DOES THE DIRE WOLF CARE FOR EACH OTHER IN THE PACK?

From the remaining of the dire wolf what we found in the La Brea Tar Pit we found some of the broken dire wolf bones. These injuries most probably happened when these animals were out for hunting. In one case the researcher found that the upper hand arm bone of the dire wolf is broken, and this injury may makes that dire wolf a three legged animal. In another case the scientist found that one eye of the dire wolf was completely smashed. That dire wolf may be left one eyed after that injury. Now in the first case, from the study of the remaining it is found that that species lived at least 5 to 6 months more after that injury. In the second case, we found that that dire wolf lived several years after that injury. But here a huge question arises – in the both cases, the dire wolf surely lost their capability of hunting a large prey. So they cannot hunt by their own. Then how those dire wolves lived so long time after that injury? The probability of getting dead animal flesh every time is very much low.  This makes many scientists to believe that may be in the pack, the dire wolf care for each other,

Again in many dire wolves bone remaining we found the bite marks of none but the other dire wolves. So, it’s confirm that they dire wolf fight with each other.

That is why some scientists also thing that the dire wolf hunt in packs but they do not care for each other. And they also believe that in the broken dire wolf remains, the injuries are not that fatal that they cannot hunt by themselves. And more over the fighting between the dire wolves proves that the dire wolf do not care for each other. They just hunt in packs but no caring for each other, just like their gray wolf cousin.

Now I’m going to say what I believe in this case and explain why I believe this.

According to my study and imagination, I believe the dire wolves do care for each other in the pack.  I’ve seen that broken bones in a documentary called ‘Prehistoric Predator- episode 1-Dire Wolf’ in Net Geo Wild. I believe – those injuries are not that fatal that they cannot hunt. But as we know, the world was not same as of today. And the prey species of the dire wolves are normally the larger prey. And with those injuries those dire wolves just cannot hunt the larger prey alone. Now, because of their injury, they cannot hunt with the packs. One weak wolf in the time of hunting gave the prey a huge advantage to save himself.

Now, if we believe the fact that the dire wolf pack does not care for each other, then the injured dire wolf is not needed in the pack. They became a single wolf, and have to hunt alone. With that injury they cannot hunt larger prey. Now we concentrate to the smaller preys and the carcass what they can get. Every prey has its own way to save itself. Most of the smaller preys are either very much fast runner or a perfect Camouflage. So for a one eyed dire wolf or a three legged dire wolf it looks almost impossible to hunt those animals. And on the case of carcass, here, they can be able to find that, but you see, 10000 years ago the North America is a nightmare for everybody, there are many big deadly predators like sabre-tooth cat, short-faced bear and many more. So, finding the carcass for several years regularly and feed that completely without any other predator’s attention is impossible. More over most probably the North American lands are just like today’s African lands where a predator killed another to secure their foods and the future of their own siblings. So other predators will kill that single wolf at the first sight. This proves that the injured dire wolf continued with the pack and since the lived a long live after the injury that confirms the other wolves in their packs share their food with the injured ones.

Remaining of dire wolves found in the La Brea Tar Pit

For the bite marks of the dire wolves in the other dire wolves bone may be because of this – u see, in the La Brea Tar Pit we found 3500 individual dire wolf remaining –  Much larger than other any other predator. This leads us to the fact that the dire wolves dominated that area. Now, it’s not possible that there is only one pack that rules that area. Because if that happened then there is no other predator remains that place. The huge dire wolf pack finished all other predators. But that does not happened. So there are many packs controlling the North America. Very much likely they often involved in brutal fights between themselves. Again in the packs, there may be sometimes fights occurs to dominate the pack. These are may be the cause of the injuries of the dire wolves happened by other dire wolves.
