The ARTIC WOLF

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Wolves must often go for days without food; but can then, eat up to 100 pounds of meat at a time.

Food is so scarce in the Arctic that no part of a wolf's prey is ever wasted. A wolf will eat every part of an artic hare, including the skin, fur, and bones.

Several of the younger pack members will watch over the cubs while the mother wolf is hunting. Within a month after their birth, the cubs are able to eat meat; although, it is regurgitated meat from the kill. From this point on, the whole pack shares the responsibility of feeding them.

As in the hunt for the Sacred Buffalo, the Native Peoples learned from the Wolf. Every part of the Buffalo was used . . . nothing was wasted.
