in the pack. This indicates that animal could be under stress.
