Famous White Wolf 192M [Founding & Longtime Alpha Male of The Bechler Pack)


a.    Disperser from Tower Pack in 2001.
b.    Is a loner as of Dec 31 2001.
c.     Formed the Bechler Pack and is the alpha male in 2002.
d.  From the 2002 litter,  two pups were still alive in 2003.
e.    Nearly white and still Bechler alpha male in 2005
f.     He is 9-10 year old in 2007.
g.   He reached the 11 year old mark in 2008.
h.   Born in the Rose Creek Pack in 1997.
i.    Died at age 12 in the summer of 2009 of unknown naturals causes.

Recap

ID : #192M
Sex : Male
Color : Eggwhite (nearly white)
Lifespan :
-       April 1997- June 3rd 2009 (12 years and two months old)
-       [126F, 192M and 478F are the only known Yellowstone wolves, as of now, who have reached 12 year of age]
Birth Pack : 
  • Rose Creek Pack (1997)
Packs : 
  • Rose Creek (1997-1999)
  • Roosevelt Group (1999)
  • Tower Pack (2000 - 2001)
  • Bechler (2002-2009)

Status in Bechler  : 
  • First Alpha Male and one of the longest time as alpha in a Yellowstone wolf pack (7 years ; 2002-2009)
Ancestry : 
  • Son of 18F & 8M
  • Grandson of 9F/10M & 5F/4M
  • Brother of 193M and 194M
Known Mates : Uncollared Black Alpha Female of Bechler [?-2005- ?]

Descendance : 
  • 408M
  • 409F
  • 410F
  • 543M
  • 544M
  • 545F*
  • Bechler Female* [Could still be alive and member of Bechler aswell as being a former/actual alpha/breeding female]

Note : The Bechler Pack formed in 2001/2002. It is still existing today. The first alpha male of the pack, 192M, lives from 1997 to 2009. His reign of 8 years as alpha is one of the longest in Yellowstone Packs. Although his descendants are not well known because of collaring difficulty and observation of the pack being difficult due to remoteness of the area, forested habitat and being a border pack with Idaho. 

Because of his long tenure as alpha and good breeding of the pack throughout his tenure, we can theorize appoximately that at least 50-80 % of the Bechler Pack is related to him. 545F lived for 8 years, being lastly seen in 2013. Both 545F and Bechler Female probably and almost certainly act as breeding females. 

This is my opinion with informations on both the known descendants [numbered and nicknamed] of 192M and the history/Size of the pack by year since its formation.

Wolf #208M [Founding Alpha Male of The Short-Lived Tower Pack]


a.    Paired with an uncollared gray wolf. Part of Tower Pack in 2001.
b.    Only collared wolf of the Tower Pack in 2002.
c.     Black Wolf
d.    Died from unknown naturals causes in 2003

Recap

ID : #208M
Sex : Male
Weight : 125 lbs (57 kg) (January 2001) (Adult)
Color : Black
Lifespan : April 1998- April 12th 2003 [5 years old]
Packs : 
  • Rose Creek
  • Tower Pack
Mate : 
  • Uncollared Gray Female
Ancestry : 
  • Son of 8M & either 9F, 18F or 78F [Presumed]

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. "
