Pups in tow, Yellowstone-area wolves trek long distances to stay near prey - Berkeley News
For the first time, a UC Berkeley-led research team has observed gray wolves outside of the Arctic migrating during pup-rearing season.

Excited to share the first publication from my PhD research about wolves using diverse movement tactics, including migrating and moving young pups, to track the partially migratory Cody elk herd in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem! news.berkeley.edu/2025/08/01/p...

Scientific research has long assumed gray wolves are non-migratory during springtime, staying put to tend to litters of nearly helpless pups.
