Wolf 534M (Alpha Male of Leopold) and Wolf 591F

"It is likely that they [Mount Everts Pack] contributed to the demise of the Leopold pack when they killed the alpha male [534M] and possibly others."

"Trespasses by both the Oxbow Creek and Mount Everts packs likely resulted in the death of at least two Leopold wolves: subordinate #591F in August and alpha #534M in September."

*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.
