Yellowstone Diary 2021

August 8, 2021 Yellowstone Junction Wolf Pack puppies field trip

Wolf pups are born in April and after a few weeks they are big enough to start to venture out of the Den. They begin to explore their world under the watchful eyes of their mother or a volunteer babysitter. The one year olds love to be babysitters and play with the puppies. As June approaches they go on longer field trips again with guardians to watch over them. Eventually the puppies are moved to a rendezvous site where they can be feed more easily by the pack. As September approaches they are big enough to run with the pack.

This video was filmed from 1.5 miles away.
