Why do wolves lope?

Once upon a time, wolves used to do many things. They ran, they sprinted, they chased, they raced, they hunted, and one or two who had limb problems, used to also lope.

Then, as is usual in society, fashions changed. Sometimes sprinting was popular, while some years, chasing was the in thing. Then, one year, long ago, the Great Division took place. That year, the latest fad was loping. This was quite difficult to do well, and so it only became popular in one small segment of younger, less mature wolves.

The wolf-watchers predicted this would never catch on.

But slowly, the group that loped gained not just popularity, but cult status. Old fashioned wolves deplored loping, but the group gained new adherents every time a cub became a wolf.

The two parts of the pack started having bitter disagreements. The divisions became more and more intense, until finally, there was a Split, and two parties were formed.

One, which gained great popularity, was the Pro-Lope Pack, and the members were the Pro-Lopes.

The other party initially had more members, indeed, every mature and sensible wolf started out as a member, but pretty soon, within days, they had to completely close down.

After all, which wolf wants to be called an Anti-Lope?

Snooty tourists
