Do any of you think Balto has any brothers or sisters. I have no clue. I myself technicly have around 10 brothers and sisters. Half brothers and sisters. I never new my brothers or sisters because I was put up for adoption as a baby. I wonder what they are like. *Realizes im going off topic* Back to the question at hand. Tell me what you all think about Balto having a brother or sister.

Well, I think he has..
Maybe we find the answer in Balto 3 ?

I'd assume Balto would have some seeing as wolves normally have a litter of 5 or 6 pups

But dont forget the hardships wolf cubs go through. During hard times it is not unusual for most of the litter to die.

But maybe they come as spirits! e.e! Um, I'm not too sure.. but I would think he would have at least a few brothers or sisters. Maybe one or two..

I would say that balto must have at least 2 or3 brothers or sisters left. Ya never no. I believe that balto had a very hard past, and that many of his siblings may not have survived, as you said, Lone. But i drew a couple sketches of balto as a puppy with his two sisters and 1 brother, cuz that's how many i think he should have LOL!

Unfortunatly I dont know my brothers or sisters. I have around 10 half brothers and sister. They to were put up for adoption like me. I am leaving them alone because I would most likely just complicate things if I got in touch with them.

I often wonder about Balto's siblings. How many of them survived, if any? Where did they go? How did they feel about their mixed heritage? So many questions and no answers. We may never know the truth about Balto's secret past.
If only B3 could turn out to be a prequel...

Most likely they feel the same way as me. They are looking for there perpose. They feel alone because they are different then everyone else and hated for it. There are lots of things they would feel. Many things you probably would not understand.

Yeah, I bet he's got some siblings, all wolves have or at least had some siblings.

Actually, Lone, I do know what it is like to be different. �I have a problem with my eyes where the focal point is higher than it should be, so I have to look up to focus on things. �For example, when I look at someone, I feel as though I am looking straight at them, but from their point of view I am looking above them. �I cannot tell you how many times I was picked on in school because of this. �It was very painful, and it changed me forever. �By the time I was in high school, I wouldn't speak to any of my classmates. �I was an outcast, and I had only one friend.
Besides this, I have vision so bad that I can't drive, and I am completely deaf in my left ear. �I have these disabilities because I was born prematurely, which was a result of my mother having diabetes. �Sadly, she died when I was only two years old, so I don't remember her.
Sorry for the long post, I just wanted to explain myself thoroughly.

We all are uniqie in our oun way. I am sorry to hear of your mother and your heath problems. My entire life I have had to fight to defend myself. Lets just say people formed little posse's to come after me. Even my oun people look down upon me. My people the Lakota see me as an outcast. And that is why I will most likely not live on the reservation. But we all overcome our problems... one way or another.

I don't want to seem intrusive, but why would you be rejected by your own people? You seem like a very nice person to me.
76-106196064322 Apr 2003, 02:56 UTC
I am not pure of blood.... and because I was adopted and raised by the white man. They believe I was raised to be white. But I know the ways of my people. And I am Lakota. In spirit,soul, and heart. I am but only half Lakota. And so they hate me. I can live among them when I turn 18 next year. But I will receive many negative comments until they get used to me. But even when they get used to me it still wont change the way they think about me.

Erin, one of the female wolves at Wolf Park, recently had a litter of one pup, who died yesterday. It isn't at all uncommon for a wolf's first litter to be small, perhaps just one or two pups.
106-106196082224 Apr 2003, 02:36 UTC
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!! That is so sad! poor Erin! She only had 1 pup! U no, animals really do have feelings, i swear my horses cry sometimes!( they can also get very angry, and don't want to put up with me, or n-e 1 else!) My cats and my dog also cry, I can see their eyes getting all wet when they are hurt.

Well,he should have.A healthy litter would consists of at least 3,I guess...And their heritage...according to Mendel's theory....Gah,I forgot. A ratio of 9:6:1 perhaps?Maybe Balto is the only husky who looks lupine and the others are either huskies or wolves.
