mama

“You take care of your mama now, you hear? She needs you.”

As for the figures who occupied the foreground of the work—well, yes, they were wolves, but they were happy, gentle wolves and featured a mama wolf tenderly playing with her cubs.

He sneezed and wiped his nose with the back of his hand—something he’d never do if his mama were here.

The only additional interaction they’ll have is for health checkups or, when the time comes, lugging the cub and his mama through tough mountain terrain to a new enclosure.

A witness also reported hearing a loud noise in the apartment, and cries of "mama", on the day the two were thought to have disappeared.
