Gray Wolf (Young Zoologist): A First Field Guide to the Wild Dog from the Wilderness

Young Zoologist

by Brenna J. Cassidy, Sally Agar (Illustrator)

A beautifully illustrated guide to gray wolves from wolf expert Brenna J. Cassidy.

You might know that gray wolves live in packs, but there’s so much more to learn about these incredible predators! Find out what makes wolves howl, why wolves sniffing each other’s butts is their way of shaking hands, and how some wolves in Yellowstone National Park used thermal activity to heat their den! You’ll also witness the incredible relationship gray wolves have with ravens (they play tug with wolf cubs), learn about wolf rewilding projects, and discover what it takes to become a wolf zoologist yourself. Filled with simple science and plenty of animal facts, this book also looks at the conservation challenges these animals face.

Featuring stunning illustrations by Sally Agar, Gray Wolf (Young Zoologist) is part of an exciting series of collectable animal books from Neon Squid aiming to inspire the next generation of biologists and conservationists.

⭐️⭐️⭐️ The Young Zoologist does a deep dive into the gray wolf that may sometimes be black and white. This picture book discusses these wolves from birth to their lineage to dogs. It includes their life in a den and their pack life.
