"In October 2007, the pack clashed with Mollie’s pack near Canyon. Mollie’s had shifted into Hayden Valley the previous year, and one male from Mollie’s pack may have even bred with a subordinate Hayden Valley female. When the male did not stick around, #540 and #541 helped to raise the pup. Nonetheless, this did not spare them the attack by Mollie’s, who by all accounts routed them, killing both alphas. Mollie’s pack was just too big and had lots of big wolves, including big male wolves—bison killers. A blood trail tracked by park staff indicated that the white wolf took hours to die as she stag- gered through the Canyon area. 

Seemingly wiped out, the pack carried on without their leaders. Four pups and a young female ed Hayden Valley but clashed with Gibbon Meadows wolves near Old Faithful and lost a pup. Down to just four wolves, they were later joined by a male wolf. They traveled widely, almost like a pack without a territory trying to avoid inter- actions with other packs. They headed north and at year’s end had settled at the edge of the northern range. They are again living near the territories of several large packs as they are without many options to relocate. Although they are still hard to track because there are no radio collars in the pack and their fate is uncertain, reports of them pop in sporadically from visitors and park staff. Who knows? Maybe one of the pups will turn white and return some- day to Hayden Valley"

Hope it is understandable.  Also, there is a problem with the spacing between texts sometimes which i can't fix. Sorry for the inconvenience it might cause.

Although all the informations are based from my review, searches and documentation of my searches on the Internet, some informations can be, and are, inaccurate due to new papers coming out, new genetics analyses, etc etc.
