About The Rise Of Wolf 8: Witnessing The Triumph Of
Product Description As told by a world-famous wolf expert, this “powerful origin story of one of Yellowstone’s greatest and most famous wolves” (Washington Post) is full of adventure, and makes the perfect gift for animal lovers, science buffs, and wolf fans. Book One in The Alpha Wolves of Yellowstone Series. Book Two, The Reign of Wolf 21, is available now, and Book 3, The Redemption of Wolf 302, is available October 19, 2021. Yellowstone National Park was once home to an abundance of wild wolves—but park rangers killed the last of their kind in the 1920s. Decades later, the rangers brought them back, with the first wolves arriving from Canada in 1995. This is the incredible true story of one of those wolves. 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. 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. But soon he faces a new opponent: his adopted son, who mates with a violent alpha female. Can Wolf 8 protect his valley without harming his protégé? “[The Rise of Wolf 8] is a goldmine for information on all aspects of wolf behavior and clearly shows they are clever, smart, and emotional beings.”—Marc Bekoff, Psychology Today Review An Amazon.com Best Science Book of 2019! Runner up — 2020 Reading the West Book Awards! Named a Notable Book by the 2019 Sigurd F. Olson Nature Writing Awards! “[McIntyre's] greatest strength is the quiet respect and wonder with which he regards his subjects, a quality clearly informed by decades of careful watching."—Publishers Weekly “Rick's book [The Rise of Wolf 8] is a goldmine for information on all aspects of wolf behavior and clearly shows they are clever, smart, and emotional beings."—Psychology Today “The main attraction of this book, though, is the storytelling about individual wolves, including the powerful origin story of one of Yellowstone’s greatest and most famous wolves."—Washington Post “Yellowstone’s resident wolf guru Rick McIntyre has been many things to many people: an expert tracker for the park’s biologists, an indefatigable roadside interpreter for visitors, and an invaluable consultant to countless chronicles of the park’s wolves—including my own. But he is first and foremost a storyteller whose encyclopedic knowledge of Yellowstone’s wolf reintroduction project—now in its 25th year—is unparalleled.”—Nate Blakeslee, New York Times bestselling author of American Wolf “The Rise of Wolf 8 is a welcome entry in the increasingly large library of Yellowstone-centered books. McIntyre’s writings stand out amongst the others because of its on-the-ground details and obvious intimacy with the main subjects. He cares equally about these animals and about being accurate. The readers are the beneficiaries of his efforts.”—Hollywood Soapbox “[McIntyre] spins the best stories about wolves that anyone will ever tell. No one could match it.”—Douglas W. Smith, senior wildlife biologist and project leader for the Yellowstone Gray Wolf Restoration Project “The Rise of Wolf 8 is a saga of triumph and tragedy, tribal warfare, love and loss, sagacity and survival, revealing new insights into the complexity of lupine existence. You will be richly rewarded by reading each detail patiently—they all lead to a gripping climax to an altogether stunning story.”—Norm Bishop, director of the Wolf Recovery Foundation and co-author of Yellowstone's Northern Range: Complexity and Change in a Wildland Ecosystem “Rick McIntyre is a fabulous researcher. He dedicated his life to documenting the histories of generations of wolves in Yellowstone. I envy the hours he spent in the field talking to people about wolves and tracking the wolves movements in the most beautiful country in the world. I'm glad he is now sharing his research with the world.” —Scott Frazier, Crow - Santee, Directo
