The endless snowy plains of Baffin Island, the winding coastline covered with solid ice, this is the forbidden area of human civilization, nature has created and preserved the most primitive wasteland, often here only polar bears, arctic wolves and arctic foxes and other wild animals.
In this Arctic wasteland, the head wolf Jenny (the head wolf of the Arctic wolf is usually a she-wolf) gave birth to 3 cute cubs, and after 2 months, the baby wolf cub can not only eat breast milk, then need to eat more meat to replenish enough energy.
The head wolf summons the wolves to hunt with them, but the cubs must stay. If you follow the wolves, it is really a burden when hunting, and if you are not careful, you may be bitten by your prey, and the head wolf will certainly not let her little treasures go on an adventure. It's peak hunting season, and there are no more wolves left to protect them, only caves to keep them safe.

Summers on Baffin Island are also hot, and the most annoying thing for Arctic wolves is the flood of mosquitoes. These mosquitoes harass the wolf cubs everywhere, and what is even more frightening is that these mosquitoes not only suck blood, but are likely to bring disease, and even infect the baby wolf cubs with terrible infectious diseases, and finally suffer and die.
A male wolf returned from hunting and saw swarms of mosquitoes surrounding the wolf cubs, and one wolf cub was surrounded by mosquitoes, and if he continued like this, he was afraid that the three cubs would be tortured to death by them. It seems that this nest is no longer suitable for the cubs to stay. Without waiting for the other wolves to return, the male wolf decided to move immediately. The male wolf had no experience, did not leave a signal for the head wolf Jenny, and left with 3 wolf cubs.
Another cave is still 8-10 kilometers away from here, you must speed up before you can get there before dark, the male wolf with these 3 little guys full speed, 2 barely can keep up, but one of the smallest always can't keep up, only to run less than 3 kilometers, the youngest cub really can't walk, full of sweat, gasping for breath.
The male wolf saw it like this, and had no choice but to find a temporary cave for it, hide it in it, and let it slowly recover its strength to come back to it. The male wolf also checked around to make sure the cubs were safe, and then set off with the other wolf cubs.
They finally reached their new home, the male wolf finally slowed down, and the remaining 2 cubs arrived safely in the new home, where the scenery was beautiful and there were no mosquitoes. But the two cubs were already hungry by this time, and the male wolf seemed to have forgotten that there was another wolf cub waiting for him, so he hurried to hunt.
<h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > the she-wolf found that 3 wolf cubs were missing and rushed around</h1>
The head wolf returned with the wolves, and they preyed on several pikas, thinking that the babies had something delicious to eat, but when it entered the cave, it found that it was empty, there was nothing, and 3 wolf cubs were gone.
All the wolves called around separately, but did not hear the response of the cubs, which immediately broke the head wolf, and they immediately split up, looking for clues along the way through the smell.
Along the way, everyone called and looked, and with everyone's concerted efforts, they finally heard the response of the wolf cubs, and the two little wolf cubs stretched their heads and looked around, responding to the call of the wolves, seeing the wolf mother in the distance, they were happy, and finally had food.
The wolves ran for five or six hours to find the new cave, but the head wolf soon found out how there were only 2 cubs, and where did the other one go, and it was useless to ask the other cubs, because they didn't understand things at all, where did they know that the male wolf hid his little brother elsewhere.

You know, the head wolf will not give up her cubs, she entrusts 2 cubs to other she-wolves, let her take on the role of surrogate mother, in order to feed the wolf cubs. The little wolf cub was probably very hungry, and pounced on the side of the she-wolf to eat milk.
Mom and the wolves set off, calling out for the lost cubs as they walked. But this is an endless wasteland, and it is indeed very difficult to find lost cubs in such a vast wilderness.
On the third day, the head wolf let the wolves hunt, and if they continued to search like this, everyone would starve to death. She went to look for it alone, and now she could only rely on her own intuition, and the cubs left few traces.
It was said that the lost wolf cub had been waiting in place for 3 days, it was tired and hungry, and its cries became very desperate, but the cub could not help but bark a few times, and the howl quickly disappeared into the vast wilderness.
On the afternoon of the third day, the head wolf finally heard the call of the cub, and hurried to follow the sound, not far away, her cub was almost dying of hunger, but it was still calling, and the head wolf ran up, rushed to feed it, and then took it back to the new home.
