What is Arsene's pack doing between the end of winter and spring ? How do the reproduction and births take place ? How is the pack organized during the birth period ? We're going to give you some details about the periods called "reproduction" and "birth". We explain what happens during mating, the arrival of the cubs, their first weeks of life and the organization of the pack during these very important phases for the species.
Spring is the time of flowers and the return of beautiful and sunny days. But it's also the time of births in wildlife and not only for the wolf. What should you do if you find baby animals ? Which associations can inform you or taking action ?
Time has come to introduce you to the pack that we will study with your support. As already mentioned, we won't give any information about its name, its location, to keep the pack safe. So we have chosen a nice little name : ARSENE'S PACK !
So, what research are we conducting exactly? What financial means are being invested in our projects? What methods do we use to collect data so that you may peek into the lives of our wildlife?
Here, you’ll find more information about our work, our motivations, our accomplishments so far as well as our plans for the upcoming months and years.
Study in anthropized environment
Wolf moves constantly, mostly at night and on a 100 to 250 km2 territory. Then it becomes obvious that the observation of possible interactions between individuals or behaviors during the different phases of their social life is extremely difficult.
We sometimes think we know everything about nature, wildlife and the cohabitation between species. But the truth is that some behaviors or attitudes can be surprising and teach us a lot about inter-species relations. This example, a story of marking between Arsene and Gege, reflects this thought, we want to share it with you...
Being passionate about wolf for many years, we wanted to improve our knowledge by studying wolf behavior and intra-species interactions before starting our study in nature. We already knew it would be extremely difficult to observe Arsene's pack long enough to be able to understand all the communication codes, the interactions and the behaviors inside its family.
