Well, I was on http://www.wolfquest.org today and I they repeatedly stated that they were trying to make it (the game) as realistic as possible, so people could learn about wolf habits. But, I guess I generally thought of people already knowing alot about wolves.

I was wondering, how many of you here would consider yourself wolf experts, or perhaps you know a lot more than other people?

Would you mind sharing some facts, just for the heck of it? I have read many wolf books but they never go into really deep details.

One thing I know is when wolves are pups, their parents go hunting, and eat after they catch their prey. Upon returning, their young offspring would nip the parent's muzzle or lips to indicate they were hungry. When this action is performed, the parent regurgitates (vomits) half-digested food for the pup to eat, much like birds. I think this is introduced a little after the pup is born, and before actual meat.

Well, I know that how high the tail of the wolf is raised, it is showing it's ranking. For example, an alpha would have his tail raised high,on the other hand, the omega would raise it tail slightly above the ground.

And I'm a little bit of an expert on wolves. I've been reading and studying sbout them ever since I was 6.

I've heard that to avoid being in a fight, lower-ranking wolves would lie low to the ground or put their tail between their legs-this showed they were submissive and the higher-ranking wolf would back off.

I know alot about behaviour. I know the postures and tail signals. I know about the ranks and...well, behaviour!XD

Yes, yes, but the books we read are not from research by biologists? Just complete guesses?

And I said "consider yourself an expert" which means, would you say that you know alot?

Also, the term expert isn't used strictly for that meaning; when most people use the word they use it like this.



In that case, Bobby is not a mathematician but someone who is familiar with math and is skilled in math. I use the term the same way here.

TREMBLE AT THE ALMIGHTY RAGE OF VOCABULARY! TREMBLE!

What sarcasm? I was adding an example, since you questioned my use of the word. Let's stop discussing the English language and get back to the topic.

Could you offer a better example if you were in my place, please?

I agree with Seppala. Not a single person who posts here is a Wolf Expert. I know a LOT about wolves, I will say this. But not a wolf expert. Once gone through school to become a olf biologist, I would have. But still, this is not the point. I know a lot more than most people. I have a shelf filled with books on real wolves. I guess you could call it obsession. I do not know. But if you want to know more about wolves, go to Barns N Nobles. They have some pretty deep wolf books. ;]

Ok, well, I actually said to drop it a few posts ago. And Maya, *sigh*.

keyword: consider. If you consider potato a fruit that doesn't make it true. So if you consider yourself an expert, that does not make it true.

Trust me, I know enough of the English language to know how to USE the word "expert", so please, both of you, shut up about "expert" and get BACK to the topic.

stupidness.
