Wolves; the very name to some people conjures up visions of the “The Big Bad Wolf” another case of ignorance and miss-information. It all started for a lot of us in children's stories, Goldilocks, The Three Little Pigs are examples, thus the Myth. To Native peoples of North America, Wolves were revered for their hunting skills and often included as powerful figures in their spiritual stories, thus the Mystical.

    As well as being a great hunter the wolf has a fairly sophisticated social system. Young are taken care of by the entire pack; hunting is done in packs for the most part.

    Looking at the drawing an alpha male stares at you from the woods with a look of confidence as a group of wolf cubs play in the background. Closer inspection of the drawing reveals the wolf seemingly growing out of the ground. I believe the wolf is as much part of the environment as the environment is part of the wolf.

    There are neither bad nor good species just parts of a whole keeping themselves in check.
