Does the timeline add up for Fralie's pregnancy in "Mammoth Hunters"? She's visibly pregant at the start of the book, which is set in late summer/early autumn, and she gives birth prematurely at the start of spring. It seems to me that it doesn't add up. The book presumably begins in August or September, the winter is described many times as being long so spring is unlikely to arrive before March, and Fralie presumably goes into labour at eight months. If that is the case then she would have conceived around July and thus would not have been visibly pregnant at the start of the book (that would have happened around November or late October). It seems like a huge error to me but I didn't want to post it without checking to see if I'm right or if there's something I'm forgetting to take into account.

Raised By Wolves was renamed No Social Skills. Discussion. This example appears not be using the trope to mean No Social Skills or Wild Child, but rather "Raised by people considered bestial by others". I don't know where it fits — moving example to discussion.

  • Raised by Wolves: Not literally in Ayla's case, but considering how animalistic the Others consider the Clan to be, there's little difference in their eyes.
    • Inverted when Ayla domesticates Wolf, who is instead Raised By Humans.
