When does a wolf pup usually leave the den?

*Padding in* Wolf pups are a lot like dogs in that respect, the pups are born blind, deaf, and completely dependent on their mother. There are 1–14 pups per litter, with the average litter size being about four to six. Pups reside in the den, where they are born, and stay there until they reach about _8_WEEKS_ of age (the den is usually on high ground near an open water source, and has an open "room" at the end of an underground/hillside tunnel that can be up to a few meters long). During this time, the pups will become more independent, and will eventually begin to explore the area immediately outside the den before gradually roaming up to a mile away from it. They begin eating regurgitated foods at four weeks – by which time their milk teeth have emerged – and are weaned by six weeks. During the first weeks of development, the mother usually stays with her litter alone, but eventually most members of the pack will contribute to the rearing of the pups in some way.\n\nAfter two months, the restless pups will be moved to a rendezvous site, which gives them a safe place to reside while most of the adults go out to hunt. An adult or two will stay behind to ensure the safety of the pups. After a few more weeks, the pups are permitted to join the adults if they are able (they tag along as observers until about eight months, by which time they are large enough to actively participate), and will receive first dibs on anything killed, their low ranks notwithstanding. Letting the pups fight for the right to eat results in a secondary ranking being formed among them, and lets them practice the dominance/submission rituals that will be essential to their future survival in pack life.\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolf

Withhold any form of affection. That usually works. Or if you're really smart about it, you'll accidently let loose the dogs somewhere in a desolute forest or park of some sort.

Female dogs are driven by something called estrus. Satisfaction is not an issue during the actual estrus stage females could care less about being satisfied...they care only about mating with as many males as possible. For an explination of the estrus cycle and it different parts continue reading. \nThe average estrus cycle in a dog is approximately twenty-one days and this cycle usually occurs every six to seven months. The first cycle will often depend on the size of the dog. Small breeds such, as Chihuahuas or Toy Poodles will come into heat between five and seven months. Large breeds like the Collie, Mastiff or Great Dane may have their first heat cycle at six months but it isn’t unusual for them to delay until they are a twelve to sixteen months. Larger dogs develop at a much slower rate than small dogs. \n\n\nThere are three distinct stages of the heat cycle. The first one is the “Proestrus” and it is during this stage the owner will often notice the bleeding from the vulva. The bleeding itself can be slight or she can leave evidence of her condition everywhere she sits or lays. For those owners who keep their dogs in the house, many pet stores carry dog panties that hold special canine sanitary napkins to eliminate the mess. In addition to bleeding, the vulva will also swell and the dog will usually have an increase in urination. The most obvious sign to most owners are the increase in population of male dogs around their house. This proestrus part of the cycle will last between seven and ten days and the female will make it clear she wants no part of the male during this time. Unfortunately for the owner, the male dogs don’t know how to take no for an answer. They will climb or dig under fences, attempt to breed through the fence if the female strays close enough and often serenade the dog and owner into the wee hours of the night. \n\n\nThe second stage or actual “Estrus” stage of the heat cycle will often begin between the eight and tenth day after the first sign of color (bleeding). During this time the color of the blood has gone from bright red to pink and then to an almost clear discharge. It is during this stage most females will allow a dog, in fact ANY dog to breed her. The estrus stage can last between four and seven days and it must be remembered the female can become pregnant with mixed litters. Just because you bred your purebred collie to another collie doesn’t mean she can’t have puppies with the Doberman next door and the German Shepherd up the street. Your best bet is to keep her confined in the house during the entire estrus cycle or take the easy way out and board her for the necessary time. If you keep her at home, you may want to purchase a crate to keep her in. I had one collie that attempted to chew the front door down to get to the male outside. When that didn’t work, she leapt through our front window as soon as I went to pick up the kids at school. After her rendezvous with my male collie outside, she went over the fence because she had taken a liking to the chow that had been panting after her for over a week. \n\nIf you do decide to breed your dog, she will show her willingness to be bred by “flagging” whenever you scratch the area directly above her tail. By flagging, she will actually stand still and lift her tail up and out of the way. For those breeds that have had their tails docked, you will just have to wing it although a veterinarian can do a vaginal smear. Each stage of the cycle will have different types of cells appear on the slide. \n\n\nThe third stage of the heat cycle is the “Diestrus.” This is when the female is going out of heat. During this time she will still be giving off the heat “scent” and males will still be congregating for her attentions. Once again she will be out of the mood and will snap at the males or sit and lie down when they try to mount her. The diestrus stage will last approximately seven to ten days. Once it is over, the dog

It depends entirley on hair colour, most adapt so that they blend in, but you can see them moving if there are lots, mostly they cling on to the hair as they find it very difficult to move out of hair. I have provided some links to close up pics of the beasties!

