Wolves - Behavior, Ecology and Conservation (Broché)

Wolves are some of the world's most charismatic and controversial animals, capturing the imaginations of their friends and foes alike. Intelligent and adaptable, they hunt and play together in close-knit packs, sometimes roaming over hundreds of square miles in search of food. Once teetering on the brink of extinction, wolves have made a tremendous comeback in recent years, thanks to legal protection, changing human attitudes, and efforts to reintroduce them to suitable habitats in North America.
As wolf populations have rebounded, scientific studies of them have also flourished. But there hasn't been a systematic, comprehensive overview of wolf biology since 1970. In Wolves, many of the world's leading wolf experts provide state-of-the-art coverage of just about everything you could ant to know about these fascinating creatures. Individual chapters cover wolf social ecology, behavior, communication, feeding habits and hunting techniques, physiology and pathology, interactions with humans, and conservation and recovery efforts.
The book discusses both gray and red wolves in detail and includes information about wolves around the world, from the United States and Canada to Saudi Arabia, Israel, Romania, and Mongolia.
