Dr. L. David Mech's new book, "The Ellesmere Wolves: Behavior and Ecology in the High Arctic," explores a unique, previously unstudied population of wolves. Unlike other wolves who shy away from humans, these Ellesmere wolves coexist comfortably with people, allowing researchers to observe their behaviors up close. The book details the remarkable adaptations of these carnivores, emphasizing the significant roles both parents play in rearing pups, as well as their interesting hunting and caching methods. Overall, it elevates the reader's understanding of and respect for wolves and their environmental challenges.
The Ellesmere wolves, living not far from the North Pole, are as wild and natural as any, but they are also unafraid of humans.
Dave studied the Ellesmere wolves from a few feet day after day and with 24 hours of daylight.
