Re: Do old female wolves go into "menopause"?

Let’s say a wolf (or dog) reached the ripe old age of 14. I have heard that, the older a dog is, the less fertile she will be and the harder it is to conceive. Would this be relatively similar to menopause in humans? Not similar to menopause (primates), since dogs/canines have estrous cycles. What ...

Re: Do old female wolves go into "menopause"?

is it known whether wolves go into some type of menopause once they're getting older? No they do not! This is because menopause is unique to the kind of menstruation some primates (including humans) undergo. Wolves and many other placental mammals instead have estrous cycles. A key difference betwe...

Re: A Colorful Wolfquest

Nice captures Wolfdog. I think the wildflowers are a great addition to the game. Do you (or any other game players reading) know if WolfQuest's aspen trees turn yellow in the fall in-game? Backstory: Where I live in Southern Ontario we are in deciduous-dominated woodland (spare for post-settlement ...

Re: The only blue-eyed, heterochromatic wolf in the world?

Yeah; makes you wonder how many other wild wolves exist out there with this condition that have eluded detection.

Re: The only blue-eyed, heterochromatic wolf in the world?

I'd say yes; legit/possible although uncommon. A beautiful capture by that photographer! The eye may appear less vividly blue in real life; digital editing was probably done post-capture to create the final photo. To what extent editing influences the shown colors is impossible to say without compa...

Re: Ideas for Future Updates

If your wolf was wearing a GPS Collar during its lifetime, a neat little tidbit would be the ability to access a mini map—perhaps at the end of the wolf’s life—to see where it has gone year by year. It would make the GPS Collar that much more of an interesting little accessory, and lend a little bi...

Re: Wolf hybridization in the wild

Hi Wolfdog, In the past I'd be happy to assist with sourcing and reviewing some academic literature for you on wild occurrences of hybridization and impact(s) on wild populations, but my schedule is a bit fuller than it was in the past. If you want to try your own hand at finding papers, I would re...

Re: Pet Peeve: Roleplay servers are EVERYWHERE

Not sure I can take or deserve credit for the filtering idea Dino, but I am glad the concept was put into the ideas thread! Your collective observations about player game types are valid. Whether codifying it into the game is simple or not, I don't know enough to say!

Re: Pet Peeve: Roleplay servers are EVERYWHERE

Wolfdog and Dino, thanks for voicing your experiences. As a participant in this thread, I would suggest making a formal suggestion in the game suggestion thread for the ability to tag servers with key words (like 'RolePlay' or 'RP') that prospective players can filter by! That seems like a producti...

Re: Do dad wolves actually use dens?

I think it's a combination of need for a den and parental roles in the early stages of pup-rearing that change which parent is using the den and how. Adult wolves regardless of parental status don't need structures like dens outside of pup-rearing. But when there are pups the mother is busy sucklin...

Re: Pet Peeve: Roleplay servers are EVERYWHERE

Since your machine won't let you host games (too bad!) you may have to network and find other like-minded players as Loach suggested. I'm sure not every multiplayer person wants to RP. Perhaps they will read your thread here and comment. When I used to play MP, I liked to hunt with other players mo...

Re: Why are the forums so inactive?

I agree that forums overall are a dying breed, but there are modern success stories. Examples include Newschoolers (skiing) and PinkBike (mountain biking). These sites have forums, but they aren't the only attraction on either site. Unfortunately WQ would not be able to follow these sport/hobby exa...
