I was just wondering, what is the correct term for a male and a female wolf?

I thought it was the same as dogs; Dog and Bitch but I wasn't sure.

Also, a baby wolf is a 'cub', isn't it? Not a 'pup'?

I'm not sure about male and female, but a baby wolf is a wolf pup. The feline family call their young cubs, and so do bears. But the canine family pretty much always call their young pups. :wink:

You can call the young cubs or pups. Yes, the male and female names are the same for wolves as dogs, but used to, on here I'd call them studs and butches and pups, so as not to confuse young children. Now I call them studs and bitches and pups.
