A remote video camera captured a wild wolf family in Montana playing at a rendezvous site.  The definition of a wolf rendezvous site is a place for puppies to stay while the rest of the family is off hunting.  Wolves will leave the pups with a babysitter for safe keeping at a rendezvous site. In this video the adult babysitter plays a game of tug of war using a stick and all the pups join in on the game.
