"As in previous years, the leading cause of mortality (59%) among collared wolves was intraspecific strife"

(10 out of 17 deaths)

Wolf 592F (Disperser from Leopold)

Quote:

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."

Quote:

Wolf 589F (Oxbow Creek)

"In September, during a routine wolf tracking flight, Wolf Project staff observed the Agate Creek pack chasing the Oxbow Creek pack and killing #589F."

Quote:

Wolf 643F and 644F (Agate Creek)

"Interpack clashes resulted in the death of #643F and #644F during separate encounters with the Druid Peak pack."

Quote:

Alpha Wolf  380F, Beta 526F, 630F, 631F and uncollared female yearling (Slough Creek)

"Five wolves (beta #526F, alpha #380F, yearling #631F, yearling #630F, and an uncollared female yearling) were later killed by other wolves."
