No Pup Left Behind ― African Golden Wolf, Tanzania

Energetic African golden wolf pups get attacked by their parents while docile pups get pampered. What gives? It's all part of an incredible educational system designed for the savanna. The young are taught to protect themselves while scavenging and seeking out small rodents in the tall grass. Yet all this time no pup is left behind. Those showing initiative are soon encouraged to leave and become independent. The timid variety may stay with the parents and help raise the next generation.
