We’ve heard a lot of myths about wolves … but what’s the truth? Watch Peter Gros and Dr. Rae Wynn-Grant get the facts on this fabled animal in this week’s episode.
Dr. Rae and Peter demystify a misunderstood canine, the wolf. First, Peter visits the Endangered Wolf Center, founded by Wild Kingdom’s original host Marlin Perkins, where he participates in a health checkup for a new litter of red wolf pups — the most endangered in the world. Then, Dr. Rae visits the Wildlife Science Center in Minnesota and enters an enclosure with a pack of gray wolves. Inside, she learns their language and is amazed by the wild instincts of these incredible animals and their close relationship with their human caretakers.
Get a sneak peek of the episode, learn about wolf conservation in the U.S. and discover the wolf’s history with the Endangered Species Act.
