    Wolves too. They have their own cultures, wars, families, even special techniques like having one wolf chase goats up gullies on glaciers, while other wolves ski down the chutes to intercept the goats.

    And humans mowed down the entire pack from helicopter. Recently, Montana massacred their packs in a similar way, killing over 100 wolves. It’s stomach churning. I’ve read a couple books on wolves, and some are so sad because the wolves are way too human when you give them more than a passing glance.

    They are…unsettlingly smart. Which makes it all the more tragic when someone traps one and shoots it while trapped, and the wolf knows what’s going to happen, and calls out one final low goodbye as the human raises the gun. Jesus. I had to put that book down.
