Like their distant cousins in the frigid North, they&rsquo;re superb pack hunters. Even at this early age, they learn to work together as the most lethal mammalian hunting team there is. Unfortunately, they have no resistance against canine distemper that inevitably spreads among them from domestic dogs - wiping out entire packs at a stroke and reducing the numbers of this apex predator to a handful. Perhaps one day they&rsquo;ll figure out a genetic vaccine that can be passed down from mother to pup. This is an old one from December 2012.</p>
