Spent a "Wolf Week" at the Yellowstone Institute in Lamar Valley this past March. Early mornings to view wild life to include the current wolf packs in Lamar...staying up in the night to view the tremendous dark sky, Great Horned Owls, coyote and wolf howlings under a big moon...well worth the trip. Classroom lectures covering past introduction history and current issues facing wolf reintroduction in the Western US by guest lecturers was a bonus. Seeing Bob Landis taking footage for documentaries like this and learning about the decades of commitment from so many folks to make the idea of wolf reintroduction to Yellowstone a reality is truly an honor.

Incredible documentary that showed me something I haven’t seen: conflict between wolf packs. That was so sad but that is nature. May we as a civilization do what we can to ensure these wild lands flourish untouched

This video was so well done just to see how these wolves hunt and how they take care of their pups something i wont forget I want to thank the people who worked so hard to give all of us unforgetable quality video.I hope they make more

Felt like an old school documentary like from my childhood....no fluff, just facts, with smooth narration. 👍🏽engrossing.

Love the wolves, need more documentaries of wolves!! ❤ thanks for this upload

Never knew how often wolves had to make a kill or scavenge when pups were born. But I also was amazed at how effortlessly the grizzly turned a dead bison over. All these animals are so tough and intelligent doing whatever they can to survive and when possible avoid injury. Never be alone human or animal in Yellowstone. It’s unforgiving and rugged out there. I love nature I just hope we can keep these growing packs in Yellowstone and wherever else they roam and start families. I know how dangerous wolves were in the past and hope understanding and learning from these new packs helps us all find a benefit and place for them forever.

Wolves are absolutely beautiful creatures. I have loved them since the 4th grade in 1964 when I had to do a book report on them. I purchased a wolf pup back in 1980 for $700.00. I had him for a little over 5 years. I named him Shilo. He and my Doberman (Bubba Lou) became and were best of friends until he died of liver cancer. It broke our hearts something fierce including our Doberman. I was a basket case for several days. I had never heard of animals getting cancer, but our Doberman also died of bone cancer about 4 years later. I was also diagnosed with kidney cancer back in 2006 and still fighting it to this day. I still get teary eyed looking at pictures of them. He was one extremely intelligent animal as well as obedient, loving, and faithful, along with my Dobie. They were both amazing creatures. I would take them for car rides and they both loved it. People at stop lights would ash, "is that a wolf", and I would proudly reply, "He sure is"... I do not have the words to describe how beautiful and proud he was. I still miss them both so, so very much!!! Now I wish people would leave them alone and let them be wild as they were born to be. Shilo's mother was killed on the highway and her 3 puppies were adopted by other people. I stayed in contact with one of the persons who adopted Shilo's brother. He loved his wolf as much as we did ours. I believe he named his wolf cub Baron if I remember correctly. I believe Baron lived a good healthy life of 14 years. We lost track of the man that adopted their sister wolf pup. He moved somewhere way up in the Smokey Mountains of Tennessee.

Rip White Wolf 😢 what a great documentary about wild life. Good that they re-introduced them back in to their habitat. Nature can be harsh but its just that, its nature

50:17 after spending nearly an hour with this pair watching their lives abruptly end like that is sad to see but such is life.

1:23:05 Awe that poor wolf 🐺 with the mange..the way he turns and looks at the wolf that confronts him s if to say” look At me..I’m no threat to you..leave me alone”! I felt sorry for it..😢

I have lived my life BC, Canada. For 20 yrs I have tracked our wildlife, made sketches of many & watched their amazing survival. BC is rugged & tough, just like Yellowstone. Now as of 2022 I have turned to research for our elusive Wolves. I wish I had the gear I need to put the research into documentary. A New location has revealed my favorite animal living where they had been long gone, now there is a chance to give our Wolves chance along the Frs & Thmps Valley. We have 2 radio collared Alphas in our backyard, our 3rd yr. Good Luck needed for their survival, yet we see so little of them their winter night songs give us hope of a new future.❤❤❤ Would love to see them in documentary shows, they are only Resident Pack❤❤❤😊

Watching Yellowstone national park is very relaxing Watching these wildlife animals trying to survive an excellent documentary of the Yellowstone national park.

