This past weekend five of us from the I Ho Chuan team travelled to Golden to visit the Northern Lights Wildlife Wolf Centre. We went there to learn more about the latest addition to our five charities and get a first-hand look at these magnificent animals and how important they are to our ecosystem.
Wolves are a keystone species. This means that they have a very critical purpose in keeping balance in nature. Without wolves the herbivores do not have a natural predator. The vegetation then suffers and the rest of the species relocate.
However, what really spoke to me was just how family oriented wolves are. Every member of the family has a purpose, they all look out for each other. It is quite admirable. They have a set task for everyone. Even the Omegas, the ones in the pack that can't hunt or lead are tasked with watching over the young ones while the rest go out to hunt. This is a very important task!
I thank Sifu Randy Langner for organizing this trip. I had a fantastic time and learned so much.
Take care everyone.
