0:00:02 > 0:00:06The wolf. A highly intelligent predator.

0:00:07 > 0:00:09With a bad reputation.

0:00:12 > 0:00:15To many, they are cunning and ruthless killers.

0:00:17 > 0:00:19But I want to find out if there's another side

0:00:19 > 0:00:21to this feared carnivore.

0:00:22 > 0:00:25I've always had a fascination with wolves ever since I was a kid.

0:00:25 > 0:00:29They symbolise the wild like no other animal.

0:00:30 > 0:00:32My name is Gordon Buchanan.

0:00:32 > 0:00:33I'm a wildlife cameraman.

0:00:35 > 0:00:38I'm travelling to the Arctic to get closer to wild wolves

0:00:38 > 0:00:41than anyone has ever been before.

0:00:43 > 0:00:46I want to actually understand the true nature of the wolf,

0:00:46 > 0:00:48separate fact from fiction.

0:00:50 > 0:00:52I'll be dropped deep into wolf territory.

0:00:52 > 0:00:55These are animals that have killed people

0:00:55 > 0:00:58and I've got two of them just five metres away.

0:00:59 > 0:01:01I'm putting my life on the line...

0:01:02 > 0:01:04Is this too close? Is this too close?

0:01:04 > 0:01:07Jesus wept...! Oh, my God.

0:01:09 > 0:01:12..to get an unprecedented view of wolf family life.

0:01:13 > 0:01:15Come on, pups, out you come.

0:01:16 > 0:01:19I'll meet the characters in a pack.

0:01:21 > 0:01:23Scruffy!

0:01:23 > 0:01:25You little swine!

0:01:25 > 0:01:30And discover if the big, bad wolf is as dangerous as we imagine.

0:01:31 > 0:01:32Don't even think about it.

0:01:46 > 0:01:50To get inside a wolf pack I'm travelling to a wilderness

0:01:50 > 0:01:54so remote that the wolves here have never seen people.

0:01:56 > 0:01:59It's taken me four days to reach Ellesmere Island

0:01:59 > 0:02:01in the Canadian Arctic.

0:02:04 > 0:02:05Near the North Pole,

0:02:05 > 0:02:09it's home to the most isolated wolves in the world.

0:02:13 > 0:02:16I'm here to try to follow a family of wolves

0:02:16 > 0:02:19during the most important three months of their lives.

0:02:24 > 0:02:26From spring, when they have pups...

0:02:28 > 0:02:31..until the return of the brutal Arctic winter.

0:02:40 > 0:02:46Two years ago a biologist flew over and spotted a pack in this area.

0:02:46 > 0:02:48I've come to see if they're still here.

0:02:52 > 0:02:53Oh, look! Look, look!

0:02:53 > 0:02:56Wow! One, two, three, four, five, six.

0:02:57 > 0:02:58Wow! Look at that!

0:03:01 > 0:03:02How incredible!

0:03:05 > 0:03:07Great. Just staring up at me.

0:03:13 > 0:03:14Yes!

0:03:16 > 0:03:17Brilliant.

0:03:19 > 0:03:22This is the first of two trips I'll be making to the Arctic.

0:03:24 > 0:03:27I've brought supplies to keep me going for three weeks.

0:03:37 > 0:03:39Well, now that I've found the wolves,

0:03:39 > 0:03:42I'm...I'm going to stay here

0:03:42 > 0:03:44and I'm going to set up camp right over here.

0:03:50 > 0:03:53The Arctic wolves here have never seen people.

0:03:54 > 0:03:56I have no idea how they'll react.

0:03:58 > 0:04:00They might think I'm their next meal.

0:04:11 > 0:04:15Oh, my goodness me, that is sensational.

0:04:17 > 0:04:18I do not believe it.

0:04:19 > 0:04:20He's stopping.

0:04:23 > 0:04:27This is the closest I've ever been to a wild wolf.

0:04:32 > 0:04:34I feel incredibly vulnerable.

0:04:34 > 0:04:38Wolves take down animals five times my size.

0:04:47 > 0:04:50It is an unbelievable start to this.

0:04:52 > 0:04:55My heart is still racing when the wolf leaves.

