79-year-old German man lives, eats with wolves

1/30/2013

An Arctic wolf can devour bloody chunks of bone and meat whole  but that doesn’t stop Werner Freund from cuddling up next to the wild animals, sticking his face in the middle of their meal, and showering them with sloppy French kisses. The wolf researcher, who pioneered German wolf conservation in the 1970s, has been living with wolf packs for more than 40 years. He started Wolfspark sanctuary in Saarland and, at almost 80, the former paratrooper still acts as the alpha male to six distinct packs, describing himself as "half wolf." Judging from the photos above of Freund howling, wrestling, and ripping into caribou flesh, we believe him. [Source]
