ah, it's very good to have your dad gone off to buy milk ten years ago, and your mom brings a random A hole home every month. 50 50 chance of getting molested by them. and then get stuck for life paying off student debt while the cost of living keeps shooting up, and the landlords squeeze you dry.
The whole "Alpha Pair" thing has long been debunked. In fact, wolf packs are run very similarly to human families. The "Alphas" are just the breeding pair, the parents of the subordinates most likely. There isn't really any hierarchy unless a wolf that's not related is in the pack. The pups grow and the females are more likely to just stay in their natal pack while males are more likely to disperse and find a mate to form their own pack with. Subordinates, the pups of the year's older siblings, are actually left to babysit a lot. Yearlings are also usually babysitting. They're basically still pups themselves and aren't expected to do too much just yet.
@@TheCeasar8And the poor guy who messed up that study spent much of his life trying to reeducate the public. I think I also remember hearing something about how he felt awful about publishing the study because how people later applied it to dogs and the like but i'm not sure if this last part is a myth. It still sucks that this study is debunked by the creator and gets used over and over.
@@Felix-jo7nj No you are actually correct. The author is Dave Mech. And apparently he was trying to pull the published book for over 4 decades until he finally got them to get rid of it in 2022. He is regretful about the whole alpha terminology and has since published alot alot more modern research on wolves
The most relatable story yet. It really made me sad at the end. He had a horrible time as a puppy and after a lot of trouble he found a partner. And he didn't even lived enough to see the second generation of his offsprings… Just died alone in the snow…
@@Lavender2005 technically artic wolves are grey wolves- they are a subspecies, not their own. I do agree with Arminas, this video is far too black and white to depict actual wolf pack behavior artic or not.
@Binnie_303 tbh i doubt a species that thrives in packs and is social will not care for their pack, i doubt they would leave their mates or children behind.
@@Lavender2005 yes, wolf behavior in packs is extremely complex and we as humans have only scratched the surface because they are hard to study being the elusive mainly nocturnal species they are. The most in-depth information we have are on captive packs which function very differently from wild ones. In captivity they are just a collection of random adult wolves forced to live together which often causes lots of conflict and dominancy issues, real packs are made of family (either the breeding pairs children or sometimes siblings and grandchildren) so everyone is much more closely bonded and conflict is diffused very quickly. The most violence seen among wolves is of those that are rival packs, which is often when wild wolves loose their lives. This story better describes the life of a runt although wolves do not purposefully discriminate or bully runts- they just tend to naturally fall behind.
@@Lavender2005 I will say one discrepancy is a Yellowstone pack (can’t remember which one) where a breeding male died and the breeding females sister challenged her and killed her for her position. Extremely rare event but it’s likely the existing breeding female was viewed incapable as a leader and rather than break off into separate packs they decided to revolt and take over. Still we can only speculate as to what happened in that situation.
These videos make me reflect that the existence of a species (humans) that holds selfless compassion as a virtue is truly miraculous. We can observe the harsh realities of nature and judge it to be good or evil, and at least sometimes maximize the good. Domestication of animals, shelter, providing high-quality food (oftentimes for wild animals, bird feeders, fresh water in front of trail cameras, etc.), animal sanctuaries, wildlife preserves, etc. We'll even tranquilize wild animals, inject them with medicine, and release them without them ever comprehending what we did. And of course, we created civilization so that humanity can lift itself out of the brutish conditions that all natural life came from.
There is no such thing as an Alpha in wolf packs. There's only the mating pair, and their offspring, subordinates. Wolves disperse from their packs once they are old enough to mate, usually as 2 year olds. Sometimes they stay at their birth pack for longer, females are more likely to stay. There is no hierarchy for who gets to eat first or who gets to eat more.
Question. And the part where the weak/small cubs are left behind, is that only in the artic? Cause for a lot of other wolf packs they always take care of the pups, even the runts. And wolf pups also can't eat solid foods yet until they are older, btw. They eat regurgitated meat when the pups emerge from the den until they are old enough to eat. And from my knowledge, the pups don't learn to hunt until they are way older, mostly when they are at 6 months old. Is it different in the Arctic? Ive only researched about wolf packs in Yellowstone national Park, so wolf packs might be different in other areas.
hello! no arctic wolves dont leave their pups even if theyre weak. they work like a family not like a hierarchy of alphas and omegas that theory has been completely debunked. wolf packs are all very similar and work in the same way. i hope this helps!
wolf packs take care of their sick and elderly, so weaker or small cubs wouldn't be left behind in a majority of cases because wolves being a family unit DO care about their weakest links. arctic wolves aren't entirely different from most basic wolf structures.
Wow, who knew we’d get a happy story today? Sure, the ending had me tearing up, but hey, give it up for the arctic wolf-our fluffy comeback king turning his life around like a champ!
@@BoundOfficialTV I forecast that you will have alarge following not to far in the future (I mean 85k is allready a lot of ppl but this isnt 2011 UA-cam anymore lol)
WAIT so UA-cam likes this type of content so much that as long as you’re a good animator and editor/ content creator. They’ll throw your videos out to everyone and anyone??!!! I need to start one of these channels before we run out of animals.
The one story about that black wolf in yellowstone who wouldnt be accepted into the pack then that pack lost their territory. He gets with the alpha daughter and later after a couple years they take the territory back. Amazing story and then i found out a few years ago that wolf got shot and killed by a poacher. What a sad way for his story to end. Another amazing story is the mistit lion. I suggest watching both of those.
I would argue the wolf always wins, not the arctic. The individual wolf becomes inconsequential once its reproduced. The ability to keep its species alive in such harsh environments is proof of the wolfs victory.
i came to this video from the puma video at the end of which you said "another animal has it way worse", referring to the wolf, but at the end of this video you also said "another animal has it way worse", referring to the puma. I feel tricked
I know one wildcat life is a panther they may have a miserable life but at least they're black coats will save them from death and could save them from starvation so can you do a story about a panther life??
I would like to say that this video isn't very correct. 1) At around 1:30 we see the dominant male and subordinates have priority over food with the dominant female and pups getting leftovers. Arctic wolves are by standard wolf structure where the dominant female is even more matriarchal. She would have food priority from her mate feeding her and then that would go to pups and subordinates (past pups) equally. She would definitely not get last pickings. The pack is a family and pups are prioritized when possible. Pups would not be neglected by their parents for other adults to bully. 2) The pack would not be 'frustrated' and punish pups for scaring prey. While its possible the pups are there and can foolishly scare prey away, it is unlikely as they would not be allowed to be near the hunt until they are older and less of a liability. When pups get older, they start to eat less because there is less food to go around (season change) and more food needed (pups are bigger). 3) If the pack was able to successfully get food, they would not leave the pup behind to get scraps and instead eat with the pup. As I said, the pack is a family and the mom's priority is first herself and then her pups, not other adults. With how horrible you say it is for just a young pup, there wouldn't be much of an Arctic wolf population left because of the lack of pups surviving to adulthood. While it is difficult, the pack would not purposely shove the young pup to the outside of a huddle when its cold. This part really makes no sense to me. I'm curious what you use to reference behavior since some of these seems fictional. 4) The alpha/dominant male does not show much dominance over his grown pups and instead that is typically from the mother. There isn't really a reason he would see his offspring as a threat. It is actually very common for the offspring of previous litters to help raise the new litters and so it does not make sense for the father to be aggressive to them near the new pups. 5) When it is time to leave the pack, a wolf would leave on their own or be directly kicked out. The pack would not just leave them behind. 6) When two potential mates meet, it is more common for them to be friendly, especially the female, than for them to "size each other up". 7) When dealing with death, wolves will wait for each other when possible. They will grieve and they will remember them. Overall, this video is quite misleading. I recommend doing more research and speaking to active experts and other people who study the animal the video is about. I recommend a good documentary for Arctic Wolves called Kingdom of the White Wolf.
I love how i get the scraps of the scraps like zamn On an unrelated note can you do sparrows they look depressing like they have the most peaceful and the most brutal deaths honestly its just sad
Although it’s a lot like this, the honest truth is wolves are a bit more empathetic than that, although it’s true life can be hard in the Arctic for them. Wolves do care for each other and they do morn terribly.
Everyone is saying this isn't how wolves work, but there might be one exception: the protagonist sounds like he was a runt. His siblings sound like they got it easier, and afaik runts in any species get treated like a burden.
If I ever had to choose between being a wild animal or a modern human, I would choose animal since the only thing I need to worry about is my survival while a modern human needs education,money, a house, and much more complicated things.
What animal would you like the next video to be about?
Orca
Megalodon
🪼 JELLYFISH
snake (any kind)
Lemurs!!!
Huh. This is the happiest story we've had so far. The end was sad, but I was happy that arctic wolf was able to turn his life around.
Yeah
Badger was easily the happiest
The Arctic wolf truly is the ultimate symbol of strength and resilience. 🐺❄
Personally the “happiest” ending in my opinion is the orca one
These videos are a perfect reminder of how good it is to be a modern human!
Nah every animal sucks
We are very fortunate
No it doesn’t

