Wolf 208M (Alpha Male of the Tower Pack) (Nearly died in 2002)

"A near fatal encounter with the Agate Creek pack in March 2002 probably resulted in the loss of a litter. Residing mostly in the country behind Tower Junction and east into Antelope Creek, this pack was attacked by six wolves in the Agate Creek pack. Agate Creek wolves had made a kill within Tower pack territory near Tower Fall. The next day #208M, the only collared wolf in the pair, was seen immobile in a pool of blood on the snow. Presumed dead, a team of Wolf Project personnel headed in the follow- ing day to positively determine cause of death (if certain, and no lab necropsy was necessary, his carcass would remain in the backcountry). A simultaneous aerial location found that he had moved, but was still badly injured. After 10 days of little movement, #208 fully recovered and reunited with his mate. "

*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.
