First try refreshing your browser or try another browser. If that doesn't work, read the following.
All the videos on my website are embedded from Youtube. From what little information I can find Youtube is testing turning off videos for certain users that are not logged into a Youtube account or using a VPN to view videos. If you have a Youtube account, please try logging in and see if you can then view the videos on https://mvotd.com. If you're using a VPN, try turning it off to view the videos. There are a few other work arounds but they are pretty confusing to use. If you have the skills you might try searching Google for "Youtube Sign in to confirm you're not a bot" for a fix. I didn't see any that looked easy. Our best hope is that Youtube completes their test and realizes this is a big mistake. Until then, please check in daily to see if you still getting the error message. Sorry it took so long to figure out what was going on with this. Mel
Description
Wolf pups are left alone at dens from time to time while their parents go out in search of food. When a parent returns, the pups go into somewhat of a frenzy (for wolf pups that is) trying to find their parent and presumably get food.
Here is one such instance from this spring of the Half-Moon pups. The pups were just hanging out by the den when they heard the whining of one of their parents, likely their mom, calling them.
This whining initiates a little pup stampede as the pups start zipping around looking for their parent. The parent continues to call the pups and by the end it seems the pups found their parent who was near the top part of the den where we did not have a camera.
This same behavior by the pups occurs throughout the summer as adults return with food for pups. We have many videos of pups racing up to their parents or other pack members and vigorously mobbing them in an effort to get food from them.
