🔄FROM THE ARCHIVE: In a lupine game of thrones, pack strength and diversity wins out over death and bloodshed.
Adoption has been observed in wolves before. Co-author Rick McIntyre, who has tracked wolves in Yellowstone for nearly 30 years and written several books on the subject, notes that famed male 8M adopted pups when he joined a pack whose patriarch had recently been shot. His adopted son, 21M, later did the same for another pack who lost its alpha.
“He already had a lot of prior experience breeding, knew how to interact with adults, and probably had multiple interactions with other packs,” explains co-author Jack Rabe, a biological technician with the. “That might have enabled him to test the waters, to look at this situation, and see if it might be possible for him to stay as a subordinate.”
The advantages of larger pack size explain the caretaking impulses in this profoundly social species. “When wolf pups are young, their snout is really short,” observes McIntyre. “They have little ears. They have relatively big eyes. There seems to be something that's really appealing about those facial features to [adult wolves].
