Definitely the way to go. Woof. We can learn much about empathy and compassion from the human-animal relationship. Human-human notso much. https://lnkd.in/euBQDiGR

THE WOLF PACK Wolves are complex, highly intelligent animals who are caring, playful, and above all devoted to family. Only a select few other species exhibit these traits so clearly. Just like elephants, gorillas and dolphins, wolves educate their young, take care of their injured and live in family groups. A wolf pack is an exceedingly complex social unit—an extended family of parents, offspring, siblings, aunts, uncles, and sometimes dispersers from other packs. There are old wolves that need to be cared for, pups that need to be educated, and young adults that are beginning to assert themselves – all altering the dynamics of the pack. The job of maintaining order and cohesion falls largely to the alphas, also known as the breeding pair. Typically, there is only one breeding pair in a pack. They, especially the alpha female (the mother of the pack), are the glue keeping the pack together. The loss of a parent can have a devastating impact on social group cohesion. In small packs, human-caused mortality of the alpha female and/or the alpha male can cause the entire pack to dissolve. After the alphas, wolves second in command are called the betas, followed by mid-ranking wolves, and finally the omegas. Both mid- and low-ranking positions are somewhat fluid. Although an omega may hold that position for many years, it is not unheard of for the pack to pick a new omega and let the other retire. Living in a pack not only facilitates the raising and feeding of pups, coordinated and collaborative hunting, and the defense of territory, it also allows for the formation of many unique emotional bonds between pack members, the foundation for cooperative living. Wolves care for each other as individuals. They form friendships and nurture their own sick and injured. Pack structure enables communication, the education of the young and the transfer of knowledge across generations. Wolves and other highly social animals have and pass on what can be best described as culture. A family group can persevere for several generations, even decades, carrying knowledge and information through the years, from generation to generation. (Sources : Web, Video Source: TEDx.

An enjoyable way for very young children to learn about the importance and pleasures of sharing #CanYouShareLittleWhale #jonnylambert3 #LittleTigerUK is #picturebook of the day for #RedReadingHub - it’s reviewed on the blog now with #ZekiEatsOut #AnnaMcMcQuinn #RuthHearson #AlannaMaxBooks

🦢❣️🦢 Have you ever wondered how similar we are to animals like swans? 1. 🦩 Monogamy: Swans, like many humans, form lifelong bonds with their partners. This devotion to a single partner mirrors often human relationships and shows the importance of love and loyalty in our animal kingdom. 2. 🦄 Parental care: Swans are attentive parents, caring for their kids with great dedication. This nurturing behavior is akin to how humans look after their children, highlighting the universal nature of parental love and responsibility. 3. 🐧 Communication: Swans use a variety of sounds and body language to communicate with each other. Similarly, we humans rely on verbal and non-verbal cues to convey our emotions and intentions. These shared behaviors remind us that, despite our differences, we share profound similarities with the animal world. Let's celebrate our connection to nature and learn from our animal counterparts.

Giving Animals a Voice! Had a great time in Spanish class with students using the basic verbs we've learned first semester (ser, estar, gustar, querer, ir, etc.) to highlight some special animals in need at Athens Humane Society. Koko was Casey William's favorite pick of who he wanted to give a shout-out for some love to...And with this face, who can't love her?! He says, "Hello. I'm Koko. I am a black and white Terrier Bull mix. I am one year old, four months, and thirteen days old. I'm medium sized. I have brown eyes and a big smile. I understand words like, "Get Up," and I'm very good at listening. I like to hug and play with toys. I want a family to love. I like kids, but I don't like cats. I want to go to a home with a large field to play in." Disclaimer: This may not be 100% true as Koko doesn't have a complete profile so we invented a few things, but check her and/or other pets out Athens Area Humane Society ;) NewHeightsEnglish.com for more group class details! 😊 #AthensHumaneSociety #HumaneSociety #nucor #nucorwarehousesystems #athensga #monroega #LearnSpanish #Spanish #Spanishclasses #Communitygiving

FACULTY OF USELESS KNOWLEDGE - HOW TO WORK AROUND #FORBIDDEN #WORDS I received an email by LinkedIn's Al Gorithm who apparently was in a defecating mood, because I used a forbidden, #intimidating, word to describe a public figure, in a comment which was therefore deleted. I use a lot of words that are short and understood by everybody. For instance 'dog', which isn't a forbidden word - as far as I know. Now let's assume it is a forbidden word, and if I want to write about it, I'd have to work around it, using a lot more letters than needed, like so: 'A four legged mammal that is a domesticated descendant of the wolf', I'd run out of the number of letters I can use in a post a lot quicker. Which would lower the information density, which is idiotic*. * This word is used to check if Al Gorithm understands the difference between nouns and adjectives.

My October love book: sigh over fluttering fall leaves in the background, read snippets of dedication & acknowledgements in the foreground. Am I so, so, SO lucky to be able to write about predators, prey, wildlife, wild places and the people who work for them all? Goal: helping kids absorb empathy through storytelling
