The Grasslands Trust team, a registered charitable trust dedicated to wolf conservation in Pune district, has documented 15 wolves in a single frame after analysing tracking data. This marks the first confirmed record of such a large group of wolves captured together in one photograph at Morgaon in Pune district. Mihir Godbole from The Grasslands Trust told mid-day that this is a record from the previous breeding cycles of the year 2022–23 recorded in the Pune district.

“This is the first confirmed record of 15 individuals caught in a single frame. There are a few records of pack sizes larger than 10 or 12 but no photo or video is available/published till now. Interestingly, it was only the adult breeding pair that produced 13 pups. All of which survived through the first year of their life, which is critical,” said Godbole
