Wolves were chosen because many of our families have first hand experience with dogs, the domesticated form of wolves. We have purposely chosen to focus on just two of the many predators and prey as a means for teaching basic concepts about behavior. The Nature's Partners curriculum is just one step toward increasing the public's awareness and sense of responsibility. people's interactions with predators and prey.The Nature's Partners: predators prey & you curriculum is designed to educate people about: We can better understand our domestic livestock by thinking like their wild ancestors who were prey species (1).įor the most part, the general public is unaware of the similarities and differences between humans and other prey, or between the mentality of prey and their predators. Behavior of the wild game we hunt, teaches us how the mind of prey species differs from our own, encouraging us to learn to see our world through their eyes. Gaze into the eyes of a deer, and what you see will depend on your attitude about Bambi.
