Our Current Residents Simpson: Male, Born April/May 2020 Scientists are just beginning to fully understand the positive ripple effects that wolves have on ecosystems. The carcasses of their prey also help to redistribute nutrients and provide food for other wildlife species, like grizzly bears and scavengers. They help keep deer and elk populations in check, which can benefit many other plant and animal species. Wolves play a key role in keeping ecosystems healthy. Howling is used to communicate territorial cues over long distances and helps to bring the pack back together when they are dispersed. Grey wolves communicate using vocalizations, scent marking, and body language. Wolves develop strong social bonds within their packs. The social hierarchy is established and maintained through aggressiveness, elaborate greetings, and submission. The alpha female and male are typically the pack leaders that track and hunt prey such as elk, deer, moose and caribou, as well as beaver, rabbits and other small prey. Packs include the mother and father wolves (called the alphas), their pups and older offspring. Wolves live, travel, and hunt in packs of 7 to 8 animals on average. Fur color of grey wolves varies geographically, ranging from pure white in Arctic populations, to mixtures of white with gray, brown, cinnamon, and black to nearly uniform black in some color phases.
