Narrated By F. Murray AbrahamNature: The Wolf That Changed America

I originally saw this clip on the National Geographic channel, I believe it was. It is a documentary on the wolves in their habitat and doing what comes naturally to a wolf. It goes into too much detail to relate it all here, but suffice it to say, you will learn a lot about them if you know little or nothing about them. It follows the "choosing", I'll call it, of the Alpha male (A-male, the dominant male), the mating of the A-male and the A-female, it even delves into what they are or might be feeling in certain circumstances and situations. I bought this as a Christmas gift for a family member who loves wolves - he's only 3 years old, but he is learning.The following is copied (without permission) for your benefit. "In 1893, a bounty hunter named Ernest Thompson Seton journeyed to the untamed canyons of New Mexico on a mission to kill a dangerous outlaw. Feared by ranchers throughout the region, the outlaw wasn't a pistol-packing cowboy or train-robbing bandit. The outlaw was a wolf. Lobo, as locals simply called him, was the legendary leader of a band of cattle-killing wolves that had been terrorizing cattle ranchers and their livestock. It was up to Seton to exterminate this "super-wolf." The ensuing battle of wits between wolf and man would spark a real-life wilderness drama, the outcome of which would leave a lasting effect on a new and growing movement in America: wilderness preservation." It is a very wonderful documentary for adults and children alike.

As a wolf lover, the story, this TRUE story saddened me, but Ernest Thompson Seton completely turned his life around after hekilled "Blanca" and they captured and the next day "Lobo" died of a broken heart.The photography is beautiful and interspersed with Doug smith who talks about the Yellowstone wolves. It IS sad what humans have done to wolves, trapping them in cruel traps, poison them, all b/c of the cattle industry and hunting industry.Wolf are a top predator outside of the "psychopath man" and man feels like they must be "gotten rid of" bison also, passenger pigeon and so many animals extinct. But after Lobo Mr. Thompsom saw the light, even later founding the boys clubs of America. He went on to I believe spearhead the more recent Save the wolves project although, the lunatics are screaming, again...we have to fight hard to save our brothers and sisters of the animal world Wolves, Horses, prairie dogs, bison all under attack. If anything this film shows how we must speak up for them as they have no voice....so we must be it!

I loved this movie because I love wolves. ALthough towards the end their is a sad part that I was hoping for a different out come. Although their was some good that came from that result. Over all, it still is a good story on the life of wolves. I had no issues with the seller and would purchase again through this company or suggest this company to my friends as well.

I gave it as to my elder son!

I got this as a gift for my horseshoer (who loves wolves) as I had seen this on PBS a few years ago. It's a fascinating heartbreaking story, but also wonderful to hear how this hunter went on to be instrumental in establishing the national park system. Great story!

Interesting (albeit sad) history on the near-extermination of wolves. It shows that wolves are social creatures who grieve when they lose a loved one just as we do. Also gives history on a naturalist and co-founder of Boy Scouts.

Excellent documentary. I cried and cried and it even moved my students at a maximum prison for men!

A fantastic read in history, wolves and afantastic person in Ernest Seton who helpedform our national parks, Boy Scouts andinterest in our inviournment.

Ernest Thompson Seton has been a hero of mine since early childhood. His books fostered my love of nature and had some influence in my choice of career as a veterinary surgeon. I am circulating this video round my fourteen grandchildren for their inspiration, hoping that their care for the natural environment will be as cosciencious as his became as the result of this story.
