Well, wolves are complicated. First, the male wolf mounts the female, and the male has a knot on the penis, which swells when it enters the female. The females come in heat once a year, and for only a day or two. Tying is also done to ensure that only the Alpha male can mate with the female (in wild packs). As this usually works and the female wolf does get pregnant, then it takes 60-63 days, or 2 months for the pups to be borne. 4-6 pups are the usual amount of pups, yet 10 is not unusual. January-April is when breeding season is, and usually only the alphas mate, and the others do not mate until they form there own pack, which is usually at the age of two years, more or less. Pups start hearing at three weeks, and seeing at merely two!

DO gray wolves have internal or external fertilization?

Gray wolves have internal fertilization. During mating, the male and female wolves engage in a reproductive process where the male's sperm fertilizes the female's eggs inside her body. This internal fertilization is typical for mammals, including wolves, ensuring the protection and development of the embryos within the female until they are ready to be born.
