My favorite animal is the Wolf. Wolves have just always seemed to symbolize so many things: closeness to their family (I love the pack), toughness, the ability to survive at all costs (I consider myself a bit of a lone wolf, respect for the pack, but very independent), and there's just a majestic image about them too. I think they're absolutely beautiful animals. Hearing wolves howling from a far just gives me the chills. I've always had a huge respect for native americans and their heritage as well, and the wolf plays a huge role in that. There are some pretty cool folk tales that involve wolves that I remember being very fond of growing up.
