Alpha wolf 1014M of the Wapiti Lake wolf pack calls the pack to him while they are sleeping with a silent howl, and then the entire pack comes running to him. (original audio has been removed because you can't hear the wolf howl, and all you can hear is people talking about what is happening.) This was recorded around the time this pack begins to break up, and is one of the last times the Alpha was seen. (The following is copied and pasted from chrome-extension://efaidnbmnnnibpcajpcglclefindmkaj/www.nps.gov/yell/learn/nature... )
"After her death we guessed the leadership would fall to the oldest daughter and only female unrelated to alpha male 1014M; however, the pack seems to be going through a period of instability and may be splitting into two near the end of 2021. Many of the female adults (new alpha 1203F, 1235F, 1265F, the uncollared oldest gray, another uncollared gray, and an uncollared black) found a new alpha male. This group ranges from six to eight wolves. A younger female (1267F) and the pack’s adult males (1014M [last seen in late November], 1234M, 1329M) usually stay with one or two gray adult females and the pack’s eight pups. This group ranges from 10 to 15 wolves as some wolves go back and forth between groups. Both groups use the Wapiti Lake pack’s traditional territory, and because of the daily shifting between groups, we are counting them as one pack for the end of the year."

DAMN I was expecting like 7 wolves but this dude's got a whole platoon under his command.
😂😅
I'll never go into the woods again without an uzi.
Me too! The more that came I was like oh they on some gang type levels.
A platoon 😂😂😂😂😂😂
He must be so good to them.
i love how all their tails start wagging when they’re all together 😂
Their tails are always down, until they first see each other, also. Then their tails return to their straight down position after their greetings are done.
I know right haha.
❤ now that's family
That is a big pack lol
@@martinsimeonov1563I counted like 16 wolves
His realization that someone was there watching them. His whole demeanor changed. Went from a wolfy smile to a "hold the f up" face. Protecting his pack; told everyone to move out. The respect they have for the alpha is awesome.
Seriously, that music is spot on! You can see a slight growl with his teeth bared and haunches quiver 0:32. Still watching while receiving hellos. Respect for those magnificent creatures!
Just looked like he was watching the pack roll in..
😂🤣
Youre wrong
How do y'all kids even come up with these phrases Changed to a "hold the f up face" that's some corny ass thing to say.
Bro is the main character. No questions asked
the pack is the main character .. he knows that ..that is why he is the alpha
@@silverkitty2503also the least inbred
He’s large and in charge! Pretty sure he’s the alpha ware- wolf😂❤
Man hes so much bigger than all of them. The respect they show is crazy. Amazing footage
Thank you
He is older and likely their father.
Well that's why he's alpha
That's why insecure men put a collar on it
@@MrSilus2000 That is one of the most bizarre and crazy non-sequitars I've ever seen. That radio transmitter allows scientists to collect important information about wolves that can aide their conservation. BTW, how do you know it was "insecure men" who collared that wolf. There are several wolf biologists that are women.
Dad calling his kids, nephews and nieces home. Amazing how much a wolf pack resembles a human family.
*pre-woke human family
It's almost like... humans are social creatures... just like wolves. Why do you think we were able to tame them thousands of years ago to have dogs nowadays? Because of our social behaviour similarities that we both rely on/yearn for.
I think that’s why humans and canines work so well together. Similar family structures created a bond as close as kin
Usually only the alpha male mates so it’s doubtful any of those wolves would be his nephew.
@@Dennis-nc3vwA pack of wolves is led by the parents. The father and the mother. They are equal in rank. Below them are their offsprings.
0:29 He's detecting the camera person through sight and smell, and is making him uneasy. He's decided to move the pack away for their safety. What a great leader.
The way the music kicks in as he sees it.
He saw the pack coming, that's all. Fake news.
He detected the pack.
That dude is gigantic. Wolves are huge, like 130 pound range, he dwarfs all of them
There are wolves mich bigger than that Unfortunately as every other animal they keep shrinking cuz they dont have enough food to maintain that size Forrests get more empty and empty by the day Thats why so many foxes come to the city instead of wilderness They dont find enough food anymore. The big wolves need a lot of food, the small ones come out with less So if less food is available only the small wolves will "sustain" Its crazy. Peolple think of wolves as small doglike creatures They are not Thats what we have done to them by deforrestation
Humans also was much bigger thousands of years ago "Giants" was real Not like 10 meter or something, but people like brian shawn or shaq was normal, and not the biggest When you can eat 10 natural chicken a day you will grow much bigger than if you have like 10-20 bucks a day and buy some supermarket food with no nutrition.
@@backbone93 you talk a lot of crap! Humans only need 20% of the food we consuming right now..
@@quadmeister you dont understand biology yet, you will get there eventually But not with googling it or reading books from the system- who are responsible for it. 80% of the stuff most humans eat has no nutrition my friend Its empty calories, just sugar and conservatives and nonsense. No nutrient density. Humans might eat too much, nut they still get too less nutrients You can 100 kilo of cheetos a day and you still have not enough nutrients. Taking a 130 pound wolve as representation of a wolve is the same as taking a 130 pound nerd as representation of a warrior. Dont argue just for arguing, if you have a question ask it but stop the entitlement... Have a nice day.

