What is a wolf's home called?

Wolves live in family groups called packs. A pack is usually made up of a male parent, a female parent and their pups from the last few years.

Usually, four to six pups are born together in a litter. The pups in a litter are called littermates. Their first home is usually a den, which can be a small cave or a hole dug in the ground. It must be big enough to shelter the mother and pups from weather and protect the pups from other animals that may want to hurt them. Packs sometimes use the same den for several years, or they may find a new den each year.

Carol has now solidified her lead by an additional 10 length on her Race to the Bottom! Stay tuned for updates.

I always thought it was a wolfs "Lair"?

Char, Are you really not aware that Carol and the “Four Horsemen” are company bots, not human beings? Save your tender heart for actual humans suffering from unfair criticism of their insulting questions. You will discover that criticism of actual human authors here is virtually non-existent. I assumed that everyone was aware that Carol, David, etc. were bot fake “writers”.

Saw a video of a female wolf giving birth with her hubby right beside her and they play with the baby as it's being born.

In the Cub Scouts, you are in a den and the first badge you can win is the wolf.

Dawn Howarth Was Bridge, I have this to say about that: They give people who write questions about rules of Cricket, Tennis Champions and Postal Abbreviation; all the same number of points. Then there are those of us who strictly answer questions. I used to live in Big Sur, California in the early 80s. I worked at a wonderful place called Nepenthe. On Friday Night we played poker (Stud). And after Sunday night dinner we played Trivial Pursuit for Money. $10.00, $20.00 and $40.00 buy-ins, winner take all. We got real inventive as different sets of questions cards came out. We would mix them all together. I am 72 years old and have played Jeopardy since it was a morning game show (when I wasn’t skiing for a living). Maybe I should write questions about Ski Racing.

A den or a lair.

Darlene Davidson, that fairytale has created so much damage for the wolfs.

Karin Johansson

Sue Grayson, It is a den too.

Kathryn Cavanagh

Dawn Howarth Was Bridge, correct answers would be a better solution, and I don't normally "winge" about the game, or "whine" either..Except when there are no correct answers given..!!
