The pups of the Bug Creek Pack
Our first look at the pups of the Bug Creek Pack in early August. The pups had only been walking this earth for 4 months at this point and were already exhibiting poor “trail camera etiquette”—a direct result of bad parenting.
Anyway, there are 4 different pups in this footage, though only 3 are ever in the frame at the same time. One of the pups clearly has some sort of sore/hotspot/wound on its rump, and is limping as a result. Will be interesting to see if that pup has recovered and is still alive.
We are not sure how many pups the pack had in spring but we did get an observation of 5 pups following an adult in mid-September so the pack had at least 5. And at least 5 pups survived through mid-September, which is far better than most packs.
But the pups still have a few perilous months to get through until winter arrives and conditions become more favorable for wolves.
