The strength of the wolf is family!

Wolves are highly social animals that live in well-organized family units called packs (often referred to as “family groups”). Cooperative living gives wolf families a number of benefits – it facilitates successful hunting, pup-rearing, defending pack territory, and more.

This Mexican gray wolf family is eight members strong with parents, Trumpet and Lighthawk, and their six children. The entire family is pictured here! Can you pick the matriarch out of the crowd? Hint: she looks fierce!
