# Lobo — Wild Animals I Have Known character guide

> Lobo in Wild Animals I Have Known by Ernest Thompson Seton.

**Role:** major

**Also known as:** Old Lobo

**First appearance:** 0003-lobo

## Snapshot

The gray wolf who rules the Currumpaw pack with cunning and command, outwitting every trap and poison bait the ranchers devise against him.

## Who they are

Lobo leads his pack across the Currumpaw range as a near-mythic adversary, his raids so precise that ranchmen speak of him with grudging awe. His loyalty to his mate Blanca is the one softness in an otherwise ruthless nature, and it becomes the fault line his hunters learn to exploit. Seton presents him not as vermin but as a personality with a view of life, and that framing gives the story its moral weight.
