I think that the family are after their inheritance!!

For Christmas last year the kids and grandkids pooled together and bought us a combined present which we experienced today. It was at Monkton Farleigh near to Bath, and gave us a close up and intimate time with two male European Wolves. A little apprehensive at first as they enter and place their paws on your shoulders and give you a good lick. After that it was an hour close up in their company. We sent the dog away for the day and her carer used to look after the wolves at Longleat. You will be fine she advised. We have been quite close to wild wolves in Northern Spain around the Sierra de la Culebra, but we were in a hide in a National Park and our guide had rifle just in case; but this was something different. A memorable experience, followed by a nice pub lunch. Next year Grizzlies in BC perhaps.

Wolves are very sociable animals , so long as you don't challenge the Alpha and so long as there is plenty of other food available. What an experience to be next to such beautiful animals . I dislike the nature programs which show a wolf or fox hunting a rabbit and the rabbit gets away , thats not how nature works and the program makers should show what really happens gore and all and not pander to the sentimentalists who think nature is all nice and pretty, disney has a lot to answer for.

That's exactly how nature works - more times than not the prey escapes capture - so we don't get overrun with predators and the prey species are caught often enough to keep the predators going, as well as keeping numbers of the prey species under control.
