Wolf 30F and 127F (Thorofare Pack)

"When we visited the site where #35 was found, only hair, urine, blood, and his collar remained in a windblown concavity underneath a log along the Yellowstone Lake shoreline. His mate and pup, #30 and #127, perished in an avalanche, likely fleeing the Soda Butte Pack. "

*Note* : I transferred this thread to my forum : The Domain of the Wolf and updated and added many informations from the multiples sources I red. 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.
