No dead wolf pups this year...by *woxys

Photography / Animals, Plants & Nature / Wild Animals

Alex or Clair, female Arctic wolf (Canis lupus arctos, vlk arkticky) and their baby puppies from ZOO Brno, Czech republic

Story of the photo: sorry for the low quality, but this photo can illustrate interesting story

although wolf breeding suppose only mating of alpha female and alpha male, last year, alpha Alex gave birth to five pups and beta female Clair became mother of six pups. Under certain circumstances, Clair killed all pups of Alex and became alpha. Alex soon took her alpha position back, but she let her sister's pups alive. This year, Alex and Clair also both gave birth! Fortunately, they decided to take care of the pups together, so all TEN wolf babies are ok

I offer you a wolf calendar - for RANDOM reward. You can get it FOR FREE!

you can send me some points or so, only if you like it

it is not commercial

Thank you for your comments and faves
