==Story==
It is the dry season, watering holes are getting smaller and smaller as they evaporate. The wolves and elk are forced to live in close proximity to each other. A young elk calve feed a wolf and their pack and young wolf cubs, keeping them alive. But, as long as the elk calve is near its mother, it's safe!

====Action Call====
Do you know how important mother mammals are to their young? Understand this by avoiding the wolves.

==Game==

===Safety===
*Scout playing area for hazards: tripping objects, stinging insects, trash.
*Players should [[Pay Attention]] everyone, not just the Mama Hippo.
*This a stalking or walking game, not running game.

===Mission===
Ask everyone circle up. Set up a circle boundary that no one can leave. Say the following instructions:

*Everyone here are super cute elk claves.
*Look across the circle at someone who is NOT looking at you. Imagine that person is your mother elk.
*Now look at someone else who is NOT looking at you. That person is a wolf. They really want to eat you.
*Your mama hippo can protect you from the wolf, but only if you keep your mama hippo between you and your crocodile.
*When I say "go", walk DO NOT run wherever you need to within the game area, try to keep your mother elk between you and your wolf.

It will chaotic for a few minutes. Let it go on for a bit, then have everyone circle up to play another round.

 ==Story==
-It is the dry season, watering holes are getting smaller and smaller as they evaporate. The wolves and elk are forced to live in close proximity to each other. A young elk calve feed a wolf and their pack and young wolf cubs, keeping them alive. But, as long as the elk calve is near its mother, it's safe!
+<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0)">Elk are an iconic species in the</span> Pacific Northwest. They are adaptable herbivores that eat a large variety of plants, and they can exist in many habitats from deep forest to arid, near-desert conditions. <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0)">Male elk (known as bulls) commonly grow to 700 pounds, and female elk (cows) to 500 pounds. Adult elk are rarely hunted by predators such as wolves, but wolves will commonly</span> prey on young elk (known as calves). Elk often live in herds numbering anywhere from 10 to 400 individuals, which helps to protect them from predators. When hunting elk, wolves try to separate individuals away from the herd. Because young elk are more vulnerable to predation, it's important that they stay close to the adults! In this game, everyone pretends to be an elk calf that is trying to stay safe from hungry wolves.
 ====Action Call====
 Do you know how important mother mammals are to their young? Understand this by avoiding the wolves.

 ===Mission===
-Ask everyone circle up. Set up a circle boundary that no one can leave. Say the following instructions:
+Have everyone circle up. Establish a circular game boundary that everyone must remain inside. Give a brief description of elk and wolves, then explain the game rules:
-*Everyone here are super cute elk claves.
+*In this game, everyone should imagine that they are a small, cute elk calf.
-*Look across the circle at someone who is NOT looking at you. Imagine that person is your  mother elk.
+*Now look across the circle at someone who is NOT looking at you. Imagine that person is your mother elk.
-*Now look at someone else who is NOT looking at you. That person is a wolf. They really want to eat you.

+When you say "go," the result will be constant movement and silly chaos. Let it go on for a bit, then move onto your next activity or circle up and play one more round.
