Wolf cubs
Cubs
A group of baby wolves born at the same time is called a litter. There are five to fourteen cubs in a litter, but six is the average. Wolf babies are blind and deaf at birth, with fine wooly ®hair¯ and floppy ®ears¯. They weigh about one pound. The babies open their ®eyes¯ about two weeks after birth and they can ®hear¯ after about three weeks. The ®eyes¯ are blue at first but change to yellow later on. The cubs can walk by two weeks of age. A week later, they come out of the den for the first time and play at the entrance. ®Wolf¯ parents are among the best animal parents in the world, and the cubs get a lot of loving care from their parents, including feeding, cleaning and protection. The mother ®wolf¯ stays close to the pups. She usually doesn't have to leave the babies to look for food because the father and other family members bring the food to her. In fact, sometimes ®wolves¯ will carry food more than twenty miles back to the den for their pups.
