THE WOLF
The Wolf is the Only Animal That is Very Loyal to Its Parents

The wolf is the only animal that is very loyal to its parents, it serves its parents in old age. It is a proud animal, so the Turks liken their children to sheep instead of lions “Wolf” is the only animal that never compromises its freedom and does not become a slave to anyone, while every animal including a lion can be made a slave.

A wolf never eats, and this is the way of the king of the forest, and neither does a wolf look at a Muharram woman (mother, sister), which means that a wolf, completely different from other animals, does not even look at his mother and sister with lustful eyes. A wolf is so loyal to his spouse that he does not establish a relationship with any other woman besides her. In the same way, the woman (that is, her spouse) is loyal to the wolf in the same way.

A wolf delivers its children because their parents are the same. If one of the couple dies, the other mourns by standing at the place of death for at least three months. The wolf is called “Ibn al-Bar” in Arabic, meaning “good son” because when his parents get old, he hunts for them and takes care of them. That’s why Turks liken their children to wolves instead of lions. They believe that “It is better to be fierce as a wolf than to be bloodthirsty like a lion.”
