WOLVES CARE FOR THEIR CHILDREN
Wolves take very good care of their young, or pups. Their parental skills have even been compared with that of the Great Apes. Pups are born in the spring, and all the throughout the summer, the entire pack works together to care for, and feed the pups. Sometimes, a wolf will even go hungry in order to feed the pups. They seem to enjoy the company of younger wolves, and sometimes, will compete with each other for time with the pups. Large packs may invade another pack's territory, and in such a case, might kill pups from the rival pack. Though, in rarer, less violent situations, they may even adopt pups from other packs, if given the chance.

The joey spends about 6-8 months in the mother's pouch being nursed. In the initial stages, the joey stays attached to the teat until it is ready to begin being independent. A mother kangaroo is capable of having more than one joey of different ages in the pouch at the same time, feeding on different types of milk.
