It is said, once you've seen a wolf, you are not likely to forget it. The first thing you notice is its eyes. The wolf's penetrating stare seems to burn right through you. The next thing you will likely notice is its size - they are very large animals!
In fact, the Timber Wolf is the largest canine in the world. One lean, mean hunting machine! I have sculpted this alpha male wolf as he is out searching for the next meal. The sculpture is aptly named "On The Hunt". Contrary to popular belief, the wolf seldom hunts alone. He hunts together with other members of the pack. The core members of the pack are the dominant male and female, called the "alpha pair". Because he is usually larger and stronger, the alpha male is the leader of the pack. He will lead the others "on the hunt", sometimes covering 30 to 35 miles in a day. Wolves are making great strides toward their comeback in the United States. Their numbers are on the rise, and perhaps it won't be long before you, too, have the privilege of seeing one face to face in the wild...
For the strength of the pack is the wolf And the strength of the wolf is the pack... -Rudyard Kipling, "The Jungle Book"
