Arctic wolf (Canis lupus arctos, vlk arkticky) from ZOO Brno, Czech republic :D
Here you can see first photos of baby wolf puppies born in 2011 - [link] :love:


Story of the title: the wolf on the right is alpha male, Atila. The wolf on the left is a female, Alex or Clair. It is alpha or beta female of the pack - but it almost does not matter, because Atila mates with both of them and they both have pups every year... :D the older theory says that alpha male mates only with alpha female. As you can see, reality can be different :giggle:

INFO ABOUT THE ANIMAL:

Name: Arctic Wolf (Canis lupus arctos)
Location: Canadian Arctic and the northern parts of Greenland
Size: 1.8 m long, 79 cm high weight: 75 kg
Diet: Caribou, musk oxen, Arctic Hares, seals, ptarmigan, lemmings. Arctic wolves eat all their prey, also its bones and fur
Conservation status: common. They still live in the whole of its original range, because local conditions are too extreme for humans.
Interesting facts: mother gives birth to some 2-3 pups in May. Pups are born almost black – as they get older, colour of their fur turns to white. Adults are completely white, even in summer | arctic wolves live in the pack of some 7-10 members. Only alpha male and alpha female mate | arctic wolves have shorter ears and nose than other wolves species. They also have thicker fur, shorter legs | they do not run too fast, their advantage is persistence

Just my theory, but mating with both Alphess and female-Beta, is maybe due to having plenty of food, so they get the feeling of having no problems to feed their pubs and so take the opportunity to grow faster.
But just a spontaneous idea ^^

:iconwoxys:
yes, it is probably true, keepers say that even in the wild, alpha wolf mates with alpha and beta when there is enough food :D

Sounds logical, however I think in freedom it's rather rare, as situation can change very fast. So its a high risk any maybe not very successful, what of course doesn't say it won't happen at all.
