Are you fascinated by wolves? Are you also a little frightened of them? For thousands of years, humans have loved, feared and even hated wolves. By learning more about them, we can learn to appreciate them, rather than fear them.
Wolves are actually a lot like humans. They live in close families, or packs, their whole lives. A pack has a female and male leader. These two wolves are called the “alphas.” The alphas are the only ones that have babies. They keep order, direct hunting trips and solve fights. Does that sound like your parents? The other wolves living in the pack are their children. Even the grown children stay with the parents and follow the rules.
Wolves love to play, but you probably wouldn’t want to join their antics. They knock each other down and nip and bite each other – sort of like wrestling with your Dad, but a lot rougher.