0:05:00 > 0:05:03It's amazing to see wolves that close,

0:05:03 > 0:05:06but mixed with that is a little bit of apprehension.

0:05:06 > 0:05:09But the truth is, I'm not alone here.

0:05:09 > 0:05:12I have a director and a soundman.

0:05:12 > 0:05:16If I was alone, I think it would be a very different experience.

0:05:17 > 0:05:21Wolves are at their most dangerous when they lose their fear of people

0:05:21 > 0:05:25and it seems that these wolves don't have any fear to begin with.

0:05:33 > 0:05:35The wolves here are the top predator.

0:05:38 > 0:05:41They live in one of the most extreme places on earth.

0:05:44 > 0:05:49In winter, temperatures plummet to minus 50 degrees.

0:05:51 > 0:05:56The sun sets in October and doesn't rise again for four months.

0:05:59 > 0:06:00The climate is so harsh

0:06:00 > 0:06:03that no people live on this part of the island.

0:06:05 > 0:06:08These wolves have never been hunted.

0:06:10 > 0:06:15That makes them bold but it could also make them very dangerous.

0:06:22 > 0:06:25The fact is wolves have attacked, killed

0:06:25 > 0:06:27and injured people in the past.

0:06:28 > 0:06:32In 2000, here in Canada, there was someone camping in the wild

0:06:32 > 0:06:35and they were pulled from their tent in their sleeping bag

0:06:35 > 0:06:37and set upon by wolves.

0:06:37 > 0:06:39He was only really saved by the fact that he was with people.

0:06:39 > 0:06:41Had he been alone,

0:06:41 > 0:06:44he would have almost certainly been killed by those wolves.

0:06:45 > 0:06:48That's why I'm putting up an electric fence.

0:06:49 > 0:06:51I'm camping alone

0:06:51 > 0:06:54to increase my chances of getting close to the pack.

0:06:54 > 0:06:57The camera crew is based half a mile away,

0:06:57 > 0:06:59so won't be much help if I run into trouble.

0:07:01 > 0:07:03So, in theory, it's working now.

0:07:04 > 0:07:09I hate to do it, but I think I'm going to test it just...

0:07:09 > 0:07:10just to make sure.

0:07:11 > 0:07:14Am I? Oh, God, I don't want to do that.

0:07:14 > 0:07:15It must be working.

0:07:16 > 0:07:18Oh, bugger it.

0:07:18 > 0:07:19Ay-yayaya! It's working!

0:07:23 > 0:07:24That's... Oh!

0:07:24 > 0:07:26Yeah, that's working as well.

0:07:29 > 0:07:32The pack are watching me from the other side of the valley.

0:07:32 > 0:07:34But I don't know how long they'll be here.

0:07:36 > 0:07:39Wolves stay in one place when they have a den with pups.

0:07:41 > 0:07:45I'm hoping that's what this pack is doing.

0:07:45 > 0:07:48My tent's in a perfect position for a stakeout.

0:07:50 > 0:07:51Hey...

0:07:51 > 0:07:52This is, er...

0:07:53 > 0:07:55..my house, my home.

0:07:55 > 0:07:57This is where I'll be sleeping.

0:07:57 > 0:08:02Erm...and I have the most unbelievable view.

0:08:05 > 0:08:10Literally, the first thing I'll see when I open my tent in the morning

0:08:10 > 0:08:12is erm...the hillside where the wolves are.

0:08:15 > 0:08:16But what a place.

0:08:16 > 0:08:19What a... What a campsite.

0:08:21 > 0:08:22It really is brilliant.

0:08:27 > 0:08:31While they're here, I can observe them 24 hours a day.

0:08:33 > 0:08:35At this time of year, the sun never sets.

0:08:38 > 0:08:39It's spring.

0:08:39 > 0:08:43A time when this barren land is bursting with new life.

0:08:48 > 0:08:52Young arctic hare and baby foxes are everywhere.

0:08:55 > 0:08:57But there's also a creature from the ice age

0:08:57 > 0:09:00that I hope doesn't come too close.

0:09:01 > 0:09:05Muskox are one of the Arctic's most powerful animals.