What untill the animal shows aggressive signs.  If the mountain lion has a wayof escape it will typically flee.  If it feels threatened it will attack for more info visit http://www.nps.gov/yose/wilderness/bsafety.htm

*Wandering in*\n\nThe gray wolf, Canis lupus, lives in the northern latitudes around the world, while the red wolf, Canis rufus, lives only in North America. A possible third species, Abyssinian or Ethiopian wolf, Canis simensis, which some scientists believe is really a jackal, lives on the highlands of Ethiopia. The issue of wolf species and particularly subspecies is a complex technical topic of disagreement among scientists. A subspecies is a group of individuals within a species that share a geographic location and may have some unique physical characteristics. Wolves throughout the world can be grouped into several subspecies, somewhat similarly to the way human populations are grouped into races.\n\nSubspecies are often difficult to distinguish from one another. This is because they interbreed where their ranges overlap so that their populations tend to blend together rather than form distinctive boundaries. The different traits we see in subspecies are likely the result of geographic range, available habitat, and prey base. Skull dimensions, overall size, fur color, and the length of appendages are some of the characteristics that differ between subspecies of gray wolf.\n\nFor the past few decades, most wolf biologists agreed that 24 subspecies of the gray wolf lived in North America, and 12-13 lived in Eurasia. This classification scheme was largely based on geographic location of each wolf population or the type of habitat in which it lived (e.g., eastern timber wolf). New research, especially studies of skull measurements, has shown that many of these subspecies were the same as one another. In addition, researchers found that dispersing wolves traveled over great distances, frequently crossing geographic boundaries that had been arbitrarily drawn by humans. These discoveries made the criteria for distinguishing among subspecies less distinct.\n\nRecent studies by Nowak (1995) have suggested that gray wolves in North America be lumped into 5 subspecies. Additionally, Nowak (1995) and Nowak and Federoff (2002) suggest that those of Eurasia be lumped into 6 existing subspecies, plus the possibility of 2 existing and 2 extinct subspecies that Nowak was unable to study. Other scientists still recognize more subspecies. Another recent study by Nowak (2002) suggests that there were 3 subspecies of red wolves, with 1 still existing in the wild. Although debate continues, today's classification scheme is based largely on the following subspecies and species (red wolf):\n\nNorth America\n\nCanis lupus arctos is commonly known as the arctic wolf. Arctic wolves live primarily in the Arctic, the region located above 67° north latitude. Since the predominant color phase of this subspecies is a creamy white, which camouflages it in snowy surroundings, it is often called the white wolf.\n\nCanis lupus baileyi is the smallest North American gray wolf, originally found in Mexico and the southwestern United States. It is commonly known as the Mexican wolf or lobo. Mexican wolves were exterminated from the wild in the United States by the late 1970's, but have been reintroduced into Arizona and New Mexico.\n\nCanis lupus lycaon is the first subspecies to be recognized in the United States. It is commonly known as the eastern timber wolf. Canis lupus lycaon inhabited the eastern portions of the United States and southeastern parts of Canada. Before the classification scheme was revised in 1995, it was thought that this was the subspecies that inhabited Minnesota, Michigan and Wisconsin. It is now thought that Canis lupus nubilus is the race that inhabits these areas, and Canis lupus lycaon lives in southeastern Canada. These distinctions may be confusing, since most people in the Lake Superior region generally refer to wolves as "timber wolves."\n\nCanis lupus nubilus once ranged throughout the Great Plains of the United States and Canada. It is commonly known as the Great Plains wolf or the buffalo wolf. It was thou

While a gray wolf is a canine, it is not a domestic breed.  Show dogs must be one of several certified breeds recognized by a particular governing body such as the American Kennel Club (AKC).  There are also international organizations who determine the validity of a breed for certain show dogs.

Someone throws it up on here at least a few times a day. Usually some chicken little selling wolf tickets. Anyway here is a link to help you make sense of it.

If it is bad, go to the hospital.  The dog should probably be quarantined for rabies.  Consult the hospital or a doctor for real medical advice, but that is what happened when I was attacked by someone's "domestic" wolf.
