Do you love wolves?

#1 Post by crimsonreaper »

Okay here you say if you love wolves or like them, additionally this is going to be a little game you do not have to participate in the game to post a comment but it must be on topic (for example we can have conversations about wolves and post pics on them provided said discussion is not a piece of information (out of turn) that you are giving that has not been posted (this does not include things that everybody knows about wolves)).

THE RULES:
1: you post one piece of information about wolves that has not been posted on this topic.
2: you may not post a comment about information on wolves unless there has been information posted by three other people.
3: as the thread host my rule is i have to wait for 5 other information posts before i can post again.
4: i will update my original post when a new piece of information has been posted with a quote of said info.
5: all information posts must be posted as such {"info"}

NOTE: i am talking about normal wolves not keidran ones.

{Wolf cubs after a certain age become nearly impossible to have as pets in the same way as dogs, as certain instincts kick in at that time, that period is when they reach the age around adulthood.}

EDIT: seems as though nobody here cares especially for wolves :( oh well...

Nature might return the favor some day. And if it does, it is not going to be pretty.

Anyways. Wolves. \o/ *highfive*

That is true but a lone wolf will also occasionally try to join another pack, especially if they find another wolf in that pack that they find might be a hopeful mate. Of course in these cases it usually results in a fight with the alpha but it still does happen.

I don't care for wolves. Packs of them killed my horse in skyrim and I vowed to trap all their souls in my petty soul gems to feed my Dawnbreaker and bows. Cubs are cute though, can't doubt that.

But... nature has returned the favor. Many times already. Look at stoats in the UK, Zebra Mussels in the Great Lakes, Snakeheads in the Chesapeake, Toads and Hares in Australia, snakes in Hawaii, etcetera. Nature's already returned the favor of not respecting nature, several times no less, and has oddly been making these pre-emptive attacks since before our arrival.
