First-look at the wolf pups of the Vermilion River Pack

Really neat footage of the first litter of the newly-formed Vermilion River Pack! The pack had a litter of 4 pups and this footage of the pups was taken at the 3rd den the pack used this spring.
The pack had their pups in early April at a den that had been dug-out/excavated in sandy soil. After a few weeks, they decided to move all the pups to another den about 1.2 kilometers away.
This second den was just on the ground under the trunk of massive white pine (the pine had to be a 200+ year old tree as the trunk above the den was about 5-6 ft wide). The den basically looked like a big nest under the tree.
The pack remained there for another few weeks before moving the pups another 300 meters or so to this rock den on a pine-covered ridge. Wolves moving their pups to different dens is quite common in our area and so not surprising to see these shifts.
Anyway, the pups were in great shape, as you can see in the video, and quickly becoming quite agile and nimble (sort of) in the woods! We look forward to seeing how many of these pups survive until adulthood.

Gorgeous creatures! They definitely have a place in the wild. Compensate livestock owners for what they lose. Move those who come to prefer the easy kills. But keep the wolves in the wild. Peace. Out.

[@butcherwoman3753]

Wolves need protection. They deserve it. We as humans need to start respecting nature and wildlife. We also need to stop encroaching on their environment and polluting it. There are too many humans on earth, polluting and destroying their habitats. Livestock farmers have insurance on their herds but I do not know the particulars when it comes to predatory kills. Not sure if there is reimbursement at all. Most people do not understand the pains livestock, grain, fruit/veg. and so on farmers go through. It’s tough business to be in livestock growing or tilling the earth farming, no one understands their position unless you are a farmer or grower.

[@ashmanemundodalugaby1874]

​@@smoothambassador6665No, they are blue. You cannot see it because the camera isn't so close-up to show the pups' whole faces. Every young animal has blue eyes upon the first time opening them and until about 2 months old.

They are beautiful animals but also troublemakers

[@pilgrimsspiritualvoyage6252]

​@@ryannelson6524interesting what part of MN? Are you saying you are all out of deer, elk, moose, rabbits, etc? ALL of these prey mammals are now extinct in your area? And especially since the biologist who monitor your area (and actual biologist living among and studying the packs NOT fish and game) would say differently.

How old are these adorable pups?

[@mortalclown3812]

Read the video description

[@TheStarWarriorHorse]

@@mortalclown3812The description says nothing about their age, only that they were born in April. It doesn’t state when the video was shot, so I still don’t know how old they are.

[@ashmanemundodalugaby1874]

​@@TheStarWarriorHorseThey seem like they are about 5 weeks old. Wolf pups go out of the den for the first time at 3 weeks old, and these seem a little older and experienced. So, I judge they are 5 weeks.

i'm waiting for time, when the prophecy of Isaiah will be fulfilled: "the wolf will actually reside for a while with the male lamb, and with the kid the leopard itself will lie down, and the calf and the maned young lion and the well-fed animal all together; and a mere little boy will be leader over them...They will not do any harm or cause any ruin in all my holy mountain; because the earth will certainly be filled with the knowledge of Jehovah as the waters are covering the very sea" (Isaiah 11:6-9). There will be an absolut hurmony between humans and animals!

[@ryannelson6524]

Great another pack of killers in a area with way too many wolves already they are beautiful and are just doing what carnivores do but enough already deer fawns and moose calves are cute too until the wolves kill 80% in their first days of life where are those videos ?

[@pilgrimsspiritualvoyage6252]

There aren't any of those videos because that DOESNT happen!!! I am a biologist, microbiologist, and ecologist here in Wyoming. Not only is the Valley my family ranches in surrounded by 4 national parks, full of wolves, bears, cougars, coyotes, foxes, badgers, etc... My team and I have been studying the packs here in Yellowstone for over a 2 decades now and the beneficial impact they have had on the ecosystem. I know first hand from education and experience, what you say is not true. That is false propoganda spread by fish and game since hunting generates most of their revenue. And if in fact they were killing off the majority of their food source, they would start to starve to death and their numbers would go back down. Bringing the prey numbers back up. This is how an ecosystem works, always has and always will. Not to mention that since wolves DON'T always catch their prey, it would be impossible to say they kill 80% in a short time. If it was the prey would be completely extinct! So that doesn't even make logical sense.

[@Vernbubba]

They’ll all be dead by fall. Starvation is a horrible thing

[@Vernbubba]

@@randallbenson7966 nope but I spend more time in the woods than you ever will. There’s 2 deer per square mile in that packs area. How long do you think those pups will survive?

[@kittyemzcanada]

@Vern Suihkonen Possibly...but a wolf doesn't exist by eating only deer. That area appears to be quite populated with a variety of small animals.
