wolf pup

Pack's baby member

A wolf pup is a young wolf, typically under a year old.

The term emphasizes the animal's juvenile state—dependent on the pack, still learning to hunt: The wolf pups tumbled over each other outside the den.

Pup is the standard term for young wolves, as puppy is for domestic dogs.
