What are the male and female wolves called?

Answer 1

The male wolf is called a Brute, while the female is called a Fae. :)

---

Actually, 'brute' and 'fae' are slangy terms used by people who role-play wolves and think that's the actual word for the two genders. If they've ever checked the dictionary, a 'brute' means beast, animal, or beastly. No where is it mentioned that 'brute' means 'male wolf'. A 'fae' is a fuel-air explosive. A bomb. I was never aware that female wolves were called bombs.

The REAL terms for the two genders are she-wolf and bitch for female wolves. For male wolves, and male wolves are referred to as just wolves - like male and female. Wolf and she-wolf.

Answer 2

Rare as female werewolves are in the world of television and film it is difficult to say with any authority what the proper term (if any exists) for one might be. However, in my experience, both of the terms werewolf and shewolf are acceptable.

However, it possible to arrive at a gender specific (feminine) term based on (one of) the accepted etymology of the term werewolf. The term werewolf is thought to be derived from the Old English words wer (or were) and wulf. The later is clearly the ancestor word of the Modern English wolf, though it could also be used to describe a beast. The Old English word wer is a gender specific term for a male human. The Old English word mann (or man) being a gender non-specific (i.e. equivalent to the Modern English human). Hence the term werewolf literally means 'manwolf' or 'manbeast'.

Assuming a similar pattern of etymology, it stands to reason that the Old Englsih word wif, a gender specific term referring to a female human, should be invoked when referring to a female 'werewolf'. However, wif is thought to be the common root of the Modern English words wife and woman (only the word fragment woin the later case). So the correct terminology for a female 'werewolf' could arguably be either wifwolf or wowolf (if one accepts the corrupted woover the uncorrupted wif, which has come to refer to married women only).

Answer 3

There is no such thing as just a female pack. The core of a pack is a mated pair of wolves - an adult male and female that have bred and produced young. These are called the Alpha pairs. In larger packs the next rank is the Beta pair. This Male and Female are second in charge. When the Alpha's are away or they are patrolling the border these wolves are in charge. Next is the various subordinates, who makes up the rest of the pack but are still more dominate then the omega. The omega is the lowest. It is the baby-sitter, the youngest wolf (besides pups) or it's a wolf that had just been excepted by the pack. The pups are next. They are the youngest obviously. So you see that there is no such thing as a female pack. There can, however, be a female lone wolf. A wolf that is looking for a pack to join or looking for another wolf of the opposite sex that has left the pack to breed and make another pack.
