Alpha Female Wolf - March 2023

Quick glimpse of one of the local alpha female wolves, who we call Cilly (pronounced "silly"), checking out a double deer mountain lion kill last month.
Cilly showed up in 2018 after a previous alpha female named Blanca died. She's at least seven years old, and although the life spans of wild wolves can vary greatly, the average lifespan is between six and eight years.
Montana wolves mate in mid-February and give birth in late April...and it looks like Cilly will be adding to her pack soon.

What kind of cameras do you use?

For an Alpha, the tail and flanks don't indicate much sign of breeding. Was the trail cam footage from March? Thanks for the video.

Yes, end of March
