The bad wolf in people's mind is necessary for his survival and a link in the natural food chain.
Wolves are much better than people. The most vicious animal in the world is man.
Ancient humans were full of reverence and worship for wolves. They carved the image of a wolf on the rock wall of the cave. Eskimos and Indians have long recognized the excellent qualities of wolves. Many primitive Indian tribes also regard wolves as their totems. They respect the courage, wisdom and tenacity of wolves. They think that the wolf is the most intelligent god and can compete with all forces. Some nomadic peoples in ancient China, such as Xianbei and Xiongnu, all had primitive worship of wolves in their cultures.
However, due to various reasons, human beings gradually have a profound misunderstanding of wolves and regard them as representatives of greed, cruelty and ingratitude. In Chinese, many words about wolves show our misunderstanding, such as "Wolf's ambition", "cruelty" and "collusion".
Due to the great cultural differences among countries in the world, there are various reasons for hatred and misunderstanding of wolves. In ancient China, sheep were beautiful and regarded as a symbol of good things, but sheep were wolves' favorite food, so wolves were naturally regarded as a symbol of evil and cruelty. In European Christian culture, the lamb represents Christ crucified, and wolves hunt for the lamb, which is naturally hated by all Christians.
In this cultural background, people describe wolves as lonely, insidious and cunning species, and their high desire for bloody food makes them unscrupulous and unscrupulous. This is that human beings arbitrarily impose their own behaviors and thoughts on wolves, giving them ugly humanity. Because of the fear and hatred caused by this misunderstanding, human beings hunt wolves cruelly. In fact, all the actions of wolves are just an instinctive expression of survival, but the excellent quality of wolves' tenacious survival in a tough natural environment has always been ignored by human beings.
Recently, with the deepening of the study of wolves, many people's views have changed greatly. They found that wolves have many unique qualities and realized that wolves are very different from other animals. They represent vigorous vitality, unruly wildness, free nature, fighting character and courage to conquer the world, which is exactly what people need now. Our society is clearing the name of wolves, and it is gradually forming an upsurge of understanding wolves, understanding wolves and learning wolves.
From the perspective of natural ecological balance, wolves, like other species, are indispensable to nature. The disappearance of wolves will cause ecological imbalance. 500 reindeer were introduced into a national forest park. A few years later, people found that superior natural conditions did not significantly increase the number of reindeer. On the contrary, the reindeer's physique is getting weaker and weaker, and the number is also decreasing. Under the guidance of biologists, the managers of the forest park introduced more than a dozen wolves. Because of the wolf's pursuit, the reindeer began to run hard, and the slowest reindeer became the wolf's food. Under the chase of wolves, the physique of the reindeer herd has been greatly enhanced, and in the past few years, the number of reindeer has not decreased because of the predation of wolves, but has greatly increased. Irish writer Aquilis? In his book Smile of the Jackal, Axe wrote:
Wolf is one of the most advanced food chain terminators among terrestrial creatures. Because of the existence of wolves, other wild animals can eliminate unhealthy groups such as the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled; It is also because of the threat of wolves that other wild animals are forced to evolve better to avoid being eliminated by wolves. Therefore, it is wolves that keep the ecological balance. Without wolves, there will be a situation of uneven quality and rampant infectious diseases in ecology, which is not conducive to the stable, healthy and balanced development of life. Besides, wolves are the most orderly and disciplined group among social animals.
In the vast wilderness, a pack of wolves tread the snow in search of prey. One of their most common marching methods is to March in a single file, one by one. The leading wolf consumes the most energy. As a pioneer, it took the lead in fighting a way in the soft snow, so that the wolves behind could preserve their strength. When the leading wolf is tired, he will stand aside and let the wolf who follows him take its place. In this way, it can follow the end of the team, have a rest, save your strength and meet new challenges.
At night, there is no sound more gloomy, sad, terrible and beautiful than the unusual musical howl of wolves. Perhaps the reason for howling is to provide time, occasion and opportunity to break all hierarchical boundaries. The social order of wolves is very firm, and every member understands his role and status. When we watch wolves eat, we can see sounds and actions like kneeling, bowing, whining and hugging-everything depends on the position of each member in the wolf. But when wolves howl together, all the hierarchical boundaries disappear. They seem to be announcing, "We are a whole, but each one is different, so it's best not to mess with us." Anyone who has heard the wonderful chorus of wolves will prove that their message is very clear.
