"The wolf followed the raven loyally as the black bird was his guide. He followed it through ravines, over hills, and under fallen trees without so much as a doubt. He knew he could trust the raven, not that he knew why. It was an instinctive, primal urge to follow and trust that he didn't understand - then again, did he need to?"----------------------------
Contest entry for *rainylake's contest ([link]). The contest theme is friendship
Very few mammals have symbiotic relationships with other animals. One of the few exceptions is the raven and the wolf. Ravens are sometimes known as "wolf-birds" because they form social attachments with wolves. Where there are wolves, there are often ravens that follow wolves to grab leftovers from the hunt, and to tease the wolves. They play with the wolves by diving at them and then speeding away or pecking their tails to try to get the wolves to chase them. (via [link]) However, the ravens aren't completely freeloaders and pests to the wolves. They often help lead a pack to game or a fresh kill they can feast on. The raven is unable to tear into the thick pelt of most game and therefore need the pack to open the carcass. This way both raven and wolf thrive off of the other.
Frankly, I find the age old relationship that wolves and ravens have completely fascinating and I thought that it would make a really interesting submission into this contest.
