Pups able to be away from parents - 6-9 months
Able to eat on their own, full of energy and starting to show their adult fur coats. Noted for exploring.
Adolescents -10 months to a year
Wolves learn to hunt at this age and test authority at this age. Still smaller then the adults. Have their coat colors now. Will not change coloring.
Adults - 2-4
These wolves are sexually mature, at their physical peak and find their rank in the pack at this age. If the pack does not suit them, they will become loners for a time before finding new that suits them.
Older Adults - 5-6
Physically at their best, muscles toned and experienced. They tend to be the ones asked for advice.
Elder -7-9
7: Still able to hunt, these elders lack stamina. Fur starts to thin.
8: Physically, they are starting to show lacking size and muscle. The wolf can not hunt and is the General range where the wolf starves to death.
9: Teeth rotten, often thin and thinning fur, the wolf will stay on pack ground. Often babysitting with the Omega.
Loners
Age: 2-6
As a loner, the wolf will not live passed 6 as the stresses of being without a pack kills them off.Cougar or Bear attacks or the harshness of nature starves them.
Size and growth:
Wolves in general do not reach their full weight until they are 2 years of age.A wolf will reach it's full height at the age of 18 months (year and a half).Males will reach their size later then females, as females are smaller.Arctic females are the only females able to be larger then the average male wolf. A young wolf's facial structuring will become that of a mature wolf's around 9 months of age. This is the snout becoming longer, losing the 'puppy' look. The head has grown into the large ears of youth and the eyes are no longer as large as they appeared as a pup.