So wise so grateful for the intelligent minded who secured Yellowstone beauty.

I'm sure that I watched this before.. but I still love watching it again and again! We can stand a lot to learn from wolf behavior! Thanks for sharing this!

Nice - i loved the PBS documentary years ago on the Druid pack in the Lemar Valley. I am very happy to see this, which I feel is like a sequel.

I love wolves. They are beautiful, wild, animals . We need them to be wild, & free. --------MJL

I just realized the black pup is black wolf from the other documentary, I recognized from his grandfather around 22:10 Love seeing multiple documentaries ❤

no negativity, no sadness, no depression, just straight vibing happiness, i hope everyone who reads this will have a wonderful day, life is so amazing if you let it be :D

I think ALL wolves are gorgeous 👍🥰✨ I LOVE the look in their eyes 👀,so magnificent ❤️

Love the white wolf the first one for being a amazing mother and when she was about die she knew her fate has come to her and accepts it i miss her and she will be in my heart she's with her family howling

I saw a white wolf yesterday. It was the most magical thing ever ❤️

thx for the upload. these were wholesome documentaries. i can't stand the stressful narrative of more recent nature documentaries but this was so relaxing to watch

I absolutely adore wolves. ❤🐺

Wolves are the best animals ever. I just want to watch them. So beautiful and majestic. I really enjoy how they have a sense of family. I never had a family! You think they'd accept me to the pack?

In the first 5 minutes, missed this important information: with wolves, trees developed, trees brought back a river, and many other lives, as pollinators!

I wish every 1A auditor would do follow up videos like this. This is definitely the BEST 1A audit I've ever seen. Trust me when I say I've seen hundreds and hundreds of 1A audits.

This is the best documentary I’ve ever heard and it was pretty emotional too at some point

32:26 love how the cubs are like, what's up, what's going on...we got your back.

Im so emotionally invested in this documentary I legit had tears go down my face when Grey and White wolf died :( but such is life sadly, RIP💔🖤🤍

I love wolves! They are beautiful! ❤

Beautiful wolves

Beautiful seeing the Wild in wilderness while it’s left

Oh how I love 🐺 documentaries ❤ Thank you for sharing

I play a game called wolfquest based off of Yellowstone and that’s what brought me to these documentaries I love it

Wow wonderful documentary👏

❤love how grandpa brought little dark wolfito a Happy meal with toy to play with😊

Wolves are the most beautiful God's creature. Those pup are so adorable !

Excellent documentary.

Y’all better be making a part 3 I can’t get enough of these videos Maybe the story of ‘06 or Spitfire… 🙄😉

Absolutely beautiful ❤️❤️❤️❤️

What an incredible doc. One of the best I’ve seen in a while. Learned 15-20 new facts about wolves.

I have enjoyed watching the beautiful and informative wolf documentary. My 5 year old daughter also loved it but fella sleep half way through. Watching this captivating wolf pack brought back pleasant memories from my childhood. My grandmother used to watch animal channel every single night because I lived with her at the time. Best m memories of carefree life. ❤

Thank you. Extremely interesting.

Thank you for absolutely wonderful documentary loved every minute of it 👍🐾

white wolf is one of the most beautiful animal

OH My goodness,she sure is beautiful ❤️🌹 Thank you for sharing this video.

So sad about White Wolf (the Elder) and Greymale.

32:30 lmao the way the cubs stood up and looked around like "Ayo where they at momma, we finna beat them up too"

527 if you haven't ever heard or played a Native American Cedar flute you really must give it a go because it sounds like that hearts of the Wolves talking to the ancestors

Absolutely fantastic video!!Love that it is longer than 1 hr. Always great stuff from this channel.💝

Wild and free as wolfs are meant to be.

