A wolf pack is really a family: a mother, a father and their growing cubs. They work together, look after each other, and 'talk' by howling. A howl can carry for kilometres through the trees; it helps the pack stay in touch and tells other wolves 'this is our home'.
Wolves are important helpers in the forest. By following herds of deer, they keep nature balanced and healthy. They are also shy and usually keep far away from people. For a while there were very few wolves in Poland, but thanks to protection their numbers are quietly growing again.
Wolf cubs are born in spring and the whole pack helps raise them, bringing food and teaching them how to live in the wild. Spotting wolf paw-prints in the snow is an exciting sign that the deep Polish forests are thriving.
