A Facebook Post Indicated the Oldest Members Are leading the Wolf Pack

Listen to this article

A photograph started circulation on the Facebook showing a ‘wolf pack’ walking throughout the snow with unfaithful information regarding its grouping. It is still unclear that who authored this doubtful information attached to the photograph. We have found that initial duplication was come from an Italian-language post on Facebook on 17^th December 2015. This post translated into English on 20^th December 2015 and circulated rapidly on the internet. This post indicated a group of wolf pack in which first three members are sick or old and entire pack is following them. They can lose their contact with other members in the pack and they will be sacrificed in the case of any surprise attack. 5 members are behind them and considered strong than front line.

All the other members are in the center of the wolf pack and behind the 5 strong members. The last one is alone and considered as Alpha, the leader in the wolf pack because it controls them from behind all the pack members and he is able to monitor everything and it also decide the correct direction. The pack normally moves by putting elders on the front and all the pack members watch and help each other. We found that posted photograph is real because it is showing a wolf pack in the Wood Buffalo National Park, but first three members are not old or sick and Alpha wolf is at the end of this pack, but wrongly described by this Facebook post. It is important that normally stronger animals leads the entire group and considered leaders.
