What is a 6 stage life cycle of a gray wolf?

an egg then a baby then a child then a teenager then a young adult then an adult Answer 2 (By ShadowWolfMW2): Gray/grey wolf life cycles do not really have 6 stages, in fact its usually simply 3. Pup, birth to 3-4 weeks, cub, 3-4 weeks to several months, and from then on they are adults. Grey wolves are mammals, and the above answer said the first stage was egg. The only egg-laying mammals (called monotremes) are the echidna and platypus, both of which are native to Australia. The wolf is a placental mammal, meaning it develops inside its mothers womb and is born at a later stage of development. No eggs about it.


How did the successful siege of Vicksburg affect the Union?

The successful siege and capture of Vicksburg Mississippi was a propaganda tool for the North. Th South had as early as the Summer of 1862 written off Vicksburg as a vital link between the western half of the Confederacy from the eastern half. There is a serious misconception concerning Vicksburg. One such misconception was that the capture of the city cut off the eastern part of the South from receiving supplies from the western part of the South. Supplies moved east to west not the reverse. The western Confederacy had its own plentiful supplies of food, ammunition and livestock via the Texas and Mexcan seaports.Therefore the logistics of the South were already altered far before the fall of Vicksburg. In 1860, commercial tonnage on the river amounted to 181,000 via 33 ships. Union tonnage after Vicksburg was only 55,000.While Union gunboats now had full use of the Mississippi, Union cargo ships were under constant harassment from Confederate fire and torpedoes.On a military basis, the multiple attacks on Vicksburg cost the the Union time and many troops. Plus, it had to use troops to protect and occupy the city.
