A curious tourist asked, "I've heard that in a wolf pack, only the leader has the right to mate and reproduce, is that true?"
Fang Ye shook his head and said, "All those tales about the alpha wolf ruling the pack, enjoying priority access to prey, and possessing mating rights have been overturned by field observations of wolves. In reality, as long as there is an abundance of food, all the female wolves in the pack will give birth to cubs, which are then raised by the group.
When several of the female wolves are pregnant and give birth to cubs, the wolf pack will leave the cubs in a den to be cared for by a nanny wolf while hunting. This conserves the wolves' energy and allows more of them to participate in hunting."
Our other female wolf, Little Cabbage, since she isn't part of the breeding program, has been isolated. She won't be let out until her mating season is over."
"Eh, why separate her?" a tourist immediately asked, puzzled.
