TINA

Weight: 11 kg (1September 2007)

Social status and pack membership: born in the “JAVORNIKI” pack; in 2008 she left the pack and moved northwards; as a lone wolf she lived for a time in 2008 in the area of the Ljubljana Marsh, then returned to the Dinaric forests; during the winter of 2009/2010 at the latest, in the region of Menišija, the Logatec plateau, and Rakitna, she found a partner and formed her own pack—we surmise that she currently has the status of alpha female in the “MENIŠIJA” pack, but for confirmation we are waiting for new genetic samples. For additional information and analysis of the use of space by the wolf Tina, see the undergraduate thesis by Nina Ražen [in Slovene])
