Six wolf cubs and their parents, were caught by a monitoring camera in the Semenic National Park – Cheile Carașului, while they were walking through the forest. These are very rare images which are usually hardly caught on cameras, the National Directorate of Forests – Romsilva says in a Facebook post.
“Females have several cubs, which they care for and defend with devotion. During the first weeks, she-wolves do not leave the den, carefully arranged, food being provided by her mate and other wolves in the pack. After a few weeks of nursing, the young are also fed by their parents, with semi-digested food, and they stay with their parents for several years. Wolves live in packs, generally consisting of the leading pair, the alpha male and female, as well as their cubs up to three years old. In every pack there is a respected order, body language expressing the position of the wolf in the pack. 🇷🇴 Romania has one of the most developed wolf populations in the European Union
