What is an alpha male and female?

• An alpha female and male is the head female and
  male of the pack. Also the alpha female and the
  alpha male are the only ones that are supposed to
  mate in the pack. There is only one alpha male
  and one alpha female per pack.

4
What is a wolf hierarchy?

• All wolves have a place in the hierarchy starting
  from the lowest (subordinance) and going to the
  highest (dominance)

5
Have you ever wondered about the baby wolves?

• Most litters or groups of young have 5 or 6 pups.
  But, a litter can have as many as 12 pups. At
  birth the pups cant see or hear.

6
How long until wolf pups can walk?

• After 2 weeks the pups can walk, and in about 3
  weeks they come out of their den for the first
  time.

7
How do wolf pups find their place in the
hierarchy?

• The wolf pups play with each other, wrestling to
  be on the top. This is how they decide where
  their place is in the hierarchy. However,
  sometimes other wolves try to defeat the leader
  of the pack.

8
Have you ever wondered why wolves howl at the
moon?

• Really, they are not howling at the moon. They
  are howling to communicate with other packs and
  to call back pack members.

9
How do wolves show sadness for a lost mate?

• They howl to show sadness at the death of a mate
  or the wolf leader.

10
WHAT DO WOLVES Prefer?

• THEY LIKE LARGE LIVESTOCK, LIKE moose and
  caribou. They would prefer to hunt BIG GAME,
  rather than a squirrel or rabbit, but
  occasionally they will have a snack!
•

Wolves will attack all people. 
MYTH

• Not true! They will attack you if you come too
  close, if you hurt one of their babies or pack
  members, they will also attack if they see you
  with a gun. Wolves are really gentle creatures.

12
What do wolves eat?

• Arctic wolves eat mostly arctic hares, caribou,
  musk oxen, and Dall sheep. Minnesota, wolves
  feed on deer and moose. Red wolves living in the
  south eat rabbits, beaver, and mice.

13
Who raises the wolf pups?

• The whole pack raises the pups. When the
  mothers ready to hunt again, one of the pack
  members-an older brother or sister-stays with the
  pups.

14
Who brings the pups food?

• The entire pack will help bring the pups food and
  defend them, if necessary. The pups learn their
  place on the pack and how to obey pack leaders
  from the adults. Pups who misbehave are grabbed
  by the scruff of the neck and carried away from
  the pack.

15
Where do wolves build their dens?

• All wolves build their den under ground not above
  ground like in a cave. The mother wolf digs a den
  or uses an old used one. The den is underground
  and it goes down in the earth and then it turns
  and then theres a lot of space for the mother
  and the pups when they are born.

16
When are pups ready for solid food?

• By around 4 weeks of age the pups are still too
  small to follow the pack to the kill, but their
  teeth are growing and theyre ready to eat solid
  food.

17
When are the pups too big to be nursed?

• By 8 weeks, the pups have their teeth and no
  longer need their mothers milk. She weans them
  by rolling onto her stomach when they try to
  nurse.
