'Reasons why they howl:
'To notify other pack members of their location.
'To inform other packs of where they are and their own territory.
'For the attraction of a mate.
'To reassemble a scattered pack.
'To get a pack riled up before a hunt
'When disturbed
'When stressed (most often by wolf pups)
'At the presence of an intruder
'After playing or other social events
'After waking up
'To call for help
Pups
Pups are born completely dependent on the their mother and other members of the pack. An entire wolf pack helps care for and raise the pups. Even non-breeding female wolves produce milk for the pups and the males take turns babysitting. Only one litter is born each year, usually with four to six pups.
Once pregnant it takes about 63 days before the pups are born. Both blind and deaf the pup spends the first month in the den with their mother. The pups weigh about one pound each but they grow quickly. Approximately two weeks after they are born the pups open their eyes. By this time the pups can walk. It will take another week before the pups can hear. Soon they will be able to leave the safety of the den for the first time. It will be a few weeks before they can start eating meat that is regurgitated from the stomachs of the adult wolves.
Wolf packs love pups, every wolf in the pack takes care of the pups. Pack members bring food to the mother when she can not leave the pups. Once the pups are older the other pack members take turns watching the pups. Wolf pups love to play. Play is very important in the development of the pups. The pups practice and learn things they will do as adults. Such as, playing with bones, and skins of dead animals as toys. As the pups grow they will start to hunt rabbits, voles, and other small animals. It is all practice for when they are adults and hunt with the pack for larger animals.
