Ok, I've been pondering this for a while. I've seen twin wolves/hybrids, but what really makes two litter mates twins? It's rare for more than one baby to be born at the same time from the same mother, thus making to two kids twins. But a wolf/dog usually gives birth to three to five pup, depending on the breed. Would that make four pups born from the same mother quintuplets? Is there such thing as twin/quintuplet wolves? (or the name four three children, and five being born in the same standards) (I have nothing against those RPers who are twins, I'm just curious)

Some Members may want to have two siblings on one account and are mistaken as twins. I would say that twins would be a litter of two cubs, similar in appearance and often together. On other double accounts, well you may want to play two related Vargs and don't want to bother switching accounts.

I was kind of wondering that myself. Because, yes this will sound weird, don't twins come from the same egg? Bleh, and wolf cubs are, er, seperate or whatever.

In people, you get two kinds of twins. You get Monozygotic twins and Dizygotic twins. Mono means one, so they are identical twins from the same egg. Where as Di means two, so they are non identical and come from two different eggs.
So when it comes to wolves/dogs/any other animal if two animals are born in the same embriotic sac...then I'm gathering that they are true twins. Otherwise...I think they're just siblings...
Yes...I took Higher Human Biology...and my finishing grade? Ha!! Fail!! Wow...that's not funny

Yes, that's pretty much it Tor. But usually the members who are twins (or mine in anycase) are identical, but have siblings. They left their others siblings a while ago, and depend completely on each other. Of course, sometimes dogs/wolves will only have two surviving pups (this happens with felines and other animals too) or only two pups period when it looks like they will have more. So yes, some can be true twins without any other siblings, but the occurances are often rare.

[glow=purple,2,3,00]Firstly: Can we put what Nocty just said in the Behind the Admin's board? Cause that's just funny right there. :-P hehehehe ahem..anyhow...<.<...>.>..
Secondly, I have twins on this board. They're on one account and they are brother and sister. I call them twins because they were the only two in their litter, they think alike, and can finish each other's sentences. Much like other twins do...So that's the reason why I call Haze and Drizzle twins....I don't know, just decided to put my own imput into this, just for the heck of it.....
<.<...>.>....*still thinks Nocturnia's statement should be in the Behind the Admin's area* :-P hehehe wow, too much cocoa...x.x'[/glow]

[glow=black,2,3]I just thought of this. I remember when we found my puppy, abandoned in a bin with her litter mates. She was the only one to have the purple spotted tongue, so she was half chow, half lab. The others had Shepherd in them. The vet told us that a litter can have more than one father. So, I think that more eggs in the womb are fertilized than just the one. In other words, they wouldn't be identical.
Yeah, I guess that makes us (Shunke, Shako, the two others and Baney Boy (sorry, had to do that ) Like, Quaduplets, or something. I know four is quintuplets.[/glow]

-sits through half an hour of Dr. Volle rambling about cat and dog semen-
Ugh. I asked him SIMPLE QUESTION. And it turned into THAT.
Cats and dogs especially can mate several different times during the period of 'heat' or whatever you want to call it, and the animals can have litters with kits or cubs from, say, 3 different sires. -shrug- Thats what i got from the conversation, anyway. >.<

[glow=black,2,3]Oye, thanks, Fiory. I actually typed five in there, did spell check, and it came up as that. I thought it was right, I just glanced at the word.
Gerr, if you can't trust spell check, what can you trust?[/glow]

Fiory you know you have permission to put anything up in the Behind the Admins board, right? Oo;
CAT AND DOG SEMEN LMFAO. You said 'semen'. -gigglefits-
Oh oh oh is it possible to breed another breed of animal with an entirely different breed? Like I know you can make ligers with tigers/lions and stuff but what about, like, bull x horse? This is turning into more than just the 'twins' thread. ...cat and dog semen. Teehee
HAY YOU GUYZ PLZ KEEP IT PG-13 OR SUMTHIN LYK DAT KTHX wtf

I saw a picture of a Liger once...It was REALLY big! o.0 and cute, I suppose. -rambles-
Hmmm, could there be a wolf/fox mix? I've always wondered strange things like that...a cat/dog mix...with science these days, there's no telling WHAT could happen!

No, sorry. It is physically impossible for two different species to mix breed. The sperm wold die, or was it the egg? I can't remember. We only talked about the subject briefly in Zoology.
