An interesting and informative book, illustrated with a host of beautiful photographs. It does focus heavily on North American wolves, with next to nothing about those from other areas, but the majority of the information can be applied to the species as a whole, so this isn’t a major issue. Some of it is a bit outdated now – it was written before reintroductions to Yellowstone, for example – and there are occasional factual mistakes, such as the suggestion that hyenas are part of the dog family (which they aren’t). Still, this is a good overview of wolves, and the pictures are delightful.

The text is pretty basic, but the pictures are amazing.

It's amazing to think that such such amazing animals, the wolf, was hated so much, and still is by some people.

Though we know a lot about wolves there is still so much to learn, and learning about wolves is great because they are such interesting creatures, but have so much in common with humans. Facial expressions, intricate family groups, play time, and family dinners.

I really enjoyed the amazing variety of photos that was in this book. This was a good read.

I'm not sure if this is the actual edition I'm reading, but it's the closest I could find.
