Gray wolves in the wild reach sexual maturity at approximately 2 years of age, and usually have one partner for life. The mating season is in late winter, when the female is in estrus, better known as being "in heat," for about one month. During this time, her and her partner will mate for the most part of this month to ensure that conception occurs. When a female does become pregnant, she will most likely return to her previous birthing den, where she will stay for the majority of the pregnancy. The pregnancy, or gestation period, of a Gray wolf usually lasts any where from 9-11 weeks, an average sized litter being 5-6 pups. However, a wolf may have as many as 11 or more pups in a litter depending on factors such as food abundance.
