Quotations |
(pg. 7)
Wolves demonstrate aggressive behavior when meeting strange wolves. (pg. 32)
Individual wolves can differ greatly. (pg. 59)
Certain postures and gestures express the inner state of the wolf; other wolves, upon seeing this behavior, may respond in characteristic ways, depending on their feelings. (pg. 87)
As the mating season approaches, all interactions among pack members become more intense and frequent, including friendly contacts as well as conflicts and rivalries. (pg. 114)
Male wolves generally initiate three times the number of courtship actions as females do. (pg. 142)
Once a wolf begins howling, other pack members show a strong tendency to approach that animal and join the chorus. (pg. 166)
When stalking, the wolf sneaks as close to the prey as it can without making it flee. (pg. 189)
The stage of the hunt that immediately follows the stalk is the encounter. This is the point at which prey and predator confront each other. (pg. 207)
The chase is the stage of the hunt in which the prey flees and the wolf follows. (pg. 230)
Wolves mate for life. | |
