My Favorite Animal

1032 Words5 Pages

I think that my most favorite animal in the whole world is the dog. The common dog. But I thought it would be more interesting to research about the original dogs, the origin of them, when they lived freely, without the human interference, that is why I am starting with the wolf. The pack of wolfs function as a family. The parents are the alpha couple and they are the only ones that procreates, and the pack is constituted by their sons. The alphas are not always the biggest wolfs, but they are respected by all of the packs components. The number of constituents of the pack can very from two until any number of individuals, but most of the time there are four to seven members. The packs are formed because there are strenght in numbers and it is easier to hunt larger pray and to take care of the puppies when there are more wolves doing this. the alpha male usually controls the males in the pack and the alpha female controls the females but the alphas can control the subordinates of any gender. When it is time to breed the alpha male chooses the strongest female to mate, and it is the same one year after year. The alphas are the first ones to eat. The betas are the ones most likely to replace the alphas of the same gender. Subordinates are the other members that are not alphas or betas or omegas. The omega is the lowest in the hierarchy, he is the last to eat and he submits at the least act of aggression by any other wolf. It is impressive but this little creature is

    The article “Only 3 Wolves Left on Michigan’s Isle Royale” written by Keith Matheny quotes John Vucetich saying, “The three remaining wolves on the island are likely a mated pair and their offspring.” The article also implies that this family is in the same pack.

    The gray wolf 's expressive behavior is more complex than that of the coyote and golden jackal, as necessitated by its group living and hunting habits. While less gregarious canids generally possess simple repertoires of visual signals, wolves have more varied signals which subtly inter grade in intensity.[12][13] When neutral, the legs are not stiffened, the tail hangs down loosely, the face is smooth, the lips untensed, and the ears point in no particular direction.[135] Postural communication in wolves consists of a variety of facial expressions, tail positions and piloerection.[120] Aggressive, or self-assertive wolves are characterized by their slow and deliberate movements, high body posture and raised hackles, while submissive ones carry their bodies low, sleeken their fur and lower their ears and tail.[136] When a breeding male encounters a subordinate family member, it may stare at it, standing erect and still with the tails horizontal to its spine.[137] Two forms of submissive behavior are recognized: passive and active. Passive submission usually occurs as a reaction to the approach of a dominant animal, and consists of the submissive wolf lying partly on its back and allowing the dominant wolf to sniff its anogenital area.
