   "scatter hoarders"

   While wolves, which are known for their cunning hunting skills, tend   
   to stay in a scavenge area long enough to devour their prey entirely,   
   they will occasionally carry and bury the remains of a kill, according   
   to a 1976 study published in the journal Ethology. (Wolves and other   
   canids are known as "scatter hoarders," meaning they stash their   
   leftover food in hideaways located over fairly large areas.) This same   
   study showed that even wolf pups cache, and will move their cache to   
   keep it from being discovered by a sibling. So, when dogs exhibit this   
   seemingly unusual behavior in your backyard, rest assured -- they're   
   simply following their instinctual "inner wolf."
