Wolves will keep their pups at the den for a couple months before moving them to new pup rearing sites known as rendezvous sites. Often, rendezvous sites are closer to water and on less steep terrain than den sites and provide enough water for many mouths and are in areas where pups can move around easier. In this video, pups can be seen greeting a pack member after it returns to the rendezvous sites during an overnight trip. The pups are about seven weeks old in this video.
