| "My
fascination with wolves began long after the notion that they were
viscous killers in need of extermination had been dispelled by more
accurate accounts of their behavior in the wild. I've always viewed
them as I do the big cats - as complex creatures who are at once
beautiful and deadly, strong and tender, hunters and hunted, fitting
perfectly into nature's well-balanced plan. The aspect of wolves
that I address in "Alpha Pair" is the complex dynamic
of the pack, based on social hierarchy, loyalty and emotional bonding.
The dominant (alpha) male and female pair lead the tightly-knit
group in hunting and tactical decisions as well as family matters
(they are often the sole source of pups within the pack) and dominate
its fascinating social structure." - Rosetta |
