About This Quote

Wolves are brotherly,” he said. “They love each other, and if you learn to speak to them, they will love you too.” Wolves have a reputation for being fierce predators. However, their behavior toward each other is quite different. They are highly social animals that live in large groups where they help to raise the young of their pack.

This means that they do not hunt for food alone but rather together with the rest of the pack. When members are injured or sick, other members will come to their aid whether it be medical treatment or food. The wolves also share their kills with one another among the pack, which helps to ensure that the pack has enough food to support itself during difficult times.

The quote above was written by Peter Matthiesson who observed first hand the clan-like behavior of wolves in Yellowstone National Park in 1998.
