Growing up
When a female wolf is ready to give birth, she finds a den. A den is a safe shelter where she
gives birth and takes care of her pups after they are born. The pups live in the den for the
first three to four weeks of their lives. The pack protects the den from predators.

Outside the den

When the pups are one to two months old, they join the rest of the pack at a rendezvous site, or meeting place. The pups
grow, play, and learn to hunt at the rendezvous site. When the pups become juveniles, they learn to hunt with the pack.

A gray wolf's life cycle

litter has four to seven pups.

The pup nurses for at least four weeks. It then starts eating other foods as well.

When a wolf is about six months old, it is called a juvenile. Juveniles spend a lot of time playing together! They jump on
one another and wrestle.
