The Not So Lone Wolf

Sacraficing for the Pack / Family Unit

The idiom lone wolf first appeared in the late 1890s, and is derived from a phenomenon in nature. Wolves are normally pack animals, but sometimes a wolf is driven from the pack and must survive on its own. A lone wolf is often more aggressive or stronger than a wolf that belongs to a pack, out of necessity. Overall, though, wolves are very social animals. Once a wolf has found a mate, they tend to stay together for better or worse, through sickness and health, often until death due them part. Of course it is typically only the alpha male and female that breed, leaving the rest of the adult pack members to help rear the young and ensure their survival.