I love how they all come up and bite his snoot like they’re punching in
This is not just fear and respect, more than respect this is love
They trust him as their leader and he honors that trust every day by being a good leader. They do love him.
The thing love ❤️ last longer than fear 😨, Fear eventually runs out when you love something or someone you will be loyal, Show respect, When you fear someone/something its like a clock eventual a time comes where that fear runs out or you overcome it 💯, The Alpha has earned the other wolf 🐺 pack members love ❤️ by being a Good Leader.
The purest of love
just fear ..because when he gets dethroned they WILL kill him ....not a ounce of respect \
Yup. Yup. 🙏🏼💖✨
I like the way his facial expression changed when he spotted the humans. He went into high alert.
I doubt they can see that far. Most of these shots are recorded from hundreds of meters away with really strong lenses.
@@sunfang2yes if the wolf had caught sight of anything after calling the pack he’d immediately alert them, there’s no way they’d continue greeting him
pretty sure its because he caught the smell of the others coming.
@@sunfang2 he saw the cameraman then he started to sniffin air. if you look closely you can see. he tried to figure out what was the thing that was watching him.
Try again
This is beautiful footage but dang it I was hoping to get to hear his howl lol
that was it actually
Here's the original audio kzhead.info/sun/ZMqpY9R-aGSBjZE/bejne.html
@DD214productions not even the same part of the video...
I realized that nature is a gift of entertainment to man… There is truly more joy in this small clip then TikTok and Facebook.
I absolutely agree. Those things are soulless and shallow at most times. This is very lively and fascinating.
He must be a good leader! They looooove him! I like how they start playing when they get together.
That is one big boy. Makes the lesser members look like coyotes. Amazing footage, thanks for sharing it!
Thank you
Beta members of the pack are not lesser. The alpha wouldn't last without his homies. They are equally important as a unit. The alpha takes more responsibility to protect his buddies, but it is a wonderful family unit. 😊
I saw another big gray one the camera focused on near the end, looked like a female
those smaller wolves are juveniles, less than a year old. the alpha here their dad. any given wolf pack will start like this, mom dad plus kids, although in some packs it's actually the breeding female whose in charge.
@@yamiyomizuki you're correct, the youngest ones belong to him, but then the some of the bigger ones belong to his brother, and than other belong to the male they overthrew.
0:28 I like how before he sees you he has his tongue out waiting for his pack, and then he sees you and is like "hol' up" xD wolves are wonderful creatures! Edit: okay everyone is attacking me in the replys lol, I admit I may have been wrong about the wolf seeing the camera, but my point still stands, wolves are wonderful creatures! ♥️
Quiet REGGIN
he’s not looking at him. was looking at the first wolf running over to him
@@praxusjoon2478or no? Maybe if he was interested he would've kept his attention to him even when he came up to him...they came up to him and he still wanted to look behind them...he took his attention for a short moment towards the cameraman maybe

