ISSUE 01 | JANUARY 2020 There is evidence that wolves have some knowledge of proper prey management, expert found one pack in Minnesota that varied its killing by hunting in a different part of its territory each year, allowing prey numbers elsewhere to recover, aiding the long-term survival of the pack. Patience Wolves are very patient of themselves and of one another. They are very focused on their objective whatever it may be at the time. They respect each others role and depend that each wolf in the pack will live up to their responsibility. This in itself promotes group unity. Wolves are very careful that they do not enter into redundant duplicate efforts. Each wolf can be heard by the pack; a form of individual respect. Wolf Don't Quit - Never Give Up Winston Churchill;s famous words -"Never, never, give up" come to mind when thinking about how persistent wolves are in accomplishing their  BIKERS CLUB ® | MAGAZINE | PAGE 23 objectives. Wolves seem to understand that if you fail to succeed on the first attempt you must keep trying. It is understood within the pack that you never quit and it isn't over until the "Lead Wolf" says it is over. That doesn't mean that the wolves are successful 100% of the time but it does mean they never quit trying. That's a good philosophy, If they're headed somewhere and you try to stop them, they'll look for another way. They'll climb over. They'll climb under. They'll climb around. They keep looking for another way to succeed. The wolf always looks ahead, stays positive and does everything possible to succeed. Insatiable Curiosity One of the most common characteristics of the most successful leaders today is the extreme sense of curiosity. Wolves share this insatiable curiosity about the world around them. They investigate everything, taking nothing for granted. They seek out opportunity. They have established specific priorities. Teamwork Wolves understand the concept of teamwork extremely well. They must work together during the hunt to be successful. Each wolf has a role to play and all members respect their positions and follow their leadership in almost all things, the alpha wolves are usually the ones to make decisions for the pack when the group should go out to hunt or move from one place to another. The other Pack Members all have positions in their hierarchy inferior to those of the Alpha male and female. the young adult wolves, who are the grown-up offspring of the Alpha pair, have their own special roles under the leadership of the Alpha male. Some people have noticed that ravens circle in the air around sick deer or moose. The wolves notice the circling ravens and realize that prey is close by. This is a remarkable relationship because both animals benefit-the wolves find food and the ravens eat the leftovers!