0:09:06 > 0:09:08They look like something from Star Wars.

0:09:11 > 0:09:13And they're notoriously bad-tempered.

0:09:30 > 0:09:32It's unsettling camping here

0:09:32 > 0:09:35and the constant daylight makes it difficult to rest.

0:09:37 > 0:09:39It's hard to sleep when the sun is shining.

0:09:41 > 0:09:43Everything's telling you that you shouldn't be in bed

0:09:43 > 0:09:46but it's 2.15 in the morning.

0:09:48 > 0:09:52So the best thing to do is try and make things as dark as possible.

0:09:55 > 0:09:56These help.

0:10:06 > 0:10:09Today, I want to find out if the pack have a den.

0:10:10 > 0:10:14My plan is to track their movements for as long as I can stay awake.

0:10:16 > 0:10:19But the wolves have other ideas.

0:10:20 > 0:10:21Oh, my word...

0:10:24 > 0:10:26The wolf that approached me yesterday is back.

0:10:27 > 0:10:29And this time, it's not alone.

0:10:34 > 0:10:37Both of the wolves are about 40 metres away from me.

0:10:37 > 0:10:39My heart is racing.

0:10:40 > 0:10:42Wolves might approach for two reasons,

0:10:42 > 0:10:44to see if I'm a threat

0:10:44 > 0:10:46or to find out if I'm worth eating.

0:10:49 > 0:10:51Oh, jeez! They are right in front of me.

0:10:52 > 0:10:53My God...!

0:10:54 > 0:10:55Oh, my God.

0:11:00 > 0:11:01Hey, wolf....

0:11:01 > 0:11:03I'm just going to turn this round.

0:11:08 > 0:11:12I tell you what, this is quite unnerving.

0:11:13 > 0:11:15I'm being circled by wolves

0:11:15 > 0:11:17and I'm not sure if I like it.

0:11:27 > 0:11:29Being this close to a wolf,

0:11:29 > 0:11:30I'm just reminded that...

0:11:32 > 0:11:35..these are animals that have injured people.

0:11:37 > 0:11:39These are animals that have killed people

0:11:39 > 0:11:41and I've got two of them...

0:11:43 > 0:11:44..five metres away.

0:11:51 > 0:11:53She's coming right up to my little fence.

0:11:54 > 0:11:55Oh, my word...!

0:11:55 > 0:11:57Look at those eyes!

0:11:58 > 0:12:00All the better to see you with.

0:12:00 > 0:12:02She is just stunning.

0:12:08 > 0:12:11I definitely feel safer when they back off a bit.

0:12:15 > 0:12:17My goodness.

0:12:18 > 0:12:22I don't think I've seen such a beautiful animal in my life.

0:12:29 > 0:12:32I never imagined that wolves would get this close.

0:12:33 > 0:12:35It's a perfect chance to try and work out who's who.

0:12:38 > 0:12:39It really is amazing.

0:12:39 > 0:12:40There's so few places in the world

0:12:40 > 0:12:44that you can get this close to an animal of this size.

0:12:45 > 0:12:48And the closer these wolves come, you start to see differences.

0:12:49 > 0:12:51It looks like these are two females.

0:12:51 > 0:12:53They're both full-size.

0:12:54 > 0:12:57This wolf is much more mature-looking.

0:12:57 > 0:12:58You can see it in her face.

0:12:58 > 0:12:59She's older, definitely.

0:12:59 > 0:13:01Marginally bigger.

0:13:01 > 0:13:04A lot more hair around her face,

0:13:04 > 0:13:05like a lion's mane almost.

0:13:07 > 0:13:08But look at this. This is...

0:13:10 > 0:13:12This could be major news.

0:13:13 > 0:13:15On her belly, towards the back end,

0:13:15 > 0:13:16it's bare.

0:13:16 > 0:13:18You can almost see the nipples.

0:13:19 > 0:13:22And what that means and what that tells me

0:13:22 > 0:13:26is that this is a breeding female

0:13:26 > 0:13:28and the great hope is that, before too long,

0:13:28 > 0:13:31I'm going to get a look at these pups.