The more you learn about the wolf, the more fascinating this beautiful creature becomes. The creature that embodies loyalty. My Favorite Animal ❤
The way the music kicks in when he spotted someone watching him.
Those eyes could pierce your soul. Yellow and intense as can be. Truly magnificent. I love living around them. Its a privilege. Always respect and protect wolves. They are the balance.
I share my life with two of them plus a wolfdog. They are not pets. They are cohabitants. They are treated as respected equals. There is a mutual respect and love that must be kept in balance.
How long do wolves generally live? 15-20 years?
@@brianmeen2158 12 to 16 years is what the wolf expert told me. These are the first wolves I have shared my life. I am constantly in contact with a wolf refuge. She was the one that told me I should keep the boys in my life because I rescued them and raised them from very early to adolescence and they had imprinted on me. One of the wolves had to have a leg amputated because he was in very dire condition when I found them. He may not have a full lifespan, though I hope he does. He romes my 12 hectare property and returns with his brother every dusk. His brother is always with him.
I envy you people, you share your lives with true reality, nature and its children. You are blessed.
You couldnt even see his eyes bro
He's so big compared to them. Amazing.
Probably all his kids
Probably uncles aunts brothers sisters and some kids
@@disf5178Wolf packs are just two parents and their kids. The children have to leave after around 2 years to found their own pack.
@@disf5178most likely his kids
@philippdrescher6012 I thought wolves packed up the way lions create prides. Usually family/extended family around the established alpha. Not just a father, mothers, and kids
It's hard, imposing and adorable at the same time. They all came to him for snuggles.
0:31 the wolf has spotted the camera 😳 0:40 oh nevermind he saw his pack mates! 0:51 awwww so many fluffballs 1:05 Wowzers that’s a huge pack
You see how the last ones weren't all excited to be summoned back. They are plotting something
There's always atleast one looking to move up.
that's not even a thing, how dumb you are is amazing@@DD214productions
That's so true 🤣🤣🤣
The best part is knowing that an "Alpha wolf" is typically just "Parent wolf" so we just watched a dad call his kids and sons and daughters-in-law to go out to eat.
That's true in most cases, but not with the pack. He's not the original breeding male.
go out to eat like theyre ordering sushi, your comment killed me
@@DD214productionsAlpha wolves don't exist. The guy who created that theory (Rudolph Schenkel) has been begging people to stop spreading that for years because it's been proven wrong countless times.

What a beautiful pack! So many and so healthy. A breath taking sight you captured to share with all of us. Thank you, greatly appreciated. Makes my heart soar to see such magnificent beings.
Thank you so much.
I don’t know why, but I was not expecting them to be like house dogs when they approached him. So many kisses.
I just commented on this I adopted 2 street dogs to go with my Golden and they both do this to greet him all the time hes about twice their size if not more
Even through a video he summoned us here. Truly the Alpha
It's crazy how they're showing love for the alpha but also showing tons of respect through their body language and posture. Tucked tails, lowered heads and pulled back ears showing submission, but also licking him, rubbing against him, and white fang biting him like they would when playing with their own brothers. Wild Canids are fascinating, beautiful, and absolutely terrifying all at the same time.
He summons them so they can tell him what a good boy he is.
🥺

