A very educational video from Cousin Carole. 
Barb and I were in the Yellowstone when the “Return the Wolves” drive began. Barb made some fairly substantial contributions to the project. Although there is some rancher concern,, this video shows some positive results. 
What is the “Middle Ground”?

Remember when the wolves were introduced back into Yellowstone National Park  about 20 years ago?

There was a lot of debate about whether or not it was a good thing.  I don't know your thoughts on this but have a look  at this video clip.

How often do we wonder, what the heck difference does one animal make in the greater scheme of things? Well, here is the  answer!!

Enjoy this amazing video on how just one animal has changed the environment.

A Wolf Pack - This is amazing!  A wolf pack: the first 3 are the old or sick, they give the pace to the entire pack. If it were the other way round, they would be left behind, losing contact with the pack. In case of an ambush they would be sacrificed.
Then come 5 strong ones, the front line.  In the center are the rest of the pack members, then the 5 strongest following.
Last is alone, the alpha.  He controls everything from the rear. In that position he can see everything, decide the direction. He sees all of the pack.
The pack moves according to the elders pace and help each other, watch each other.
