Change for wolves …. Humans continue to simply make life for them worse by the Day
“Change is the law of life,” John F. Kennedy once said, and that certainly applies to the lives of wolves in the wild. As always, the February breeding season and the following weeks brought excitement, danger, and consequences to the wolves of Yellowstone’s Northern Range.The biggest shock had to be the loss of Lamar Canyon alpha 925M, who was killed by the Prospect Peak pack. Sadly, the Lamar Canyon pack’s path crossed that of the Prospects at Slough Creek, where 925M was attacked and fatally injured. He died a hero, trying to lure the attackers away from the rest of his pack.What a blow this was to the Lamar Canyon pack. Trusty 925M (“Big Gray”), with his quiet presence and charmingly askew right ear, had become a huge favorite of wolf watchers since he arrived on the scene (probably from Wyoming) two years ago to become alpha male and adoptive dad to Lamar Canyon “Middle Gray’s” two black pups.