0:13:32 > 0:13:34This is a huge relief.

0:13:34 > 0:13:37Pups mean that this pack will stay in one place.

0:13:39 > 0:13:42Now I need to find their den.

0:13:44 > 0:13:46This new mum is pale, like the moon,

0:13:46 > 0:13:48so I've named her Luna.

0:13:56 > 0:13:59This is the only time of year wolves can raise young.

0:13:59 > 0:14:01But they don't have long.

0:14:03 > 0:14:06Here in the High Arctic, spring and summer only last three months.

0:14:08 > 0:14:12It's a brief respite from freezing temperatures.

0:14:12 > 0:14:14But conditions remain tough

0:14:14 > 0:14:17and some years wolves don't breed at all.

0:14:22 > 0:14:26I'm hoping this pack has a den with pups on the opposite hillside.

0:14:27 > 0:14:30I spend hours trying to find it.

0:14:32 > 0:14:36Eventually, my perseverance pays off.

0:14:37 > 0:14:38Look...

0:14:38 > 0:14:39That has to be a den!

0:14:49 > 0:14:51This den is an amazing find

0:14:51 > 0:14:55because it is the only way to keep track of these wolves,

0:14:55 > 0:14:58to get them at a time of year that they can't move around freely,

0:14:58 > 0:15:01and that's when they're denning, that's when they've got pups.

0:15:02 > 0:15:06And I can't help but imagine what's going on underground.

0:15:07 > 0:15:09You know, there has to be pups in there.

0:15:11 > 0:15:12The question is, how many?

0:15:14 > 0:15:17If I'm going to work my way inside a wolf family,

0:15:17 > 0:15:20then gaining the trust of Luna will be key.

0:15:37 > 0:15:39Camping next to a wild wolf pack is incredible.

0:15:39 > 0:15:41HOWLING

0:15:41 > 0:15:44But I do wish they weren't such noisy neighbours.

0:15:44 > 0:15:45HOWLING CONTINUES

0:15:48 > 0:15:49GORDON YAWNS

0:15:50 > 0:15:51Goodness me!

0:15:51 > 0:15:52Lord...

0:15:52 > 0:15:55It makes it very difficult to sleep sometimes.

0:15:56 > 0:15:57GORDON YAWNS, THE WOLVES HOWL

0:15:57 > 0:15:58Oh, it's very wearing.

0:15:59 > 0:16:01But I can't complain because...

0:16:02 > 0:16:03..I get to wake up to...

0:16:05 > 0:16:07..wolves howling.

0:16:09 > 0:16:11This is the best way to wake up.

0:16:11 > 0:16:12Ever.

0:16:12 > 0:16:13HOWLING CONTINUES

0:16:14 > 0:16:17Wolves communicate by howling.

0:16:17 > 0:16:20Every pack member has a distinct voice.

0:16:20 > 0:16:22HOWLING

0:16:24 > 0:16:26HOWLS

0:16:26 > 0:16:28This morning, the biggest wolf I've seen so far

0:16:28 > 0:16:30is rallying the pack to go hunting.

0:16:30 > 0:16:33HOWLS

0:16:34 > 0:16:36This big male must be the head of the family.

0:16:37 > 0:16:39I'm going to call him Romulus.

0:16:40 > 0:16:42HOWLS

0:16:43 > 0:16:46Wolf packs are like human families.

0:16:47 > 0:16:50Romulus and Luna are mum and dad.

0:16:52 > 0:16:54All the other wolves are probably their offspring

0:16:54 > 0:16:56from different years.

0:16:57 > 0:16:58Hang on, let me just count them...

0:16:59 > 0:17:02We've got one, two at the front.

0:17:02 > 0:17:04Three, four,

0:17:04 > 0:17:05five, six.

0:17:07 > 0:17:12All six of them galloping and trotting along the skyline there.

0:17:15 > 0:17:18And my guess is

0:17:18 > 0:17:19the two at the back

0:17:19 > 0:17:23are possibly last year's pups, they're yearlings.

0:17:24 > 0:17:25A little bit smaller.

0:17:26 > 0:17:28And they're a lot more playful.

