Fun Facts About Female Wolves

In recent years biologists have learned so much about behavior and social structure of wolf packs.

Here are a few fun facts about female wolf adults, wolf pack organization, pup rearing, and how young wolves grow up.

The wolf pack is the family unit

Today, scientists know that most wolf packs are tight-knit family units of 10 or fewer wolves that chiefly consist of a father and mother wolf and their offspring of both genders.

In larger packs when the hunting is good, there may be more than one wolf couple that has pups, but this is not the pack norm.

It takes a community to raise a wolf pup

Offspring will often stick around to help the female wolf while she is raising up to two or three subsequent litters before forming a new pack to raise their own cubs.

So, many wolf mothers have more help raising their cubs than dog moms or human moms! You could even say that raising each new litter is a family affair.

The female wolf mom-to-be is responsible for digging the den, which is often quite deep – up to 14 feet below the soil’s surface.

She is also is primarily responsible for nursing the pups.

Mother wolves lick their pups them to remind them to do their business and watch over them until around 5 to 8 weeks old.

However, the whole pack also contributes as needed.

Around the age of 10 weeks, young pups are ready to get out and about and the den is largely abandoned.

At this time, other pack members step in to help socialize and guard the pups while the mother returns to the hunt.

If a young pup is hungry, they lick the muzzle of an adult to ask them to regurgitate food.

Spring is the season for wolf pups

Wolf mamas only have pups once a year and always in the spring.

Wolf pups grow up faster than their domesticated canine counterparts and have an earlier, shorter period of socialization.

By the age of six months, wolf pups are out hunting with their pack. However, adulthood comes later for wolves, who don’t generally start to mate until age two or later.

Wild wolf lifespan

In the wild, a female wolf adult is lucky to live to the age of four or five. The oldest wild wolf on record, named B2M, was estimated to be around age 13 when he passed.

Naming Your Female Wolf Puppy or Rescue Dog

When you are pondering naming your female wolf puppy or rescue dog, it is not uncommon to feel your mind just go blank.

Conversely, sometimes your mind becomes so packed with possible naming ideas you feel at a loss for which name to choose.

Don’t rush yourself though. Instead, just take a break and hang out with your new pup for a while.

This could include playing, just cuddling and chances are the perfect name will pop out at you later.

Most likely when you are not even contemplating female wolf names!

Here are a few more helpful naming tips to consider:

Choose a short, percussive name that is easy to say again and again during training sessions.

If you have your heart set on a longer formal name, see if you can shorten it into a nickname for daily use.

Try not to name your new female pup something that sounds too much like common training commands as this may be frustrating for you both.

Be sure the name you choose is a name you won’t mind saying (or shouting) out in public as the need arises!

Before naming your new pup after someone in your family, it is always a good idea to ask just to make sure they feel suitably honored.

Most of today’s dogs have come a very long way since their last wild ancestor.

A female Czech Wolfdogs and wolf hybrids are among the most unique canines on the planet.

Since there is no way to know how much your new pup may inherit from the wolf or dog parent, you will truly be learning as you go.

And this is true will be true for many aspects such as how to care for, socialize, and enjoy your new companion.
