International Wolf Day
August 13 · Level 9 · #419 of 2238
A day devoted to wolves and the part they play in nature. It invites us to drop the fairy-tale villain and see a clever, social animal that helps keep whole ecosystems in balance.
How it is celebrated: animal protection groups and wildlife reserves hold talks, online events and activities for children. Zoos explain how wolves live and hunt, and campaigners speak up for protecting their habitat.
A wolf pack is usually a family: a breeding pair and their offspring, from pups to young adults.
