The public's interest in wolves has never been greater. This exciting family oriented presentation has been created to fill the need for the latest actual, factual information.

The fear of wolves was brought to this continent by the first Europeans and it had a basis in fact because some European wolves did kill people. To the native Amerindians, the wolf was a kindred spirit - respected, but not feared. There has never been a documented attack on a human being by wolves in North America, with the exception of one wolf in Ontario, Canada that was rabid.

On this continent, attacks on humans are part of the mythology that has evolved around wolves and the lives they lead. Extensive, intensive and on-going research, on many parts of the continent, by many biologists, has given us a wealth of factual information. To dispel the myths about wolves, Dr. Rue has distilled all of this latest research to bring you this visual documentation of the facts about how wolves really live.

Hear the mystic, yet hair-raising howls of the wolf, learn about anatomy, daily life and travel, how they hunt and the prey they hunt, how they socialize, their body language, their dens and the raising of their pups, the competition among the pups for dominance and much, much more.
