Puppies: One litter of pups is born to a pack each year. That’s because the alpha female only gives birth. They weigh 1 pound at birth. They are born blind, deaf, and helpless. The pups are born in a den and stay there for 2 months. They are fully weaned at 10 weeks old. The pups observe the adults hunting, until there’re 8 months old. Then they are old enough to hunt with the pack.
