WOLF PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
THE
WORLD OF WOLVES - ALL LIFE MATTERS
Please join Sue Carrigan for
an informative program and slide presentation about Gray Wolves. These
amazingly intelligent and adaptive creatures once roamed this great country, but
it is only within the past 14 years they have made a comeback after near
extinction. Wolves are the top predator and have been absent from most of the
United States for close to a Century. There is still much controversy from man
as to whether or not we can find a way to live with them in harmony. The wolf
species as a whole needs the support of humans of all ages if they are going to
survive.
Learn who once roamed here,
what happened to them and why. Learn about their physical structure, family
life, habits, and social interactions. Find out who’s in charge in their pack
and why it is so important to their survival. Learn about their diet, territory
range, pups, and their fun and sometimes serious sides. You will learn about
their past and current status, leaving with a better understanding of them as a
species and their place in this world.
The program can be designed for any age student.
It generally lasts an hour for adult presentations and up to an hour and a half
for students. This is a hands-on program. School age children’s groups will
experience the wolf’s sense of smell through engaging activities, while younger
minds will experience the wolves through a wonderful story and hands on touching
and sensing. This program does not include a live wolf demonstration.
