Synopsis

Wolves are the wild, savage ancestors of all domestic dogs, from the German shepherd to the poodle. Investigate with the help of this book, the lives of these specialized hunters and examine their close relatives, wild dogs. Discover the strengths - and weaknesses - of the wolf as a hunter, its remarkable sense of smell and the strict codes of conduct that operate within its society. Focus features zoom in closely on how wild dogs behave, capturing what it is like to hunt with wolves or observing dingos in the outback. Myth boxes explore popular stories about wolves, and "did you know?" facts provide little-known truths with which you can impress your friends.
