Wolves run in packs in order to survive. Out of that pack only one couple will have pups. The whole pack will raise the pups. When a wolf chooses a mate it is for life. They are the second most social land animal.
Most lone wolves die within a year or two after being outcast.
The pack divides their duties, works together, and protect each other. Early explorers encountering them found them to be very gentle and shy. Healthy wolves have never been known to attack humans. The only time attacks happen is when rabies are involved. Wolves hunt the weak, old, and sick animals.
