Wolf 6M

"Crystal Creek Pack, Adult Male, Natural (elk)"

"The alpha male, #6, died in August 1998 from an injury caused by an elk; the wolf’s femoral artery was severed. Fifty meters away the elk was found dead and consumed by #6’s packmates."

"The femoral artery is a large artery in the thigh and the main arterial supply to the thigh and leg."

*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.
