TIMBER

During the first few weeks of its life, this gray wolf cub did little but eat, sleep and play. A wolf, like Timber, is never too young to howl! This young wolf can have a great future but Timber has much to learn. To survive in his world, he needs to observe and follow the examples of the leaders of the pack. He must learn to cooperate with the other cubs in the pack. The young cub will need to trust the other cubs in the pack and become responsible himself as a cub worthy of trust for in his world, the survival and success of the pack can only be insured through teamwork. Wolves learn to accept responsibility for their role in the pack, not just to protect themselves, but for the good of all the others in the pack. Timber must constantly be aware that there is danger in his world. He will rely on his elders and pack mates to help provide him with protection. Together,Timber and the pack can accomplish much more than any one of them could on their own. Timber is happy, for now, to be a wolf cub. He enjoys the time he gets to play with his friends. He appreciates the many things the pack provides him with. Still, he works hard to be ready when it is time to join the adult wolves. There is much growing to do before his howls can join the choruses of the adult wolves, but Timber figures that if he starts practicing now he might one day be the LEADER OF THE PACK!