Yeah, it is a persistent myth that just does not want to die. It was debunked as far back as the 1970s.
Yeah exactly i was surprised this was in the video since the whole "Alpha" thing was debunked so many years ago.

yes he is cool!
These videos are so wonderful, you have the perfect narrator voice, I won’t watch any other of these type of videos because of it lmao

Please, never stop.

Great video man ❤ , can't wait for more 😄
Your my favorite type of these UA-camrs. Keep making videos!
The best of the animal creators 👑
Finaly the vid i was waiting for
This story was beautiful 🥹
That noise at the beginning was nasty bro
Keep it up!
i have been here from the first video. i really hope u grow more good luck bro!
Thank you for making a video about my favorite animal❤
Artic wolves are nice but artic foxes are amazing.:)
True
This videos put my life in a hole new perspective ngl
Tanks for good videos❤❤
Best story yet. Puma got hit by a car, moose got shot and died. Arctic wolf the best yet

Love these videos
These videos about the lives of animals keep making me think of a book called Raptor Red.
been waiting for your videos lately
tbh it sucks to be almost any kind of animal nature is cruel but has a good cycle
A pack is a family unit, it’s beautiful, sad things can happen because it’s a dangerous world, but it’s still beautiful
I enjoy the fact that you don't personify these creatures. Nature is brutal and doesn't give a damn.

Wait, so the wolf, the one we are, doesn't leave himself? I know that grey wolf pups that become adults leave by themselves.
Can you make why it's great to be born as a human?
yes please
I learn more thing from these videos then school 😅

Damn now mama wolf gotta take care of the pups on her own now
