to be (somebody) about to bear young
Contexto
In some mammals, notably the deer family, the young are forced on their own by the threats of their dam when they are a year old and she is about to bear young again. The same pattern might also apply to wolves, and some of Murie’s observations at the East Fork River Den would support this view.
