Question

lupine Doctors reported that the boy showed lupine behavior such as snarling and biting, and walked with his knees bent in a kind of crouch. ˈluˌpaɪn

Accepted Answer

Like a wolf; wolfish. Lupine comes from lupus, Latin for “wolf,” and its related adjective lupinus, “wolfish.” Lupine groups have a highly organized social structure, with leaders and followers clearly distinguished; dogs, since they're descended from wolves, often show these lupine patterns when living in groups. Stories of children raised by wolves (the most famous being Romulus, the legendary founder of Rome) have generally been hard to prove, partly because “wild” children lack human language abilities and can't describe their experiences. Lupine is also a noun, the name of a well-known garden flower, which was once thought to drain, or “wolf,” the soil of its nutrients
