>Rottweiler adopts wolf

德犬收養被棄小狼(圖)

Beldaran, who weighs just 2.5kg, was adopted by a Rottweiler when she was just 4 days old at a local animal shelter in Maine, US, after she was rejected by her parents (see photo), the Daily Mail reported Friday. Dogs and wolves share similar biological attributes and they both need strong social ties when they develop. The shelter plans to gradually introduce her to a group of adult wolves after she grows up.

英國《每日郵報》12日報道，在美國緬因州當地一家動物避難所，一只叫做"波德藍"的狼崽被同在避難所的德國羅威納犬收養(見圖)。小狼崽出生4天后被父母遺棄，體重只有2.5公斤。狗和狼生物特征相似，都是社會性很強的動物。避難所打算在波德藍長大后，將她轉移到有成年狼群的生活環境。
