I wonder; can wolves have twins?
I know that humans can get twins, and that there have been families with having up to 3 or 4 twins.
But what about wolves?

Wolves can do better than that. The average litter is 5-6 pups.
I cannot see that wolves are in any way nobler in character than hyenas- Frederick Selous

Yeah I know that, but I was just giving an example. All I wonder is if wolves can have twins, adnd maybe up to 3 or 4 twins, like with humans, in that case.La Striata wrote:Wolves can do better than that. The average litter is 5-6 pups.
I know that wolves can get far more pups than humans can get children at once. c;

Re: Wolf twins?
- Dogs can have twins so supposedly wolves can too. You wouldn't know however unless watching the birth, as both pups have to be sharing the same birth "Sac". The probability of a wolf have multiple litters of twins is no doubt possible, but as with humans it's a slim chance of having more than one set of twins. It's odds of about 1 in 500,000 to have 3 sets of twins in a row. In regards to "identical" twins however I'm afraid I can't give you a definite answer, although I'd sway to saying it is possible however with exceptional low odds of having a perfect match.
