Shaun grew up in a rural part of England. The local animals were his friends. At a young
age, Shaun watched how the local foxes lived. As a young man, one of his first jobs was
working in a game preserve. A game preserve isn’t a normal park. A game preserve is a
place where animals are kept for hunters to shoot and kill. Shaun loves animals. He
didn’t want them to die. He fed them and planned to help the foxes escape.

When his boss found out, he was fired.

Later in life, Shaun joined the army and became a soldier. This experience as a soldier
made Shaun’s body and mind strong.

protect After living in America, Shaun returned home to England and began working with wolves
in a wildlife park. In the park, one of the wolves had three babies. For some unknown
reason, the mother wolf rejected these babies. This was Shaun’s chance to start doing
unique animal research. Shaun became their mother, brother, teacher, and leader.

He first taught these young wolves how to speak like a wolf. Wolves make many
different sounds to communicate.

Shaun learned all about this wolf language from the Native Americans.

Some wolf sounds are defensive. These help keep other enemy wolf packs away and
prevent fights over food. Some wolf sounds are a call to bring the wolf pack together.
Other wolf sounds are locating sounds.

Each wolf has a unique locating sound, which is like a name. When the wolf pack hears
this sound they know where their brother or sister is located.
