    "​ The Druid Peak pack was one of the most famous wolf packs in Yellowstone history. The pack’s high visibility in Lamar Valley allowed thousands of visitors to observe them every year. The Druid Peak pack originally consisted of five individuals that were released together during the second year of re-introduction efforts in 1996. They quickly displaced the Crystal Creek pack and established territory in Lamar Valley. ",

    "​... The following year [2009] proved difficult for the pack as the new alpha female (569F) was killed by other wolves which resulted in alpha male 480M leaving the pack (he was related to all remaining females in the pack). No pups survived, likely due to complications associated with severe mange infections, and by the end of the year the entire pack was affected by mange. In early 2010 the pack persisted by scavenging carcasses from other packs, resulting in high mortality due aggressive interactions with other wolves. The remaining Druid Peak wolf was 690F who was legally shot near Butte, MT, ending the legacy of this famous pack. "
