Never Cry Wolf

Farley Mowat · first published 1963 · ISBN 9780316881791

Mowat recounts his assignment from the Canadian government to study wolves in subarctic regions and determine their impact on caribou populations. He challenges the dominant belief that wolves are savage predators, arguing instead that they hunt primarily small mammals and actually strengthen herds by culling weaker animals. His observations ultimately shifted public perception and influenced conservation policy across North America and beyond.