These creatures have such a difficult life....if it wasn't for such long and brutal winters....fascinating documentary!

The sound effects in full effect on this one lol

I have never seen any documentary about wolves that is so good and attractive

It's nice to see the wolf living like mother nature made it this way. Instead been taking away from their home lands great video on the wolf

That dancing bird scene was out of this world. I can't believe all this is free.

Love wolves:)in Africa we only have one wolf species identified about a year ago ,closest are the Jackal-similar to the American coyote,the painted wild dog,spotted hyena and Aardwolf (brown hyena)are our wolf type animals in character..appreciation from South Africa

Epic and moving . I'm glad to have watched to the end.Liked and subscribed.

Yes im a big fan of the wolf good to see them back were they belong

took me 3 days to get thru it but this was an outstanding documentary. thank you!

I was surprised at the size of the wolves in comparison to the grizzlies.

Thisis amazing! I felt like a was a kid again watching " The world of Survival" ....beautiful, great, thank you sooo much 🙌🏻 subscribed 😊

Oh I so enjoyed watching on my big screen.❤️So beatiful !⭐️🏆⭐️

I’d like to know what the prevailing attitude was generations ago that prevented the understanding of the criticality of the natural environment and an understanding that something from one country can be incredibly destructive in another. Species wiped out, invasive plants and other things intentionally brought in, etc. Failure to recognize a habitat critical to the environment resulted in a developer even trying to drain the Okefenokee Swamp for development. Scientists/botanists while in Japan noticed how kudzu grew there and thought it would be great to bring to the southern US to stop run off and erosion in red clay environments. It was brought to Georgia, for example, and planted. As a result of the soil and climate difference, the kudzu grew uncontrollably and choked out natural plant life and grasses. Maybe everything was so people-focused and oriented there was the belief that the environment was to be conquered, not co-existed with.

Really enjoyed that, brilliant 1

its sad how i can say with confidence that these animals do a better job at parenting than 95% of humans do

I've seen parts of this documented but to see it recapped as a whole amazing job ❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉

Thanks so much for the update. I expected you to get depressed when you got home. Glad your working through it. One thing I noticed, you didn’t mention, missing Joe and being able to see him now. I kind of felt sorry for him. But he probably understands, I hope so. Personally, I would like to know more about your life now and some clips of your walk. Do your students understand what you have done while you were away? Will you show them clips of the walk? I am very thankful you are healthy and excited you get to go to NY to see some of your group. Take care and keep working through it. I am 75 yrs. old and wish I could live off the grid, society is not nice like it used to be. God bless. ❤❤

The information provided here is incorrect, in regards to one thing: The narrator mentions that the black pup has been fathered by a different male, and therefore, if resources become scarce, the pair will only provide for the pups that belong to both parents, biologically; however, this is NOT the case, at all. Male wolves regularly assume the role of step father, and they do incredible jobs at fulfilling their duties. Unlike most other species, where infanticide would be committed towards the offspring of another male, a wolf will step in and raise another male's young, as if they are his very own. He will show no differences, whatsoever, in the way his step-pups are raised, vs the ways in which he will raise and bond with those of his own seed. This is actually something that occurs, far more often than one would think, and repeatedly, I've seen the step father act as an excellent provider, and educator towards his adopted pups. They commonly form close-knit, lifelong bonds, and the pups are 100% treated as if they are his own. This mentality stems from the fact that the success of wolf packs is almost entirely a numbers game. The bigger the pack, the more successful they are in hunting, claiming and maintaining territories, fighting, etc. With this in mind, it makes sense for the male to assume a step father role, as it means the pack will grow that much more in size; thus, along with that growth, become increasingly more successful, over all. I work with wolves, so I am very well educated in their behavior and characteristics, so, as a result, I, just, felt compelled to clarify this one, particular point!🐺💜

The most incredible dream I’ve ever had was one where I was running with a pack of enormous wolves. I can’t explain the feeling but I was running through the forest and open plains with the most beautiful wolf pack, huge & majestic animals they were.

this is wonderful documentary, it reveal some unknown area , occupied by other wolfs since druids are best known pack!

