In 1995, the first gray wolves were transported from Alberta, Canada to Yellowstone National Park, to repopulate the sprawling landscape with the species, absent for more than 70 years. The following year, a second wave of wolves was brought to the park from British Columbia, Canada; five of them were released together, and they were named the Druid Peak pack. Emmy Award-winning filmmaker Bob Landis spent over three years with these remarkable creatures, creating a spectacularly dramatic and intimate record of their lives, their great battles with rival wolf packs, and the changing fortunes of the coyotes and foxes who share their home range in Yellowstone's beautiful Lamar Valley. Academy Award-winner F. Murray Abraham narrates. Your excursion to Yellowstone continues with the exhilarating bonus program, Christmas in Yellowstone, narrated by Academy Award-winner Linda Hunt.
