      This spectacularly illustrated photography book captures the behavioral observations and stories of wild wolves in North America. On August 24, 2013, wildlife photographer John E. Marriott received a call that changed his career. A friend had seen gray wolves feeding on a moose carcass in Kootenay National Park. Although the moose was gone by the time Marriott arrived, he encountered a lone wolf, marking the start of a transformative five-year project to learn about these elusive creatures. Marriott dedicated himself to documenting the Kootenay wolves, spending countless days hiking, snowshoeing, and camouflaging himself to observe their lives. He faced numerous challenges, including tourist traffic, transport trucks, trophy hunters, and trappers, yet he witnessed this wolf family thrive against the odds. Through his lens, he captured astonishing behaviors rarely seen in the wild. Join Marriott on a visually exhilarating journey into the daily lives of the Kootenay wolves, featuring memorable characters like Hawkeye, Whitey, Stranger, and the remarkable wolf he affectionately called Mom. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in the state of wild wolves and their survival in a changing world.
