But soon he faces a new opponent: his adopted son, who mates with a violent alpha female. An unusually young alpha male, barely a teenager in human years, Wolf 8 rises to the occasion, hunting skillfully, and even defending his family from the wolf who killed his father. Wolf 8 struggles at first-he is smaller than the other pups, and often bullied-but soon he bonds with an alpha female whose mate was shot. This is the incredible true story of one of those wolves. Decades later, the rangers brought them back, with the first wolves arriving from Canada in 1995. Yellowstone National Park was once home to an abundance of wild wolves-but park rangers killed the last of their kind in the 1920s. The first book we discuss, The Rise of Wolf 8: Witnessing the Triumph of Yellowstone's Underdog, introduces us to the wolves of Yellowstone National Park. Today I talked to Rick McIntyre about the first two books of his ongoing The Alpha Wolves of Yellowstone series.
