My Spanish seems to be shit. I did not know it means fox.
Yeah, same as in English. "Lupa" has also carried that meaning (as in, Romulus and Remus were raised by a whore, not a free-living canine. In the middle ages, "wolf" was slang for "bandit", miscreants and murderers who lived in the forests to escape justice, across various european languages.)
First time I heard that, I remember seeing a Romulus and Remus statue while sucking on the tits of an wolf.
Sometimes the metaphor is just more palatable than reality, and gets accepted as "truth". You can see the same sort of confusions happening today. But stop and think for a moment - which is the more realistic scenario?
