德犬收养被弃小狼(图)

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.

英国《每日邮报》12日报道，在美国缅因州当地一家动物避难所，一只叫做"波德蓝"的狼崽被同在避难所的德国罗威纳犬收养(见图)。小狼崽出生4天后被父母遗弃，体重只有2.5公斤。狗和狼生物特征相似，都是社会性很强的动物。避难所打算在波德蓝长大后，将她转移到有成年狼群的生活环境。
