Biographical Text

Lobo was a on of the famous outlaw wolves Old Snowdrift and Lady Snowdrift. He and his littermates - Diana, Montana, and Boreas - were the survivors of the Snowdrifts' first litter discovered by wolfers; the rest of the litter crawled into the crevices of the den and died. Lobo's other sibling, Silvermoon, was obtained from the second Snowdrift litter discovered by wolfers.1(p.2)

Lobo and his siblings were mostly tamed by the Wolfer Griffith before they were sent to Dr. McCleery.1(p.6)

He was mated to Flash.1(p.17) After Flash's death, mated to Montana II, the daughter of his sister Montana.1(p.17)