This is such a beautiful sight seeing the leader wolf calling his pack! ❤🐺🐺🐺
I just love how happy they seem to be seeing each other.
I have two wolves and one wolf hybrid. They are not pets. They are my companions and cohabitants. I rescued the two orphaned brothers when I found them on the edge of my property. I have been in contact with a wolf expert all the lives of my friends. Mighty Rayzar had to have his right front leg amputated to save him. Ravenous Rotter was severely underweight and weak and full of parasites. A lot of love went to save these brothers. The wolf dog hybrid was adopted to help raise the wolves. Today, they are four years of age and the adopted mother is eight years of age. I love and respect all three of them. They are my best firends. No human could ever provide bonds so strong.
Thank you for sharing
share some videos, that would be interesting to watch
@@xtian2900 I would love to do so. However, the only cameras I have are obsolete and in poor condition. My father's old VHS camcorder that I keep for memories is a keepsake. I doubt I could find any way to rip the content from the VHS to computer and make it look any good. The other camera is a salvaged camera I repaired. The single video I have uploaded will show the poor quality of the image. It is barely together at all. Maybe still photographs may be an option. However, I believe KZhead disallows that.
I would've named them Romulus and Remus for the irony.
Wow cool story
Wolves has a legendary place in Turkish Culture. Their hunting strategies and team work are something else.
The tails wagging 😍
It's crazy to think a handful of humans have been raised with these animals.
That is crazy! Where did you get that idea from the old Romulus and Remus myth?😅
Tarzan for sure comes to mind.
@@user-nx1qf7hs5o A fictional story.
Like moglie from the jungle book
I was raised with 3 wolves.
The natural world is a beautiful and powerful thing to see when captured unobtrusively like this. That alpha was like some ancient battle commander summoning a platoon for inspection and instruction. Then off they went across forest terrain to scout for scarce resources on their heroic mission 🙏🏽
Earth 🌍 is a beautiful place with no humans
@pastoryoda2789 It's a beautiful place with us too. Our ancestors knew how to live harmoniously with mother nature
@@iponce2 you’re right to some extent, but perhaps more accurate to say humans ONCE lived harmoniously with the rest of the animal kingdom. As it was so much easier in antiquity when human populations were few and sparse. Over millennia we’ve basically overdone everything to ensure our survival, whilst obliterating other poor beasts into oblivion. There are now 8 billion wretched human mouths to feed and counting. Yet the great and the good of contemporary society still think we are nowhere near as populous as we need to be - Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos- 1 trillion humans. God help us 😂

The music you had made it that much more chilling awesome!!
Thank you
I'm older than dirt, Have watched tens of thousands of hours of Wildlife documentaries, That is one damn gorgeous wolf.stunning!!he is over 200lb.marathon runner. I believe he did not notice the camera, Till he was looking at his approaching pack, Normally he would have instantly bolted, But because his pack was running from the direction he could see that camera, he held.
Nature is so awesome. The smokey blacks and grays of the alpha are just stunning. ❤
He is a beautiful wolf.
Wow, I've never seen a pack this large before! Wolf had an army!
I like the one who waited for his buddy at the end
the few last one, are the next few years competitor, for sure...
That's pretty damn adorable. From a distance.
The last black wolf to go join the pack is also an alpha male. He always follows behind the pack to watch their 6 and make sure they are all accounted for
The whole notion of Alphas with wolves has been debunked it doesn't really exist.
So Males are black and females are grey? ^^ sorry "entertainmentchannelperson"....

Cool video ~ a big, healthy pack. 🐺
this is in yellowstone. probly the Rescue Creek Pack or the Eight Mile Pack, judging by their numbers. not the largest in the area however, the junction creek pack that the rescue creek pack broke off from is still ~22 wolves strong after the split. i've kept tabs on yellowstone's wolf packs off and on since back when The Druid Pack were the big dogs on campus. sadly The Druids lost their territory to rivals, dwindled in numbers, were forced to turn to scavenging to survive, and eventually were down to one wolf, who was shot in 2010, but in their prime they OWNED yellowstone.
They are so beautiful... crazy to think them big ol dogs are running around out in the woods. Be pretty scary to run into a pack if you where walking.
Any Canadians wanna chime in? How is it so many people can do massive canoe trips in the likes of Wabakimi and Algonquin and not worry about packs like this?
@@dudemanismadcoolboomsticks take care of fear.
@@dudemanismadcool that and despite the reputation, wolves generally avoid people. unless you're a threat to the den or they're on hard times and desperate, they usually retreat rather than engage. always exceptions to this mind you, but generally speaking, wolves usually want nothing to do with us.
