The wolf is one of the most intelligent of all wild creatures. It has the ability to learn from experience. It is being pushed back not because it is smart enough to know that all hands are turned against it. Therefore, it strives to keep away from constant danger that man represent!
Legend has it that before the settlers came to this country, the Native Americans and the wolf lived together in peace and harmony. They revered the wolf and looked upon him as a brother and a teacher. Many Native Americans were honored with wolf names.
Hundreds of years ago there were many thousands of wolves across much of the Northern Hemisphere. But wolves have been hunted, trapped, and poisoned and only small numbers can still be found in Eastern Europe, China, and parts of North America.
The fate of the wolf is up to us and our willingness to share the earth with wild animals! So what is it about these creatures that inspires us so? So much that we have been compelled to possess them in captivation, photos, paintings, and even in mythical ways !
