I'm a liitle out of my depth when it comes to North American fauna (although I did correctly
identify the group of female elk that walked past our hotel window in Yellowstone Park and
they weren't 'horses' as my wife suggested!)
I'm sure if BIAD wore underwear, they'd have needed changing after hearing those screams.
And wolves... jeez!

Then there's that clanging noise you heard, now that was weird.
The screams did raise the hackles on my neck, but I was more curious as to what could produce them than I was scared.
Wolves aren't that bad. I was raising timber wolf - german shepherd hybrids at the time my tale occurred, so I'm not entirely unfamiliar with them, and not as scared of them as I perhaps should be. They are pretty loyal critters - as long as you bond with them before they are a year old. They will bond with one person, and no more, and not at all after they are about a year old. However, if you get one to bond with you young, you have a friend for life, but you can never sell or give them away to anyone else after that year is up. I had a big male that weighed about 140 pounds, and a female that weighed in at around 90 pounds, and no one other than me could do anything with them at all.
They proved invaluable one night when a fine young man thought it would be a good idea to break into my house through the back door and no one was home but myself and my son. Best guard dogs I ever had.

Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.
Said Aristippus, ‘If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.’ Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’
