A typical wolf pack

Three generations of wolves

In the wild, a wolf pack consists of the parents, the pups and the yearlings. The latter migrate after one to two years to look for a mate.

There are currently also three generations of wolves living at the Langenberg Wildlife Park. It's well worth a visit!
