| Summary |
"Villejä eläimiä" by Ernest Thompson Seton is a collection of animal stories written in the early 20th century. The book features tales that explore the lives of various wild animals, presenting their personalities, struggles, and the connection between humans and the animal kingdom. Seton aims to provide readers with an understanding of wildlife beyond superficial observations, depicting each creature's unique traits and experiences." "The opening of "Villejä eläimiä" introduces readers to the author's intentions behind these true stories. Seton emphasizes that while he may not adhere strictly to historical accuracy, the personalities and lives of the animals in his narratives are real and vividly portrayed. The first tale focuses on Lobo, a powerful gray wolf that ruled the Currumpaw region in New Mexico, causing distress to local ranchers. Seton describes Lobo as a formidable and cunning leader of a small pack, compelling the ranchers to devise various strategies to eliminate him while highlighting the wolf's intelligence and ability to outsmart hunters."
