David Mech lived with a group of wolves on Ellesmere Island, some six hundred miles from the North Pole. Elsewhere, most wolves flee from even the scent of humans, but these animals, evolving relatively free from human persecution, are unafraid. Having already spent twenty-eight years studying other populations of wolves more remotely by aircraft, snow-tracking, live-trapping, and radio-tracking, Mech was primed to join their activities up close and record their interactions with each other. This book tells the remarkable story of what Mech—and the researchers who followed him—have learned while living among the wolves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Ellesmere wolves were so unconcerned with Mech's presence that they allowed him to camp near their den and to sit on his all-terrain vehicle as he observed them, watching packs as large as seven adults and six pups go about their normal activities. In these extraordinarily close quarters, a pup untying his bootlace or an adult sniffing his gloved hand was just part of daily life. Mech accompanied the wolves on their travels and watched as they hunted muskoxen and arctic hares. By achieving the same kind of intimacy with his wild hosts' every action that we might experience living with domesticated dogs, Mech gained new insights into common but rarely studied behaviours like pup feeding, food caching, howling, and scent-marking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAfter Mech's time at Ellesmere ended, his coauthors and fellow wolf researchers Morgan Anderson and H. Dean Cluff spent parts of four summers studying the wolves via radio collars, further illuminating the creatures' movements and ecology. \u003cem\u003eThe Ellesmere Wolves\u003c\/em\u003e synthesises their findings, offering both a compelling scientific overview of the animals' behaviour—from hunting to living in packs to rearing pups—and a tale of adventure and survival in the Arctic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46854936985836,"sku":"9780226833743","price":60.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/5f4070e3867ac03a03129a751d7d8dcf.jpg?v=1759263003"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/morgan-anderson.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
