BACK TO WILDLIFE
Generally a wolf's litter is 5 to 8 pups. They
are as cute as domestic puppies and similarly are weaned at 6
to 8 weaks when their teeth make feeding very painful for the
mom! They eat food that the mother has regurgitated and will join
the pack to learn the essentials of life soon thereafter. Their
play antics are actually crucial training in the skills needed
to survive in the harsh wilderness.

20 million years ago one species of wolf was larger than today's
bear. They had huge jaws which crushed bones and skulls. Relatives
of the wolf in foreign lands include hyena, dingo, Saharan fenec,
arctic fox and African wild dog.