Beautiful nature

Very good video. Amazing how in 100 years humans can go from death and killing to making amazing documentaries

I first experienced wolves in the wild at age 17 hitch hiking the norther route of th trans-Canada highway.100 miles between towns. As dusk was fading into night I hastily set up my mosquito proof pup tent and climbed into my sleeping bag I laid there listening to a howl in the distance unlike a coyote that I heard many times before around my home in te Mojave. I thought there was no problem as the howl was a distance away and not 5 minutes later I heard several wolves sniffing + scratching in the brushy forest right next to my tent!!! I didn’t sleep a wink that night as I laid in my tent listening to th swarms of mosquitos constant buzzing outside. The next morning went back into the truck stop cafe and the waitress took one look at me and exclaimed “You spent the night OUT THERE ?!!!

Great Video. Thanks.

Great shots and sounds!

Beautiful. And I’m glad to be camping with my portable electric bear fence. 2.4 lbs to pack for huge peace of mind.

Great ducument or wolves! Love this and love wolves.

Very very good. Thank you

I think I heard that ppl brought in the mange mite to get rid of the wolf packs. If this is true it's dispicable. Ignorance abounds. Wonder what unexpected problems have come into existence with this event.

I was at my local dog park yesterday and there was this gorgeous wolf-dog there. So beautiful!! He was 1/2 Timber Wolf, 1/2 Siberian Husky. He was huge!!!

Very interesting video Beautiful wolves

You can always see a healthy system by the numbers of predators. They are needed there to keep nature in balance. In the Rocky National Park and surrounding areas, the elk are taking over everything and they are ending up starving in the winters. Wolves are desperately needed there to get nature back in balance. This Park needs to do what Yellowstone did by bringing the wolves back!!!

ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS VIDEO 🐺💝🧡

Thank you

Gorgeous film.

Very good. Thank you.

I commend those working for the reintroduction of the wolves. Thanks a million and hats off to those people and hard workers that are trying to make it work and happen. Kudos to all! 🏆🎖️🏅🥇

I love wolfs there😂😂like us funny and beautiful 😍 ❤ our dogs 🐕 are part of our lives and family too they lived within people in two thousand years in bc as our family or clan people .

The wolves eating with the bear was awesome

Good video. To me it was very much worth watching and I also liked that it didn't get to heavy into Politics. It showed the good and the bad. The beauty and the Harsh realities. Maybe someday I'll get to visit Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons. My take on them is extremely Pretty but very cold winters. Hopefully I'll get to watch many more video's like this one. Also be aware,I can be hard to please when it comes to this type video's. So if I think it's good, somebody should make more like it.

56:38 My favorite part lol. White wolf said "I'm not mad I'm disappointed" 🐺

19:00 or there abouts. Im not sure who wrote the narrative for the narrator, but, if you ever watched ANY species, the black pup is getting the prize rewards. Mom puked, all went in, then seeing black pup, pukes elsewhere. All the pups follow mom to new pile. Black pup has whole first pile to himself. He's not "allowed" He's dominant

I would love to know how y'all got all this up-close footage?!! Were y'all actually out there or did you use drones? It's amazing how much information y'all were able to glean from these wolves. They seem to be amazing creatures to be admired from a distance. I can't believe they can take down a bison, that is incredible teamwork.

Who knew a bull elk's call sounded like 5yr old me when I see somthing in the dark 😂

I miss white wolf and Gray wolf 😭😭 R.I.P

Wonderful story ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

I loved watching this.

God bless 🙏🙏🙏🙏

wonderful 🐺 ❤️❤️❤️
