Wild Animals I Have Known by Ernest Thompson Seton
"WILD ANIMALS I HAVE KNOWN" by Ernest Thompson Seton is a collection of narratives about various wild animals, penned in the late 19th century. The book presents true stories of individual animals such as Lobo the wolf, Silverspot the crow, and Raggylug the rabbit, focusing on their personalities, struggles, and relationships in their natural environment. Seton blends nature observation with storytelling to showcase the intuitive behaviors of these creatures and the underlyingmoral truths regarding humanity's connection to the animal kingdom. At the start of the collection, Seton introduces the first story, "Lobo, the King of Currumpaw," detailing the life of an infamous gray wolf in northern New Mexico. Lobo is portrayed as a proud, intelligent leader of a small pack that terrorizes local ranchers by preying on their livestock. Seton provides insight into Lobo's cunning nature, illustrating how he avoids traps and hunters while evoking both admiration and fear. Through vivid descriptions, we witness Lobo's encounters and challenges, including a rivalry with human hunters and a heartbreaking bond with a female wolf named Blanca, setting the stage for a tale rich in emotion and the harsh realities of life in the wild.
