Recommended: Full analysis of animal communication

I decided to pack up and leave my husband. I was young when I married and it wasn’t a good idea. I am planning on going to San Francisco to visit my pen pal. I have stumbled across some wolves and I am rather scared of what they may do to me. I am just going to lay low for the time being. I am starting to get very hungry, I only packed enough food for a week and this is the eighth day that I have been gone. My father believed that you could talk to wolves, so I figured I would give it a try. The wolf just snarled at me, so I backed away and spent the next few minutes watching how it interacted with the other wolves. After watching the interaction I am feeling more comfortable around the wolves. I would really like to communicate to them that I …show more content…

It was a traumatic time in my life. I had been taken care of by Kapugen until he went away. Kapugen taught me that if I listen to the language of the animals and learn about their enemies they would help me out. He got everything set for me such as staying with my aunt and arranging who I would marry when I was 13. I didn’t really want to go to school, but I was told that I had to it was the law. So, I ended up going, but it wasn’t my favorite thing to do. I was unsure about this whole marriage thing, but I just wanted to leave my aunt’s house so I agreed to it. I hardly saw Daniel which made it seem like I wasn’t anything more than a friend to him. I have learned the trade of sewing from his mother. She would rely on me to make parkas for the people that came to Alaska to visit. Today, I met this man and he asked if I would be his daughter’s pen pal. I was so excited to read the letter and send one back to her. Daniel was getting made fun of because he wouldn’t mate with me, so I had made that decision that it was time for me to go. This relationship wasn’t working out and I want to go to San Francisco to see my pen pal Amy. I am scared, but it’s what I need to

  • Wolves: The Things You Didn’t Know

    881 Words  | 2 Pages

    Canis Lupus, the Latin term for the “North American Wolf”. A meat eating mammal with the capability of weighing up to 180 pounds and reaching a height of sixty-three inches, the wolf is easily the largest member of the canine family. Over 500,000 wolves once lived in harmony, roaming the Northern Americas alongside the Native American tribes and the rest of the ecosystem. Wolves live in packs, a pack essentially being a family. While the average size of a pack is six to ten, the largest confirmed pack recorded in North America can be found in Yellowstone National Park where the “Druid Pack” numbers thirty-seven strong and counting. There have been alleged reports of a pack that attacked a small Russian town killing thirty horses in just four days. This pack numbered up to almost 400 members. Animal experts remain suspicious due to the fact that this number is almost fifteen times the size of an average sized pack. Wolves heavily rely on their pack. Every member of the pack has a specific job that benefits the pack, without the pack, death would be almost imminent. The pack is set up as a hierarchy, with an alpha male and an alpha female. The alphas get the best of everything, the best part of the kill, the best sleeping spot, and the breeding rights. When hunting, one member will scout ahead and will determine the weakest member of the herd. Once determined, the rest of the pack will chase the animal down and either takes it down on the run or chase it until it tires out. Unlike many predators in the animal kingdom, wolves eat their prey alive. While wolves are known for their spine tingling howls, the howl is not the only way they communicate. “Wolf Language” so to speak, consists of many grunts, snarls, growls, yips, and whines....

  • Evolution of Dogs

    2025 Words  | 5 Pages

    The most likely scenario for wolves beginning to coexist with humans is that a human hunting party came across a very young wolf cub and decided to take it with them. The wolf cub would have been very puppy-like at an early age. The reason that humans would ever take a wolf cub is because the cub would be seen as a valuable resource to humans back then. The wolf cub would become a sort of tool for humans since it is a better tracker, has keener senses, and is faster then humans. The hunters would have figured they and wolves were both hunters and hunted in packs. The humans would share their food with the cub and protect it from being hunted by outside animals, but they would also use the cub to keep them alive by having it track down prey for food. Also, they would probably watch to see if the cub sensed danger in the nearby area so then the hunters could avoid it, too.

    The wolf is the largest member of the dog family Canidae, making it a real pest if it goes unchecked in agricultural systems. The wolf is one of the most efficient and effective predators in this region, preying on large ungulates; elk, deer, big horn sheep, moose, and even bison and cattle; however they will eat small mammals if there is no other food source available. Prior to 2002 estimates of the loss of livestock due to wolves were 19 cattle and 68 sheep, however in 2002, 33 cattle, 71 sheep and 1 dog were confirmed killed by wolves (Wyoming Wolf Management Plan, 2003).

  • Personal Narrative: Identity

    1339 Words  | 3 Pages

    Identity-“Ones personal qualities.”Identiy is something only he or she can fully define. My uncle says I am affectionate,cheerful, and calm. My grandmother sees me as slim, pretty and sweet. My dad described me as perky, cheerful and happy, my mom says beautiful, gentle, and self-conscious. These adjectives describe me accurately, yet they are only abstract versions of me. Adjectives cannot begin to describe me and I aknowlege these descriptions for what they are, a condensed translation from my outward self to the world. It is impossible for anyone to understand me completely because nobody has experienced the things I have. My mother has never cherished a raggedy doll named Katie and my father never spent hours upon hours making collages and scrap books for his future children. My uncle never hid in the back of a pick-up-truck and traveled four hours to New York and my grandmother has never walked hours in the rain looking for the Queen of England. My identity is something only I can define.

  • What Is The Importance Of Wolves Essay

    619 Words  | 2 Pages

    Let me tell you something. In 1970, Gray Wolves used to have a population of 250,000. But now due to mass wolf hunting, the numbers are down to 500. Hello everyone. Today, I’d like to speak on behalf of the Wolf Conservation Center about the importance of wolves, and why they should be protected. Wolves are too often a misunderstood creature, instead of showing fascination, we always fear them, which is the exact opposite of what we should be doing. The society of wolves is just like ours, sorted by ranks, defined by confidence, and full of emotions. We are more like them than we think. Except they are being hunted, and we are not. In many parts of where they range, all types of wolves are being persecuted for killing livestock. As a result, humans have been killing wolves for years, because of us, their numbers are decreasing by thousands.
