You asked me, I just said I don't believe it. I hear you. Beth, I don't have anything to contribute further on that.

I'm a science denier. There you go. I like that.

I have only observed probably 15, but that's not Yellowstone. That's in my history. And I know in Yellowstone, like I said, I know one year they get up to 34. And I think probably the largest I've ever heard of being recorded that I know is factual. It might be 40, but that's extremely unusual.

Might be Canada. I'm trying to remember my source. I can't remember. But 34 in Yellowstone. That's unusual.

I think, well, three things happened. Three different females had pups. On average, they have six pups, seven pups. So there's recruiting right there, 18, 20 pups right there. In addition to the adults that were there, they had a good year. They had lots of prey. And so all those pups presumably made it to their first year. So for one winter... They were a huge pack, and then mortality happens.

Wolves are not designed to live in packs of 34. I mean, packs in the Midwest where the prey is smaller and the wolves are smaller, they live in smaller packs. In Montana, Wyoming, Idaho...

average pack might be somewhere between 10 and 15 and every year you gotta remember every year they have six to seven pups and by the next spring they're back down that's six or seven through mortality or dispersal or whatever happens hunting yeah so stuff happens yeah it's a hard life It is a hard life.
