Feral wolf kid

Garett Deal requested I share my feral past. James Dickinson agreed.

Around spring 1990 my family took a trip to the Wisconsin Dells, I was 1yr.. old at this time. Due to a little careless mistake I got lost wandered off or more so crawled off. I was found by rangers 6 months later wandering a little ways off from a wolf den. Apparently they had adopted me as a wolf cub(pup). My human development was not hindered much by this and what I went through those 6 months is vague only a few images remain. Those images are barely dechiperable because they lack human understanding even to me on a basic primal level of instinct. I'm glad to be with my real parents, but I also have a great love of wolves for saving my life they are as much my family a my mom, dad, and sister. However, I was informed there are no more wolves in the dells, they are all dead. I hope they just migrated or are hidden so their offspring are okay, but if they were hunted and killed the people who did should hope they never meet me.

Although i can not remember the time with my wolf family I will try to explain what happened. I remember feeling warm fur, tingling wetness probably a tongue bath form the mother. Also suckling/breast feeding most likely happened. Also I probably ate some meat pre-chewed and partially digested meat at one time. Tumbling for no reason, playing with my sibling the taste of fur in my mouth and walking on all fours and sleeping curled up against my mother. If I had stayed I would have become an Omega wolf dominate as a Alpha but more docile and peaceful. Later after I was rescued and got teeth they noticed my incisors were sharper then normal and my K-9s had turned sideways to look like fangs you can check my dental records, I needed braces. Also I remember the scent of blood since I didn't contact much animal blood it probably was a cut I got when playing with my siblings just like they did, after that we really might have been blood brothers. I know it was wolf blood from the scent because it didn't make hungry it could of been from one of the adults which were Alphas they got while hunting.

Wolf hierarchy:

Alpha male
Alpha female
Beta male
Beta female
Gamma male/female
Delta M/F and so on all the way to
Epsilon
Digamma
Zeta
Eta
Theta
Iota
Kappa
Lambda
Mu
Nu
Xi
Omicron
Pi
Rho
Sigma
Tau
Upsilon
Phi
Chi
Psi
(normally female status defined by male after mating-not always- usually mates one of same class)
Omegas are off that scale. dominants like alpha and betas are more feral and violent while submissive are more docile and a wolf must always submit to a higher rank. Submissives are important because they bring the pack together, the higher rank wolves are supposed to protect the lower ranked ones. Omegas don't have to . Too move up in a rank you challenge a wolf a win (sort of like playing cry uncle). Omegas never change rank they are the best suited as lone wolves although prefer to be in a pack. Other lone wolves come from leaving a pack or being run-off/ kicked out which may leave them injured/dead and left were they fall because they may not want to leave of a pack. So they may not survive, but they can.

I learned to be aware of everything around me and use all my senses. My parents when they found me were shedding there winter coat so the Alpha male father was going from white gray and the Alpha female was going from light gray to a black. They were timber wolves so they brothers and sisters were always gray while I was with them and well as maybe a patch here of there of a different color here and there. There were no Beta wolves because this was the last recorded remainder of the any wolf pack in the dells. I f they survived I hope they re-populates.

I write this with tears of joy and worry. I wish i could know what happened and see if the family line survived, I do really miss them.

Remember some of this is guess work assumption and trying to decode feelings
to new human terms. Feel free to ask questions I may add to this later.

Awroooooooooooooooooooooo! (Howl) LOL

  1. There we have it! The truth comes out in written form. Thanks for sharing your history with the world.
    I feel like a lot of Foundation guys need advice about women. Maybe some helpful hints could be included in you next posting?
