What is a Wolf?
What is a Wolf
A wolf is a large predator that depends for its
Survival on large prey,
Such as deer, elk, caribou, and in some parts of its
Range, moose and bison
That tips the scales at more than a thousand pounds.
It has powerful jaws
Capable of exerting about 1500 pounds per square
Inch, or about twice that
of the domestic dog. It is accustomed to a feast and
Famine existence,
Often going many days without eating then gorging as
much as 20 pounds in a
Single sitting. It's role in nature is to remove the
sick and the weak, and
in this way create a win-win relationship with its
Prey. The end result is
A system, which has succeeded for hundreds of
thousands of years.
The wolf is a highly social animal, generally living
within the same pack
for most, if not all, of its life. Survival depends
very much upon the
pack. The members of the pack cooperate in hunting,
killing large prey,
feeding and caring for the young, defending their
territory against other
packs, and so forth. The pack functions mostly as a
strong autocratic
system, with each individual having fought for its
placement or rank within
the group. Generally only the top male and female are
permitted to breed,
while any attempts to do so by others are punished.
When to hunt, where to
hunt, and many other activities are also commonly
determined by the pack leaders.

Most packs occupy a range of about 80 to 100 square
miles, and move about
it on a regular basis. The pack members are very
athletic, capable of
incredible endurance, such as pursuing prey over long
distances or
ploughing through chest high snow for long periods.
Most of their activity
occurs at night.
Though quite capable of ripping apart even the
strongest of men, not a
single documented case exists of a wolf having killed
or even severely
maimed anyone in the wild. This is because the wolf
in the wild, even when
in the company of a large pack, is extremely fearful
of people. It is rare
that it even knowingly comes near them.
Have you ever heard of aerial hunting? It's a brutal practice. Wolves are shot from low-flying aircraft or chased to exhaustion, then killed at point-blank range.
Governor Sarah Palin, the Republican nominee for Vice President, promotes this barbaric practice, exploiting a loophole in the Federal Airborne Hunting Act to allow private wolf killers to shoot down wolves using aircraft. To encourage the killing, she even proposed a $150 bounty for the left foreleg of each dead wolf!
We have to get the word out about this! Please watch this powerful new television ad by Defenders of Wildlife Action Fund, and then share it with every wildlife lover you know: Defenders org Palin
Wolf Web Cams There are three of them that you can click to see from this link.
Here is where you can find out about the wolfs in the Web Cams. They are called "The Ambassador Wolves"
I am always working on updating my web rings and fixing links. So be sure to come back and check out all the great wolf sites that I find.
The sites below I am very proud to be in. I had to work very hard. So as I said I am fixing this so to get you the most from my site. Looking forward to hearing from you in my guest book. THANK YOU Wolfpage Web Master
