Title: Never Cry Wolf
Review: This narrative is a blend of humor, misconceptions, and at times ineptness as Mowat fumbles through misunderstond beliefs of wolf behavior, hunting practices, social hierarchies and parenting. Mowat is befriended by two Eskimos, one named Mike and the other Ootek. It is with his relationship with Ootek that helps Mowat understand the wolf. Through his conversations and with first hand observations Mowat is able to conclude, that the wolf is anything but a carnivore that kills indiscriminately. The wolf has a higher social order; has a distinctive language and is a caring parent. I would recommend this book, it is light reading, it is humorous, it expresses ones coming of age as a young biologist, thrusted into the wilds of the Canadian frontier, learns life's lessons of what is perceive is not necessarily true.The wolf is one with its environment and it is man that is the plague of mother nature.
