Adult wolves spotted acing parenting duties and bringing 'toys' to their pups in heartwarming clip

Parents can go to any length for their kids. The children are their priority as nothing beats the joy that comes from the smiles on the little ones' faces. As a parent, we become selfless for our kids out of pure love. However, this is a universal idea. It doesn't just apply to humans but also to animals. Even the wild ones root for and look after their children beyond their own needs. Just like us, even animals will do whatever it takes to raise their kids. Yellowstone National Park shared a heart-touching clip of adult wolves, highlighting their thoughtful acts for their pups. 

Yellowstone National Park is home to a variety of animals and is known for their unique maintenance and care for the species. They are known for their upbringing of animals, cultures and geographic aura. Recently, they posted a video of their adult gray wolves, who were seen doing something any human parent would do for their child. They were a part of "Mollie’s Pack," which is one of the 10 known packs living in Yellowstone National Park. They are highly social species that travel in packs. They were originally found in Canada and Northwest Montana and were released in the Yellowstone National Park. 

The video shows the adult wolves returning from their hunt, holding bones and other material apart from food. Yellowstone National Park wrote in the caption that these adult wolves were bringing these materials as "toys" for their pups. The wolves litter around 4 to 5 pups every year and were supposedly carrying "toys" in the form of sticks and bones when they did not find the food. The caption mentioned, “Pups await food deliveries from successful hunts, but in the absence of food adults bring 'toys'.”

One of the reasons why the wolves brought the same was to assist the pups in their teething. The caption mentioned, “The instinct to bring items to the den may be reinforced by evolution, and probably helps keep adults from being mobbed by sharp puppy teeth.” Teething is a well-known phase in a baby's formative years and it can get crazy without any material to aid the process. The same goes for wolves. Baby wolves develop sharper teeth and then they require bones and hard materials to chew on. 

The video was posted on several platforms and many found the clip adorable. On Twitter, comments flooded in regarding the wolves’ thoughtfulness and love for their kids. @BlueChickie commented, “Bones and antlers for the wintertime munchies.” @gelnda_meyer wrote, “Wolf families are no different than us humans. During wolf hunting season, one of these parents can be killed and the kids wait for a parent who doesn't return. The 'kids' are left on their own, get hungry and kill/eat smaller prey or livestock.”

It is simply wonderful to see how even wild animals have those parental traits for their kids and are going the extra mile to do something more than just provide food. It is a well-known fact that even animals go through the stages of parenthood and have similar concepts like teething, feeding, walking and so on.
