The Redemption of Wolf 302: From Renegade to Yellowstone Alpha Male

The Alpha Wolves of Yellowstone, Book 3

De: Rick McIntyre

Narrado por: Geoff Sugiyama

From the renowned wolf researcher and author of The Rise of Wolf 8 and The Reign of Wolf 21 comes a stunning account of an unconventional alpha male.

A lover, not a fighter. That was wolf 302. A renegade with an eye for the ladies, 302 was anything but Yellowstone’s perfect alpha male. For starters, he fled from danger. He begged for food from other wolves, ditched females he’d gotten pregnant, and even napped during a heated battle with a rival pack!

But this is not the story of 302’s failures. This is the story of his dramatic transformation. And legendary wolf writer Rick McIntyre witnessed it all from the sidelines.

As McIntyre closely observed with his spotting scope, wolf 302 began to mature, and, much to McIntyre’s surprise, became the leader of a new pack in his old age.

But in a year when game was scarce, could the aging wolf provide for his family? Had he changed enough to live up to the legacies of the great alpha males before him?

Recounted in McIntyre’s captivating storytelling voice and peppered with fascinating insights into wolf behavior, The Redemption of Wolf 302 is a powerful coming-of-age tale that will strike a chord with anyone who has struggled to make a change, big or small.

“With this third installment of Rick McIntyre’s magnum opus, the scope and ambition of the project becomes clear: nothing less than a grand serialization of the first twenty years of wolves in Yellowstone, a kind of lupine Great Expectations.” (Nate Blakeslee, New York Times best-selling author of American Wolf)

Wolves are great teachers

One of the most. Intriguing and interesting books, I have read on wildlife. It makes me want to go to Yellowstone National Park to see the wolves! I have also learned a lot about human behavior as well!

Uneven performance recording.

The story is great- the the recording varies greatly in consistency. I loved hearing the continuing saga of the Yellowstone wolves.

Great book.
