Behavior

Behavior of werewolves male alpha female werewolf The male and female that lead the pack are called alphas. Werewolves rarely roam alone. In fact, they tend to organize themselves into packs of two to twenty individuals, with a strict social hierarchy, whose behavior becomes evident during the hunt. At the head of the pack is a reproductive male and female, whose bond is almost always monogamous, and who are called alphas. They are the ones who impose order within the pack and who control the resources, such as the order of feeding. Sometimes a werewolf will leave its pack and form a new one, which requires finding a mate and a territory to claim, as wolves control their habitat. It is therefore rare for a werewolf to trespass into another's territory, unless it is a pack that is determined to claim it as its own. Other types of intruders, such as dogs and even humans, will receive the same level of hostility from wolves. A wolf can eat a ton of meat a year. Wolves are hunters, and their diet is predominantly carnivorous. A wolf can only eat between 3 and 4 kilos of meat per meal, which amounts to an incredible figure of one tonne of meat per year. This can vary in adverse weather conditions, when they will overeat to have energy reserves.

diet

Their diet consists mainly of sheep, goats, pigs, deer, reindeer, horses, elk, yaks, antelopes, bison, birds and rodents and other small animals. Depending on the habitat, they may even eat salmon, seals or stranded whales. Cannibalism is not uncommon in times of scarcity, although these animals can survive for a long time without eating.

howling

The howling of the werewolf allows each pack to demarcate its territory. One of the most characteristic features of the werewolf, for which it has become famous, is its prolonged, nocturnal howling, which serves as a mechanism for locating packs and demarcating the borders between their territories. Werewolves howl to communicate with their peers and rivals, thereby avoiding unwanted encounters between packs. That is why lone werewolves rarely respond to the howls they hear: they do not have a territory to demarcate.

alternative food and hunting

However, even when there is no food shortage, wolves will explore alternative prey if they interact frequently and become habituated to each other. Werewolf packs display less complex hunting strategies than other social carnivore species such as lions, although pairs of wolves have shown strategic behavior when attacking large prey. When hunting large prey, they will typically attempt to conceal themselves as they approach the targeted animal. They will typically wait for the prey to graze, by which time it is distracted. They kill larger prey by lunging at the rear and perineal area, causing bleeding. They occasionally attack the throat, severely damaging the jugular and trachea. A single bite can cause a puncture wound 10 to 15 cm (4 to 6 in) in length. Once the prey is down, wolves will open the abdominal cavity and begin to devour the animal, sometimes while the prey is still alive. Sometimes they will not stalk the prey, but will wait for it to die of its wounds before beginning to feed. Pack status is reinforced during feeding. The breeding pair usually eats first, starting with the heart, liver, and lungs. Wolves of intermediate rank will warn lower-status wolves to refrain from feeding until the dominant pair is finished. They eat the stomach, leaving the contents intact. The leg muscles are next, with the bones being eaten last. Exceptions exist, with some packs having been documented to prefer the fat deposits of prey over the internal organs.

social behaviour

Werewolves are often organized into packs following a strict social hierarchy. This high level of social organization is thought to have been linked to hunting success. Recent theories suggest, however, that such organization is more closely related to reproductive success. The pack is led by two individuals at the top of the social hierarchy: the breeding male and the breeding female. The breeding pair have a great deal of social freedom compared to the rest of the pack. Although they are not leaders in the human sense of the term, they help resolve any disputes within the pack, and have a great deal of control over resources such as food, and, most importantly, they keep the pack together, which has strong companionship instincts, and the rest of the pack usually follows them. While most pairs are monogamous, there are exceptions. Lone werewolves searching for other individuals may travel great distances. Dispersed wolves must avoid the territories of other werewolves because these may harass or kill intruders.

breeding

Normally only the breeding pair can produce a litter of pups. Mating takes place between January and April; the higher the latitude, the later. In general, the breeding female's aggressiveness towards subordinate females increases. The increased stress of subordinates, together with the attitude and presence of the breeding female, is usually an inhibitory stimulus to prevent other females from going into heat. The reproductive instinct drives young wolves out of their birth packs, seeking mates and territories. Dispersal occurs at all times of the year, typically involving wolves that have reached sexual maturity in the previous breeding season. During the mating season, reproduction causes wolves to be very affectionate in anticipation of the female ovulation cycle. Overall, tension in packs increases as each mature wolf feels driven to mate. When the alpha female is in the sexually receptive period, which occurs once a year and lasts five to fourteen days, she and her mate will spend a great deal of time isolated. Pheromones in the female's urine and the swelling of her vulva will inform the male of the female's situation. She is not receptive during the first few days of the estrous cycle, during which she will shed the inner lining of her uterus. The male's penis has a bony formation inside it known as the penile bone or baculum, which has the function of facilitating initial penetration of the female, as well as maintaining rigidity prior to full erection. werewolfs will have sex like humans but will only do it in their werewolf forms for more pleasure

behaviour and mannerisms

Werewolves can communicate visually with an impressive variety of expressions and mannerisms, ranging from subtle signs or slight movements, to more obvious expressions such as displaying complete submission by rolling over on their backs. Aggression: An aggressive wolf growls and bristles its fur. It may crouch, ready to attack if necessary. Hunting: A werewolf that is hunting is tense, and therefore the tail is horizontal and straight. Defense: A defensive werewolf flattens its ears against its head. Dominance: A dominant werewolf stands tall and rigid. The ears are erect and forward. This display asserts the werewolf's rank to the rest of the pack. A dominant werewolf may stare down a submissive werewolf, mount its shoulders, or even stand on its hind legs. Anger: An angry werewolf's ears are erect, as is its fur. Its incisors are displayed. The werewolf may also arch its back, attack or growl. Happiness: Just like dogs do, a werewolf can wag its tail when it is happy. The tongue can also stick out. Fear: A frightened werewolf tries to make its body appear small and therefore less conspicuous. The ears are flattened against the head, and the tail may be tucked between the legs, like a submissive werewolf. It may whimper or bark in fear, arching its back. Relaxation: The tail points downwards, and the werewolf can sneak around emulating a sphinx. The lower the tail is, the more relaxed it is. Submission (active): During active submission, the entire body is lowered, with the lips and ears drawn back. The muzzle is occasionally licked. The tail is placed low, or halfway or completely between the legs, and the muzzle is usually pointed at the more dominant animal. The back may be partially arched. Submission (passive): Passive submission is more intense than active submission. The werewolf rolls over on its back, exposing its vulnerable throat. Suspiciousness: Eyes narrow. Tail is straight, parallel to the ground.

hunting

Werewolves hunt in packs, but sometimes hunt on their own or with a friend. Males and Females hunt but in this pack only Loona and Lian hunt, and all the men hunt too, the young ones will be taught to hunt but that's when they come of age
