The relationship between wolves and humans is long and complex. Although
ancient wolves are the ancestors of today's domesticated dogs, over time wolves
have come to be seen as violent predators. In the United States, changing laws
over the past 80 years demonstrate the wide range of opinions about wolves.
Ranchers, environmentalists, residents, and government officials have been
involved in ongoing disputes over the question of whether and where wolves
should be allowed to roam. This NOVA program profiles the wolf's diet, habitat,
and hunting behavior and examines the connection between wolves and human
culture.