In wolves, we found everything that human beings need. Just like the British zoologist Shao? Alice said: "among all mammals, the most emotional is the wolf;" The most resilient person is the wolf; The most successful people are wolves. "
The wolf represents a spirit and a philosophy. Wolves, observe a road-Wolf Road.
Before human prosperity, wolves were the most widely distributed wild animals in the world. They don't need charity from others, they just want to live in their own social order and lifestyle without being disturbed. It is because of this persistence that they are almost extinct from the earth. However, they still persevere and wander freely in more remote and remote places, even if they need to adapt to worse climate and worse environment. This is the life dignity of the Wolf clan.
Bloody dignity
So far, human beings have tamed all animals, except wolves.
In all descriptions of wolves, indomitable character, inviolable freedom and independence are the most unquestionable and remarkable characteristics of wolves.
Up to now, human beings have tamed all animals, but only wolves can't tame them. Think about it, we saw tigers, lions, cheetahs and so on doing various actions under the command of the animal trainer in the circus. They are all kings of animals in people's eyes. But no one has seen a wolf in the circus. Don't think it's because wolves are weak and unattractive compared with these animals. In fact, many animal trainers have tried to hope that wolves can perform on stage, but they all failed. Even from the moment the wolf was born, feeding by raising livestock could not make the wolf's wildness disappear. On the contrary, this wildness will become more intense because of the loss of freedom. Although there are many legends circulating in the grasslands of South America that people live in peace with wolves, wolves will never give in to people and never obey their commands.
In order to make my description of wolves more vivid, I conducted in-depth interviews with local herders in pampas grassland and Brazil savanna. In the conversation with them, I heard many legends and stories about wolves and the real experiences of herders. These perceptual knowledge about wolves are integrated with the scientific knowledge I know in my mind, forming a more comprehensive understanding of wolves.
On the Argentine pampas prairie, people once dreamed of taming the wild wolves on the prairie. Dogs are indispensable animals for shepherds. Shepherd dogs can help shepherds manage their flocks and drive away some wild animals that try to attack them. Wolves and dogs are similar in many ways, but dogs are not as developed as wolves in sense of smell, sight and hearing, and dogs are not as fast as wolves in running. Therefore, herders are eager to tame wild wolves to help them manage their sheep. However, all the herdsmen's efforts failed, and some herders were injured or even killed because of raising wolves.
In nature, all the actions of animals are for survival, and all the struggles between animals are for survival. Biologist Darwin discovered the greatest secret of nature hundreds of years ago. In the struggle with other animals, wolves fully demonstrated the spirit of fighting to the death and never giving in. When wolves meet animals stronger than themselves, they usually adopt the strategy of group attack. The wolf's own conditions are not outstanding. Compared with tigers, lions, rhinos and other animals, they are very weak. Even if they attack in groups, it will cause a lot of losses to wolves. But wolves never flinch. No matter how much sacrifice they make, they will not back down until they kill or drive away their powerful opponents.
Even between different wolves, there will be a life-and-death struggle. Each wolf pack has its own territory, which occupies a very sacred position in the minds of wolves. Due to the limitation of natural environment and the killing of human beings, some wolves will compete with other wolves for territory. So there will be a bloody battle between the two wolves, and the winner will become the master of this territory, while the loser can only pack up the defeated soldiers and find another territory. Two wolves will never * * share a territory to avoid sacrifice, and the defeated party will not succumb to other wolves even if it starves to death.
Look, this is the unruly and indomitable wolf. Wolves have the ability to make our hearts tremble!
A strong man must have an unruly wolf nature.
All of us will think that man is the noblest animal in the world. Indeed, in many ways, human beings have advantages and wisdom that other species do not have, and these advantages and wisdom have also helped human beings become the strongest on earth. But in this modern society where material civilization is more and more developed and science and technology are more and more in-depth, are we losing some spiritual qualities that only existed in ancient times? Or have we never had one? And these are almost instinctive in some animals?
The answer should be yes, and many people will agree with me. For example, what noble character we are talking about now is the indomitable wolf nature. If this character appears on a soldier, he will become a hero or martyr in the battle; If this kind of personality appears in an enterprise employee or team member, then this enterprise or team will make great achievements in the competition.
