Where are you, and can I live in your basement? Because even only counting tuition, I am currently paying 4909€ for college (I hope I did that right)

I have seen this picture in the corners of the internet for years now, and just started watching OitNB. Just recognized her. I am a happy human

What lovely people you two are

This comment's purpose is so when somebody posts it I may also enjoy

Majority of males disperse, or leave the pack, after they turn a year old; some may wait until their 2nd year, but very few don't leave at all. The dispersal males will go solo until they find a female they like, and then that pair becomes the breeding pair of a brand-new pack. (Imagine getting kicked out of your house at 18, and being homeless until you find a lady to date. And then you build your own house...out of dirt. Wait, this is a bad analogy)

Feel free to ask if you need any more info, and if you have time before your story is due, do a little research on feral children to learn how children may behave without human interaction during their youth (Oxana Malaya in particular is pertinent!) Thanks to @fasuara for letting me hijack your post! It's 5:15 am here so goodnight ^.^

Can also provide necessary food for the baby. If the baby is cared for during its first winter instead of abandoned (a baby/toddler would be a huge amount of effort and energy; imagine raising a child for 50 years, and at the end of that time they're barely kindergarten aged), it may continue to be cared for as long as there is a pack member in good standing to defend the baby. Because of the harsh winters, the infant/toddler will have to stay well protected from the cold, needing constant warmth from other wolves. Other things to consider: wolves that choose to stay with the pack rather than disperse (particularly, females tend to be more likely to stay with their birth pack) may bond with the baby more firmly than wolves that were adults at the baby's introduction. Even as an adult, the human would be highly susceptible to cold. I know I'm kind of rambling, but I hope this helps with your story, and I'd love to read it once you're done, if you don't mind! Feel free to (4/?)

With any amount of independence. That's more than an average wolf's lifetime! This means not only one generous wolf would raise this baby, but potentially several generations of the pack.
After the baby is weaned, it may attempt to be fed regurgitated meat, like young pups are. Humans are omnivores though, so even if it became used to the raw, chewed-up meat, it wouldn't be very healthy for it.
In some cases (there's a documentary called Living With Wolves you may find helpful!) adult humans may, in very very rare cases, integrate themselves into a wolf pack. This means they are fairly respected, so they may influence a wolf pack's decision to "adopt" another human. For your story, if you choose to feature a grown human guardian, it could be a scientist, or another human that was possibly taken into the pack during childhood, at least 8-10 years old, maybe younger but that would be highly unlikely. This grown human, presuming they've been feeding themselves, can also (3/?)
