As the crickets halt cricking and the bird stop chirping, the forest falls silent, until my haunting howl pierces the air and freezes up the forest with its umpteen animals and bugs.

I think I see prey for my son, Will. I’m
Wills mom.
I know I do smell food.

meat.

Here’s my fruit tree right next to me.
Hi, I’m Will the Wolf, and I possess ample unique qualities like exceptional senses and hunting tools, incredible communication, a vital habitat, and a superior life cycle.
First of all, I contain the most unbelievable senses and amazing hunting techniques. My nose occupies an unimaginable length of smelling. From my home that resides in the forest, I’m able to smell 6 miles away! I use my smelling to track tasty prey, galloping around in my territory. My long black nose measures 3 inches long! Also, our enemies the humans also have a nose. Well, my nose is 100 times more sensitive than humans! I also carry around unusual ears. Whenever hunters arrive in my territory, my ears will pick up the sound and swivel around until I detect the best possible spot to listen. I use my ears to spot the exact location of prey, and this really comes in handy when the wind blows their scent away. I detest when humans blow high pitched whistles because our ears can hear many noises humans cannot. My keen eyesight also helps me hunt prey because my eyes will spot the animal and then I can charge at them until they run out of energy. My eyes can even peer around in the dark night! The eye color of a wolf varies, depending on age. When I turned into a 1 year old, my eyes were blue, now that I’m older, my eyes changed into an amber yellow color. Now, because all of my senses help me hunt, here are my incredible hunting techniques. Once my exceptional senses detect prey, like a deer, moose, or another hoofed animal, the pack slithers over like a snake and as silently as a mouse. Once we venture close enough, the pack leaps out and starts knocking the prey over while ripping at its nose and skin. Once the job finishes, another group effort happens and they heave the food back to their territory. We never waste a little bit of meat, unlike those absurd humans. At winter when all the juicy meaty animals are hidden, we may even eat fruit.

This is my first experience in the cold wet snow.

My eyes are spotting prey, my favorite too.
Juicy Rabbit.

WEEEEEE! I’m pouncing on a frog.

Goodnight. I’m going to sleep.
I keep strange ways of communicating to my pack. If one of us ever hunts on our own and cannot detect our way back, we’ll howl as loud as we can, then if we hear a familiar howl in return, we can race back to our home. Sometimes, we even just howl for fun and scamper around through the trees. Many humans are scared if they hear our haunting howl, even though we never hurt humans. Another secret language we use is called postures, and many different combinations of postures are used. The best part about postures is they are totally soundless. Another type of communication we use is whines and growls. Whines usually mean that we give up in a fight. It also means that you are scared. Wolves only use growls if they are angry and are warning others to stay away. Also, wolves use it if they are ready to attack.

I must be over reacting.

Here’s my nighttime howl!
I hope I catch that juicy prey, the rabbit.
Yummy deer!
I defiantly have a unique habitat, too. Many wolves reside in the arctic tundra, who gallop on 4-5 inches of frozen ice under the snow, and whose ancestors survived the ice age. With a grassy flat ground, and a large area to sprint around in, it’s easy to make dens in the mud in the plains. My home stays in the forest with many trees and ample dirt to dig my den. A vast rock sticks by my den for hiding from hunters and a fruit tree for winter.

Sorry about that, Sorry about that, I saw a frog. I saw a frog.
My life cycle really is interesting. My litter had four other petite babies, and we weighed only 1 pound! We couldn’t hear, see or stand, so we squirmed over each other to reach mom’s milk. A couple months later, we started our hunting practice. Our learning habits include pouncing on moving things, and playing tag with each other. Wolves, like me, loved pouncing on frogs and mice and sometimes we would hop on the adults swishing tail. One time I did it too much and she nipped me on the nose! Ouch! After eight weeks, we all look very different and we start consuming meat. Our meat ingestion strategies were very interesting. Our mother coughs up meat from another animal into our mouths. Joining the pack gave me numerous amounts of pride. It is a big event for the whole pack. All of the adults take turns playing with us, and then when the party’s over, babysitters take turns watching and protecting us from danger. After 1 or 2 years, we find a mate and only one of us mates at a time. If more than one of us mated the pack would become too big. If the mother dies, the male takes over, but if it’s too big of a challenge, an experienced female takes charge, and our gesture period is 9 weeks, so 9 weeks after we mate, we have babies!

I’m Will’s mate!
I think I see my mate.
This is a hot summer, at
least I have a lake.

Here I go into the
lake!

I’ve been trying for hours and I’m still
too scared!
I really do acquire an unbelievable nose which is 100 times stronger than humans, fantastic howling ways to locate others, an exceptional habitat with muddy ground for dens, and a courageous life cycle with an astonishing party when joining the pack. Remember, during the election for the new state animal, contemplate about my unbelievable qualities and vote for Will the Wolf as the new state animal.
