Wildlife Monographs Magazine Wolves Vorige editie

A history of these much maligned creatures seeks to dispel many of the popular prejudices. Wolves are creatures of myths and legends and in fiction are usually portrayed as the evil villain. Indeed the cry of a wolf on a dark night must be one of nature’s most eerie and fear-inducing sounds known to man.

Here however the authors set out through words and stunning photographs to give a clear and balanced understanding of these proud and splendid looking carnivorous creatures. The fact that wolves have managed to live through harsh environments as well as man’s attempts at eradication makes them one of nature’s great survivors.
