Congratulations! That's a wonderful story about releasing them back to the wild. I was just there, but didn't see the pups. I noticed the wolf only has 3 legs. 🐺🐺
Wolf 'cubs' .. their pups are termed cubs. Coyotes 'pups' and foxes 'kits'. Back in the mid-late 1960s I worked one summer with wolf expert and wildlife biologist L. David Mech on Isle Royale in Lake Superior. Mech's several books on wolves can still be found.
@@meganhrabak7238 Wild life biology and zoology haven't changed. The attention to specifics'details and the reasons for them in 'education' sadly have. Take a step back and look what has happened with today's kids and their writing [and articulation] skills as opposed to only 20-30 years ago .. and 20 years before that ..
Wow! that must have been a fascinating experience, working with David Mech. There is so much to learn about these amazing creatures, even more about how they communicate with themselves, other wildlife and us!
The US Fish and Wildlife Service does track the wild wolves via radio collars. There's also a round-up once a year where they do brief physicals on each wolf. One of Brookfield Zoo's former pups, Connie, is now the alpha female of her pack and has successfully reared her own litter of pups in the wild.
This is great. Praying for those going to the wilderness

Are you able to track the 3 cubs/pups you introduced in the "wild" den? Were they accepted and are they doing well?
I wanted to know the same thing.
Awesome.
Those Wolf Pups🐺🐶 Are So Cute😍❤️😘😘😘!!!

I was curious about this too recently! But apparently language has shifted recently to term them 'pups'. Not sure what led to the change! :)

Are you tracking the released wolves? I hope they are doing well in the wild.
