All these animals have in common that they rarely, if ever, “go it alone.” Wolves are notorious pack-hunters, and always have a clear chain of command in their ranks, but people often overlook that their seaborne counterpart in the world are the beautiful orcas. Also known as killer whales, orcas travel in pods like their smaller cousins, the dolphins. Dolphins get away with a much more historically gentle disposition, because of their playful and curious nature toward humans, while bands of gorillas, if ever sighted, are feared and held in awe for lack of presence anywhere in the world but central Africa. Each of these species move about their surroundings with a territorial purpose, and defend what they deem as rightfully their own. They defend the members of their social grouping, and they care for their young, old, and sick. They use babysitters, they have affairs, they have deadbeat fathers and even the occasional runaway bride. They mourn their recently departed.
