Where are all these wolves coming from?

Where are all these wolves coming from?

Okay, so I know that there's a similar topic about this on Lioden, but this theory's probably gonna turn out totally different. For one thing, we don't exactly have Gorilla quests to give fodder cubs to. All the wolves have some form of ancestry, except your first Pack Leader and NPCs befriended in Explore. Where are all these wolves who either don't have parents or don't know who their parents are coming from? I can imagine the NPCs being the cubs that might have been abandoned or orphaned, but the leaders have to be coming from someplace special, because they're the only ones that are making packs! So what is going on here? I don't have the slightest idea, but here's what we know:

1. Every wolf has parents, and most know who they are.

2. Wolves that don't know their parents are either NPCs from explore or starter pack leaders.

And then here are facts that may or may not tie into what's going on here:

1. It is technically possible for a wolf to die, but only for NPCs (well, until your leader retires).

2. It is possible to chase off pretty much any wolf from your territory.

3. There are multiple biomes, some of which could possibly support multiple adolescents if they stuck together.

Please reply what you think!

My thought is like in real like wolves leave their packs and strike out on their own for mates to start a pack with. These are called dispersal wolves. Older wolves may sometimes leave dissolved packs  But wolves between the ages of two to four years generally leave their birth packs to find a mate. Not all wolf packs make and a lot dissolve leaving wolves dispersed. This happens in yellowstone a lot. Historically packs in yellowstonr have dissolved for a variety of reasons such as mange killing off half the pack or affecting their hunting due to being weakened from mange or other illnesses.


The biomes could suport more then one pack if you take yelliwstonr there are lots of decently suzed packs in park and thr territories are ever changing due to elk migrations. Elk make up a lot of wolves major diet so successful packs will spend the seasons in various areas following the herds during some and birthing pups in the spring. Birthing in winter irl happens but it's not ideal.  So with that in mind adults and adolescents who haven't yet found a pack would be ideally looking to form one with either a male or female wolf depending on their gender.


Vast majority of packs are made up of related wolves for example the wapiti pack in yellowstone which is the largest has a lot of related individuals

I agree with above. most likely where the other wolves are coming from is probably a place that was slowly being taken over by humans. The wolvden location is nice and remote, however. So my theory is the the dispersal wolves, of which more keep coming because of habitat lose, are coming to this area because they have heard that it is safe from the humans, which is why you can also find other wolves that were chased because none of them want to go back.
