How does a wolf pack decide which alpha male or alpha female becomes the leader?
The alpha male and female wolves are generally the biggest, strongest, and smartest wolves in the pack. They sort of pick themselves and hold their positions in the pack with their strengths. What is the largest den that you have ever seen? Where and how big? The only dens I’ve seen belong to red wolves. The biggest one I saw had about a six-foot-long tunnel (not big enough for a human to crawl through). Wolves generally don’t make huge dens. Sometimes they use dens that other animals have made. Or dens made by nature. How long are wolves pregnant? At what age can a wolf get pregnant? Have you ever seen a wolf give birth? Wolves give birth after a pregnancy of 63 days. A female can have pups when she is nine months old, but generally they are at least two years old before they give birth. And yes, I’ve seen a wolf give birth. Do you know the age of the oldest wolf that is now living? Are older wolves treated differently in their pack? I’m afraid I don’t know the age of the oldest livin
