Le loup est un père exemplaire - ZAPPING SAUVAGE

In the vast area of the Pêcheray animal park in Sarthe where wolves cannot get lost or escape Fatherly skills are nevertheless put to the test The image of the wolf is often that of an aggressive species Yet intimate moments he reveals himself to be an extremely gentle and involved father in the upbringing of the children Only the dominant male is able to mate with the female It is the rule in the pack this small family community of which he is the leader His privilege is however accompanied by a duty that of constantly watching over his children The responsibility is great Because if the leader fails in his duties as a father then his pack companions no longer respect him On the other hand if what he does is right and in the group's interest he gains their trust and obedience For example young scouts sometimes sneak through brambles into hidden corners inaccessible to adults and temporarily escape their father's watchful eye Anxiety and stress manifest quickly His instinct commands him to reassemble the entire group He uses his sense of smell so developed that he can smell farther than he can see The young wolf has a good reason to stay away It is approaching weaning At this age the mother's milk is no longer digesting well His father would be capable of searching for him for miles and days on end When eyes meet stress decreases Here the fugue is not the only one It never lasts very long Nevertheless she is still taken seriously by a vigilant and determined father He showed solidarity for his children In return she obeys him Here the wolves present another image of their community Indeed led by an authoritarian father a iron paw in a velvet glove
