CAPTION ATTACHED TO PHOTO OF WOLVES TRAVELING THROUGH SNOW AS A PACK IS FALSE

狼成群结队穿越雪地的照片上的说明是假的

This popular photo has been circulating around the internet for many years now. The photograph is typically accompanied with a caption that reads like this:

这张受欢迎的照片已经在网上流传多年了。照片通常附有这样的标题：

“A wolf pack. The first three are the old or sick. They give the pace to the entire pack. If it was the other way round, they would be left behind, losing contact with the pack. In the case of an ambush, they would be sacrificed.

“狼群。前三个是老人或病人。他们给了整个团队的速度。如果是另一种情况，它们就会被甩在后面，失去与狼群的联系。如果有埋伏，他们会被牺牲。

“Then come five strong ones, the front line. In the center are the rest of the pack members, then the five strongest following.

“那就来5个强的，前线。在中间的是其他成员，然后是最强大的五个成员。

“Last is alone, the alpha. He controls everything from the rear. In that position, he can see everything and decide the direction. He sees all of the pack.

“最后一个人，阿尔法。他从后方控制一切。在这个位置上，他可以看到一切并决定方向。他看到了所有的包。

“The pack moves according to the elder’s pace and helps each other, watches each other.”

“这群人按照长者的步调移动，互相帮助，互相监视。”

Many times over the years, the International Wolf Center has been asked if this caption is in fact true.

多年来，国际狼中心多次被问到这句话是否属实。

It is not true.

这不是真的。

This photo was taken in 2011 at Wood Buffalo National Park by Chadden Hunter for a BBC series called Frozen Planet.. The caption, which is not an accurate interpretation of the behavior in the picture, was added at a later date by an unknown source.

这张照片是2011年在伍德布法罗国家公园拍摄的，由查登·亨特为BBC一个名为《冰冻星球》的系列节目拍摄。。这个标题并不是对照片中行为的准确解释，而是后来由一个未知来源添加的。

In the photo, a large pack of 25 wolves travels through deep snow. To save energy, they travel in a line, with the wolf in front cutting a path. Moving through the snow in this manner saves energy. Understanding it from this perspective, it would not make sense to have the oldest and weakest in the front because they would have to use the most energy to cut the path for the group.

在这张照片中，一大群25只狼穿过厚厚的积雪。为了节省能源，它们排成一行，前面的狼在开辟一条路。以这种方式在雪地里行走可以节省能源。从这个角度来理解这一点，让年龄最大、最弱的人站在最前面是没有意义的，因为他们必须用最大的精力为团队开辟道路。

Think about when you travel through deep snow and how tiring it can be over time. If you were old, weak, or injured how easy would it be for you? The same is true for wolves.

想想当你穿越厚厚的积雪，久而久之会有多累。如果你老了，虚弱了，或者受伤了，这对你来说有多容易？狼也是如此。

The wolf in the back has simply fallen behind the rest of the group for unknown reasons and it does not relate to status. The wolf may have stopped to investigate something, or is compromised in some way, and is having trouble keeping up.

后面的狼只是因为未知的原因落后于其他人，这与地位无关。狼可能停下来调查一些事情，或者在某种程度上受到了损害，并且很难跟上。

Note: The caption in this photo uses the term alpha wolf. The International Wolf Center no longer uses the term alpha wolf.

注：这张照片的标题使用了alpha wolf这个词。国际狼中心不再使用阿尔法狼这个词。
