In 1995, the first gray wolves were transported from Alberta, Canada to Yellowstone National Park, to repopulate the sprawling landscape with the species, absent for more than 70 years. The following year, a second wave of wolves was brought to the park from British Columbia, Canada; five of them were released together, and they were named the Druid Peak pack. Since the arrival of those first immigrants, wolves have thrived in Yellowstone — and none more dramatically than the Druids.
The epic history of the Druids, one of more than a dozen packs now occupying the 2.2 million acres of Yellowstone, is documented in NATURE’s In the Valley of the Wolves, was produced and shot in High Definition by Emmy-award winning filmmaker Bob Landis.
On the Web site for In the Valley of the Wolves, you’ll learn how the successful reintroduction of Yellowstone’s apex predator has changed the entire ecosystem of the park, and about the threats that these majestic animals continue to face on their road to recovery.
Watch an online-exclusive video. In this video, Emmy Award-winning wildlife cinematographer Bob Landis discusses the making of the film, including the ideal circumstances for filming a predation scene; the importance of spending a vast amount of time in the field; the uniqueness of Yellowstone’s Druid wolf pack, and more.

@Reality, just because some rancher puts a bunch of cows on their land, does not mean they have the right to kill every other species in the area to protect them. How pig-headed your family has been in their thinking for a hundred years…
If you don’t want your livestock eaten by wolves, either put up a protective fence all round, or accept that you will have losses, like most other businesses in this world. Or maybe go into another kind of business?
Stop whining, and stop killing wolves. They are here for a reason…
I’m watching the show right now on public TV. I have loved wolves through the years…..followed the Dutchers’ Sawtooth pack as well….shed tears……..I had to turn the channel when I saw that the pack that had taken over the Druids were going to kill the male coyote. I also had to turn the channel during the battle of the wolf packs, as I didn’t want to see any fight to the death and hear the squeals…… I turned the channel back, hoping the coyote incident was over, and saw the female looking back for her life-long mate that would not be coming, and yipping and howling such a mournful sound, while the pack was around her dead mate. It was SO sad, her having to go off by herself. Why did that have to happen? I know it’s nature, but I can’t take that stuff. I just wanted to comment, and I’ll go back to watching……From what other comments have said, it sounds as if there will be a happy ending. I just get too emotional about the sad parts.

It is wonderful to see Bob still doing this. I loved it when he would show us his photos and films in class back in the 1980s. Of course I didn’t learn one bit about calculus and failed the class, but I learned to love nature photography.

Pretty twisted they let these killers back in the wild! Doesn’t seem very Christian to me to let what has proven to be a dangerous species run free. Hopefully people will come to their senses soon.
