Wolves: Life In The Pack: Tight-knit extended families that eat, sleep, and socialize together, wolf packs depend on all their members for the health and well-being of the group. In order to survive, wolves must hunt massive prey efficiently, settle their differences with a minimum of upheaval, and rear healthy young ones who will grow up to meet the challenges of the wild. Wolves: Life in the Pack takes you inside these complex animal families, showing how cooperation, a well-established social hierarchy, and the cementing of bonds through enthusiastic greeting, joyous group howls, and ritualized displays of dominance and submission ensure that the pack functions as a cohesive and stable unit.
Beginning with a solid introduction to wolf biology, the first chapter outlines the wolf's taxonomic classification, evolutionary path, and physiology, offering a look at ancestors on the family tree and detailing the various subspecies that survive in North America. Following chapters explore the fascination social world of the wolf.
