Wolf 35M, 30F (Thorofare Alphas) and a pup (1998)

"In January 1998, the Soda Butte Pack trespassed onto the Thorofare Pack’s territory, killing the alpha male (#35) and likely causing the death of the alpha female (#30) and one pup [Killed by an Avalanche while fleeing the pack supposedly] . When we visited the site where #35 was found, only hair, urine, blood, and his collar remained in a wind- blown concavity underneath a log along the Yellowstone Lake shoreline. "

*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.
