Summary
This week I was able to get more specific with my research and start using twitter centered around my animal for this course, wolves. To me, wolves seem like fascinating creatures that I would love to learn more about. I searched through twitter and stumbled across many researchers and organizations that I would highly recommend if your animal is similar to mine. If you are researching Canidaes, I recommend following Emmanuel B. Harel. He specializes in Canidae research and has conducted various trials and tests on them. A fun and useful organization I found was the International Wolf Center. They consistently upload fun facts and images on wolves which I found to be very useful and informative. The ChatGPT exercise taught me how to efficiently use AI for research. I found some interesting facts, my favorite being that a pack is led by an alpha pair and not an alpha male.

Scrolling through my classmates' posts gave me insight into what their interest were and some fun facts about their animals. Aanchal Patel, a fellow student in writing 60, presented some interesting facts about foxes and how adaptable they are to different environments. Overall, I learned a lot about this week's twitter activity and what my classmates are interested in. It is cool to see such a diverse background with many different animals.
I really like your recommendation to follow Emmanuel B. Harel because I'm also interested in Canidae research. I also found your AI research super interesting about wolf packs being led by an alpha pair and not a single alpha wolf. I wonder how many wolves an alpha pair of wolves could manage/lead.