0:17:38 > 0:17:41Arctic wolves hunt for food in a territory

0:17:41 > 0:17:44which can cover over 1,000 square miles.

0:17:47 > 0:17:50In spring, there are lots of young animals.

0:17:58 > 0:18:02But here, there's no such thing as an easy meal,

0:18:02 > 0:18:04even if you are a big, bad wolf.

0:18:15 > 0:18:18And if the wolves go anywhere near a skua's nest,

0:18:18 > 0:18:20they're dive-bombed until they move on.

0:18:33 > 0:18:35The pack can spend days hunting,

0:18:35 > 0:18:38but Luna usually returns within an hour to watch over the den.

0:18:43 > 0:18:47This is a great opportunity to see if I can start to win her trust,

0:18:47 > 0:18:49so I move in closer.

0:18:56 > 0:18:58GORDON WHINES

0:18:59 > 0:19:01WHINING

0:19:04 > 0:19:05WHINING

0:19:05 > 0:19:09By making whining noises and avoiding eye contact,

0:19:09 > 0:19:12I act submissively, to try and put her at ease.

0:19:13 > 0:19:14WHINES

0:19:18 > 0:19:20WHINES

0:19:22 > 0:19:23WHINES

0:19:24 > 0:19:25WHINES

0:19:27 > 0:19:29She seems nervous.

0:19:29 > 0:19:32So I make myself smaller and less threatening.

0:19:33 > 0:19:35WHINES

0:19:37 > 0:19:38WHINES

0:19:39 > 0:19:41WHINES

0:20:07 > 0:20:09I try something a little different to draw her in.

0:20:22 > 0:20:24It's clear that me getting close to the wolves

0:20:24 > 0:20:27is completely on their terms.

0:20:27 > 0:20:29I just tried to get closer to Luna there

0:20:29 > 0:20:30and she moved away,

0:20:30 > 0:20:33kept a distance of about 60 metres.

0:20:33 > 0:20:35Didn't let me close that distance.

0:20:35 > 0:20:36So, it's not that she's fearful,

0:20:36 > 0:20:39it's just that she's the boss.

0:20:39 > 0:20:42She dictates what happens and when.

0:20:45 > 0:20:49I think the best thing I can do now is leave Luna alone for a few days.

0:20:50 > 0:20:52That way, she can get used to me being around.

0:20:59 > 0:21:00It's been a week

0:21:00 > 0:21:03and I'm starting to get a sense of the pack's routine.

0:21:06 > 0:21:09Romulus leads the family out on hunts twice a day.

0:21:10 > 0:21:13Sometimes, they don't have to go that far.

0:21:14 > 0:21:17Arctic hares are approaching the den.

0:21:18 > 0:21:21Their young live in groups of up to 200,

0:21:21 > 0:21:24making them irresistible to hungry wolves.

0:21:40 > 0:21:43The youngest wolves of the pack are faster and more agile

0:21:43 > 0:21:45than the older wolves.

0:21:51 > 0:21:54But arctic hares are built for speed.

0:21:57 > 0:22:00Accelerating up to 40 miles per hour.

0:22:05 > 0:22:07The hares often outpace the wolves.

0:22:15 > 0:22:18The two yearlings are the pack's troublesome teens

0:22:18 > 0:22:21and now they're taking an interest in me.

0:22:21 > 0:22:24I do wonder what they think when they see me standing here.

0:22:24 > 0:22:26Because they certainly don't see me as a threat.

0:22:31 > 0:22:33And I wonder, I really do...

0:22:34 > 0:22:36..if they don't see me as a threat...

0:22:38 > 0:22:41..whether they see me as a potential source of food.

0:22:45 > 0:22:47I shouldn't be surprised

0:22:47 > 0:22:49that one of the most intelligent animals on the planet...

0:22:52 > 0:22:55..has found a way of dismantling my fence,

0:22:55 > 0:22:57without getting shocked.

0:22:58 > 0:23:02If they get into my food supplies, I'll be in big trouble.

0:23:11 > 0:23:14Apart from the yearlings, no other wolf will come near.

0:23:15 > 0:23:19To get to know the shyer members of the pack, I put out remote cameras.

