Alpha wolf 1014M of the Wapiti Lake wolf pack calls the pack to him while they are sleeping with a silent howl. this version has the original audio. This was recorded around the time this pack begins to break up, and is one of the last times the Alpha was seen. (The following is copied and pasted from chrome-extension://efaidnbmnnnibpcajpcglclefindmkaj/www.nps.gov/yell/learn/nature/upload/2021-Wolf-Rep… )
"After her death we guessed the leadership would fall to the oldest daughter and only female unrelated to alpha male 1014M; however, the pack seems to be going through a period of instability and may be splitting into two near the end of 2021. Many of the female adults (new alpha 1203F, 1235F, 1265F, the uncollared oldest gray, another uncollared gray, and an uncollared black) found a new alpha male. This group ranges from six to eight wolves. A younger female (1267F) and the pack’s adult males (1014M [last seen in late November], 1234M, 1329M) usually stay with one or two gray adult females and the pack’s eight pups. This group ranges from 10 to 15 wolves as some wolves go back and forth between groups. Both groups use the Wapiti Lake pack’s traditional territory, and because of the daily shifting between groups, we are counting them as one pack for the end of the year."

    He looks like the biggest wolf even when he's the furthest from the camera...
  • Alpha, wispering to his pack: "Hey, y'all get up, there's a bunch of weirdos creeping up on ya!!!

    He's dad to those wolves. Most packs consist of Alpha mom and Alpha pop and the children from previous years. The young males are encouraged to leave once they are mature and the daughters usually stay, unless there are circumstances that lead to cutting down the pack size. Dad only mates with mom and mom only with dad. Sexuality in the offspring is suppressed until they split off to find mates of their own. Being in a pack gives safety and food. The older siblings usually help raising the new cubs.

    The more you learn about the wolf, the more fascinating this beautiful creature becomes. The creature that embodies loyalty. I love this Animal ❤

    30 years ago I rescued a “dog” off the streets of an L.A. suburb. Turns out she was 3/4 Timber Wolf, 1/4 malamute. She understood me and other humans more than we understood ourselves. One day was walking her ( on leash) and 2 Rottweilers broke thru their door and charged us. She turned and looked at them and they stopped in mid road - until owner came. Crazy. But no one should be breeding these hybrids. Very difficult. But kept her til she passed years later.
  • Camerman: He kinda is. Making like a soft sound. Wolf: (whispering) Guys, come here, but don't make it obvious. I've just spotted our lunch watching us from the distance.

    " I think you should look rather than taking a picture" truer words couldn't be spoken

    His pack fawns over him, it’s beautiful. Some stay right by his side the whole time. Unable to stop physical touch. He is so patient and they are beautiful
  • @ehsandownload
    there is dominance in his every move , even the way he looks at the camera is different , you can see wisdom and experience in his face

    It's the coolest thing I’ve seen on YouTube this year. They're magnificent.
  • @erincogan1
    This is such an extraordinary video! I feel lucky to have seen it, I can only imagine what a privilege it was to see in person. That Alpha is such a MASSIVE and magnificent creature to behold. Absolutely incredible!
  • @brissiAU
    What beautiful healthy pack, thanks for posting.
  • @dumbitc11
    you can totally see how humans were able to domesticate wild wolves in the past. extremely social animals who are their happiest working together in a community. they are actually very similar to us if you think about it.
  • @shibernyan2009
    Bunch of happy pups. Really cute to see this little family bonding moment between the whole pack, you don't see footage of this kind of casual socializing very often.❤
  • @polovan23
    Imagine walking a peaceful afternoon hike alone in the wilderness and stumbling upon this and all eyes on you. I'd shit my pants.
  • @T-eee-L
    Damn, that’s a HUGE alpha wolf 👀
  • @twoeagles19
    It's a high pitch frequency like a dog whistle humans can barely hear and sometimes we can't . I lived with Wolves , they are to say it lightly extraordinary creatures !! Nice Video Capture.
