More good comment on the dog\/wolf post<\/a> – I may have to look at adding a ‘greatest hits’ category to the Blogroll\/Booklist\/etc. series on the right…<\/p>\n

As I was dashing off a reply to the latest comments, it occurred to me that I had read a pretty good fictional account of prehistoric wolf cub raising. I think it was in Elizabeth Marshall Thomas’ Reindeer Moon<\/a>, but it could have been in The Animal Wife<\/a>. I’m on the road right now – I’ll check when I get home and post an update. Both books are highly recommended – stories of prehistoric life written by someone who lived<\/a> with hunter-gatherers. IIRC there was a major omission from both books, though – no giant hyenas<\/a>! I have been very close to Siberian Tigers (couple feet away w\/ a chain-link fence between us, up close and personal with wolves (also in captivity) – the one critter I didn’t want to get anywhere near was a spotted hyena. They are scary animals, as far as I’m concerned. And, before you ask, no, they are plenty intimidating on their own – I don’t think I need to invoke any Jungian race-memory or suchlike<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Update<\/strong> – the wolf passage was in Reindeer Moon<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
