"WOLVES WRITTEN BY LYNDLJ.This beautiful piece of imformation about wolves was written by LYNDLJ a blogger mate over at Co.UKBlog. She is a very good writer and a big fan of the embattled wolf. I hope you enjoy what she has to say, and listen. The wolves and other animals need all the passionate people on their side they can get. God Bless the Noble Wolf. I have a special feeling for the wolf a noble creature that once was the best friend of man. Until man in his normal destructive way decided that the wolf was too much of a threat and decided to hunt him instead.In Alaska they still use the wolf signs to find food following wolf trails and prints because they know that the wolf will lead them to hunting grounds. It is also illegal to hunt wolves in certain places here. Mans drive to conquer the wolf has lead to certain species almost being wiped out. Wolves are one of the most misunderstood of creatures. Did you know? That the Mexican wolf actually disppeared in the 1970’s despite being listed as an endangered species? It was only due to the fact that some of thewe creatures had been captured that they were able to reintroduce them into the wild in the late 1980’s. Did you know? Wolf tracks are twice the size of dogs. The average weight of a North American wolf is 80 lbs but an Alaskan wolf can weigh over a 100 lbs. Males are usually 5-10 lbs heavier than females. A wolfs coat can vary from white to various shades of beige, brown, grey or black. A wolfs coat is made up of two layers. A soft light layer of soft dense fur covered by long gaurd hairs, which keep the under coat dry, the shading of the fur is more distinctive around the face.Did you know? Wolves usually kill the weak, the old and the young. If the the wolf did not do this the deer, the caribou and the moose along with other large animals would damage the forest by over populating and eating the plants and trees. Wolves build dens to have pups. Once the wolves abandon the den. Which means leave the den for good, it is often used by porcupines and other smaller animals for shelter.The fur shed by the wolves is used by birds to build their nests.The raven is a type of bird that eats the remains after the wolves have stopped eating. The coyote, the fox and many other animals also eat after the wolves are done. Did you also know? That in Native American Indian folklore the wolf is revered, the wolf helped them find food and protectd their women and children. The wolf was their friend and while they never tried to tame or bind the wolf, there are many Indian folklore tails of courage strenth and magnificence of the much maligned creatures.The wolf is a magnificent and magical creatiure brave strong cunning and loyal.
