More cuddly than fierce, this tawny brown and white wolf pup hand puppet is fresh from the den with fluffy, soft fur to keep both you and him warm this winter. His sweet expressive face features perky ears, brilliant blue eyes and a movable muzzle. Not the lone wolf type, this gregarious little chap will angle for plenty of affection and soon lead your puppet pack.
Wolf cubs are born in an earth den in spring, usually four to six of them, and stay underground for the first three or four weeks. The whole pack raises them: older siblings carry meat home too and regurgitate it at the den as soon as a cub nudges the corner of their mouth. At around eight weeks the family moves to an open gathering ground that biologists call a rendezvous site, where the young wait while the adults hunt. Playing together, they practise stalking, gripping and backing down before a stronger animal. From autumn they run along on hunts, yet only in their second winter do they contribute much.
Did you know that every wolf cub opens its eyes blue? The lids part about two weeks after birth, and the blue is no pigment at all: it comes from the way light scatters in an iris that has yet to darken. Between the eighth and the sixteenth week pigment is laid down and the eyes shift gradually to amber. An adult wolf with blue eyes does not exist.
