At Howletts Wild Animal Park, red wolf cubs were born. All 12 cubs born in late March are healthy and gain weight quickly.
As a rule, 5 to 9 cubs are born in the litter of red wolves, and twelve are rare. “It’s very rare for a red wolf to have so many babies,” said Ben Warren, head of mammals.
Every day cubs become more active and independent. They show great interest in the rest of their relatives and spend a lot of time playing games. “Now near the enclosure with wolves gathers a lot of visitors who are happy to watch the cheerful offspring,” says Mr. Warren.
Red wolves (Latin Cuon alpinus) live in the highlands of Central and South Asia. They are found everywhere in India, Tibet and Bhutan, as well as in Russia to the Amur and Altai. However, recently their number has decreased significantly due to active human activity.
Red wolves hunt deer, deer and boars. The whole flock takes part in the hunt, trying to drive its victim into some trap. Sometimes sent forward "flank", which drive the prey directly into the flock or surround it. These predators are excellent hunters, able to cope even with a large deer.
Red wolves are monogamous and spend their entire lives with one partner. Similarly, red wolves behave in captivity, trying not to cheat on their partner. In addition, their father takes care of the cubs, who, while they are very young, does not enter the den, but guards it and brings food.
When the mother retires on her own business, the father follows them, turning into a gentle and trembling nanny. The cubs play with him, can bite on the ears and tail, and he patiently bears all their pranks. Pregnancy in a female lasts 60-62 days, after which 5-9 cubs covered with dark brown hair, resembling ordinary cubs, are born.
Their eyes open at 13-14 days, at six months of age they reach the mass of adult wolves. Sexual maturity occurs at 1-2 years. The red wolf is listed by the IUCN in the International Red Book with the status of “disappearing species”, as well as in the Red Book of Russia.
