Predators And Prey Quotes

“Wolves attack the hindquarters of prey first, biting into the animal's meaty rump or ham. They stay away from the tendons near the hooves. People hamstring wolves, wolves do not hamstring prey. Hard, sharp, and lethal, hooves are the last things wolves want near their heads. They aim for the flanks, grasping for a hold in the large muscles, hoping to bring the mammal down. A trip, a stumble, a fall, and the wolves go for the throat. The animals in the rear begin feasting as their partners crush and remove the herbivore's windpipe.”
― Jon T. Coleman, Vicious: Wolves and Men in America

“The first you learnt at eight

when he called you away from your siblings

and taught you why some men

who smile at little girls

make you uncomfortable.

You painfully learnt the secret language of mistrust.”
― Ijeoma Umebinyuo, Questions for Ada
