Age old story… Daughter – “It’s him, it’s him, it’s him!!!” Parents – “It’s… him.”

I like seeing how Casanova and the pack act around each other. It’s very interesting how this enthusiasm from the daughter and the groan like temper from the parents are put together. Great video!

I want to see more!

Wild wolves don’t wear collars.

There is no more spiritual and beautiful animal that the wolf! I can see traces in the dogs I have had and wonder at the pictures I see. How can anyone kill these creatures for the ‘hunt’? We can learn much from the way they care for their families and feel joy and the song of their howl!

Peter- the wolves were wearing collars for monitoring purposes (to help the park monitor movements to help keep track of the populations and migratory patterns). Great show, although the part where the male coyote was attacked was particularly hard to watch.

I really enjoyed this video. This is one of the many reasons why wolves are my favorites. They’re so like humans in all the good ways and not the bad. And @ Peter, these wolves are truly wild, but they are collared so that they may continue to be studied and so their well-being and movements may also be tracked by researchers and park managers. Usually one or both Alpha wolves are collared, as the pack moves where they move. Just FYI.

superb! One of Nature’s best. Just Wonderful.

Daughter wolf seems ready to climb out the window on a ladder and elope.

sarahand phyllis you are both right. those collars are called radial collars. they are used to track them and to tell all about them and there lives

I have watched this program 2 times on PBS, and then I bought it for my 16 year old grandson, who just loves everything about wolves. This was a wonderful program, and I hope to see more like this one. I give it a big 2 thumbs up!
