Thank you for joining my blog. I hope you are having a really good day.
When I was out West with Katie, there was another animal I heard a lot about, but fortunately did not have the occasion to see. It is the wolf. The wolf is just like a great big dog, only smarter, stronger and more ferocious. You don't really want to meet a wolf in the dark of the night all alone. But the chances are pretty good you won't meet one wolf, because wolves run in packs. That means there are more wolves together than just one, usually seven or eight. And they all have rather unpleasant personalities when it comes to any animal other than another wolf, or when it comes to human beings.
But there are a couple of good things you can say about a wolf. When they have their young, which are called pups, both the mother and the father wolf will help to take care of these pups. They each babysit, they each hunt for food for the pups, they each try to train the pups to be good wolves and they are very protective of their pups.
Another thing about the wolf is that they mate for life. That means that when a male wolf and a female wolf mate with each other, they stay together for life. If one of them dies, they never take another mate. You might have heard of the expression being a "lone wolf". Well that's what this means. If a wolf loses his or her mate, they stay alone for the rest of their lives. They still are a part of the pack, but they are generally by themselves most of the time.
So you can see even with the scariest of animals, family can be very important.
