thurs-fri blues.

Jus finish watching Growing Up Wild at animal planet. today's animal is the Wolves.

learnt smth again today.
wolves have different 'statues' in a family pack. And amongst the many females in that pack,
one female will try to rule' to become the 'dominant' female'. being the youngst or a alfa female over ur grandmothers. She stil is 'Queen'! haha.

in sounthern california (i tnk)
theres this wild life conservation centre where they study wolves and raise them (human raised) trying to know more of the wolves, beheaviours and in search of artificial insimulating (spell !oops) them to help them reproduce. due to the dropping numbers of wolves. ( if im nt wrong, there is really v.few creatures of wolves arnd, e.g the red-haired(itnk) and smth golden brown has less then 6-12 of them in the wild. And that centre has one of each.

They are trying to find some way to keep them alive and continue their family line.
raising them to about 2 months and releasing them to the wild : their aim.

the highlight of this episode was the birth of 7 pups form two females.
one was a natural pregnancy - (5 babies, 2 females n 3 males) and the othe by Maria' an artificial one. (2 males) The centre's first sucess in this artificial insimu-----tion! hahaha.
WOW.


have to mention this!!
2 of the really sweet pups was named Truck and Growly-pants!!! ( try to read frm their names... named them becuz of their beheaviours!!.. i shld hav named Wynn, Pity Patch!! :P)
Truck's the biggest out of them all yet the most gently... and growly pants growl everytime u touch her!! and since young she has signs of being e most dominent one and nt forgetting in size she is the smallest amongst them. haaha


had parts where they tried to put the pups into the adult pack, Maria the real mum unable to acknowledge her pups as the dominent female wants to be mum, her trying to hide her motherlly nature... the pups fitting in..the handler's worry and prayers... so much so much
they showed alot of hand raised scences of the wolves, their beheaviours. How the handlers used their Dogs as companions, The human touch to keep close contact in order to not lose the mother-ly connection with the handlers, the feeding, the time, the effort, the knowledge.... and ofcoz..the LOVE.

i lovvvve this show... and would lovveee to write more and more proper.... but its 2am... and i have work tmr. ahhahaha

anyway... its a distanced dream to have such a lovely and specail JOb like those of the centre. hand raise them..put in all your tym n have No life... study them and raise them like what they shoud b... have scars, bites and behave like an animal....( the lady even learnt how to hoowl)... and most importantly..Save them...and return them to the wild.. pay tribute to the nature we humans have taken frm them...

let our future generations see the beautiful side we saw.

WAAaaa... sounds 'wei da'.. but i am serious.. n i meant what i say...
let this drem live on....
as i countinue my journey on Animal Planet..! thks to u SCV! hahah

mylove.
