There is no such thing as an alpha wolf. The term came from a study of strangers forced together in a zoo enclosure, and the scientist who coined it spent thirty years trying to take it back. In the wild, the wolves we call alphas are simply the parents.

A wolf pack is a family. Parents, pups, and grown offspring who hunt together, raise the young together, and hold a territory that stores decades of knowledge about where the prey moves and how the land works.

Wolves Decoded follows that family into the open: the patient hunt that reads a herd and picks its target, the howl that carries sixteen kilometres across snow, the lone wolf that walks a thousand miles to start a pack of its own, and the long war that nearly wiped the species from the map.

Then comes the part nobody predicted. When fourteen wolves returned to Yellowstone, the rivers changed. Elk stopped lingering on the banks. Willows grew tall. Beavers came back, and the water ran clearer and colder. The wolves had reorganised fear across an entire valley, and the whole ecosystem reshaped itself around it.

That is the discovery at the heart of this book. A wolf is the thread that holds a landscape together. Pull it, and everything unravels.