0:23:21 > 0:23:24But the youngest wolves strike again.

0:23:25 > 0:23:26OK, here comes a wolf.

0:23:26 > 0:23:28It's one of the yearlings.

0:23:29 > 0:23:31Straight up to the camera trap.

0:23:34 > 0:23:38Everything that wolves find, they test with their teeth.

0:23:38 > 0:23:40They don't use their paws to feel things out.

0:23:40 > 0:23:42The most sensitive part of their body

0:23:42 > 0:23:45are their lips, their mouths, their nose.

0:23:47 > 0:23:51Every camera I put out becomes a new chew toy

0:23:51 > 0:23:53for the pack's two teenagers.

0:23:54 > 0:23:58Yearlings appear a little bit darker than every other wolf.

0:24:00 > 0:24:04These wolves don't start off white, they're born brown or grey.

0:24:04 > 0:24:07And as they grow older, they become whiter and whiter.

0:24:08 > 0:24:11At least I can now identify one yearling from the other.

0:24:11 > 0:24:13This one I'm calling Scruffy.

0:24:13 > 0:24:15He's bigger and darker.

0:24:16 > 0:24:19You can see how big he is.

0:24:19 > 0:24:21You'd never think that he was just a year old.

0:24:28 > 0:24:31Scruffy seems to be enjoying the use of my cameras.

0:24:48 > 0:24:50The next morning,

0:24:50 > 0:24:53it's looks like Scruffy has developed a taste for my kit.

0:24:54 > 0:24:57Keep away from my stuff, Scruffy.

0:24:59 > 0:25:00Scruffy...!

0:25:04 > 0:25:07He decides he likes my camping stool.

0:25:10 > 0:25:12You little swine!

0:25:13 > 0:25:14Scruffy...

0:25:15 > 0:25:16Scruffy...

0:25:16 > 0:25:20Absolutely no respect whatsoever for people's private property.

0:25:22 > 0:25:24This is bad news.

0:25:24 > 0:25:26If Scruffy thinks my stuff is up for grabs,

0:25:26 > 0:25:28he could destroy my camp.

0:25:28 > 0:25:31GORDON CHUFFS

0:25:33 > 0:25:34CHUFFS

0:25:34 > 0:25:37I try my best howl to get him to drop it.

0:25:37 > 0:25:41HOWLS

0:25:44 > 0:25:49HOWLS

0:25:50 > 0:25:53I sit down in the hope I can draw him away from the stool.

0:25:53 > 0:25:57HOWLS

0:25:59 > 0:26:04HOWLS

0:26:07 > 0:26:13HOWLS

0:26:16 > 0:26:18HOWLS

0:26:23 > 0:26:24He's coming straight towards me.

0:26:27 > 0:26:31Yeah, being fixed in that stare is not the most comfortable of things.

0:26:31 > 0:26:32Heavens above...!

0:26:33 > 0:26:34Is this too close?

0:26:34 > 0:26:36Is this too close?

0:26:37 > 0:26:39Jesus wept... Oh, my God!

0:26:40 > 0:26:42That is unnerving.

0:26:43 > 0:26:44Hey, Scruff.

0:26:45 > 0:26:47You go from...

0:26:49 > 0:26:53..being comfortable to being decidedly uncomfortable.

0:26:54 > 0:26:56You are enormous. You might only be one year old...

0:26:58 > 0:26:59..but you're a big old wolf.

0:27:01 > 0:27:03Hey, fella, did you like my howling?

0:27:05 > 0:27:06Gee whiz, you are beautiful.

0:27:08 > 0:27:11GORDON HOWLS

0:27:12 > 0:27:13You like that, don't you?

0:27:14 > 0:27:16You can tell he's nervous.

0:27:17 > 0:27:20But I don't know if he's as nervous as I am.

0:27:22 > 0:27:25I suppose that's what I came here for, to get close to these animals,

0:27:25 > 0:27:27but being this close...

0:27:29 > 0:27:30..worries me.

0:27:32 > 0:27:37Because, as much as I think I understand these animals...

0:27:38 > 0:27:41..you can't always read them.

0:27:41 > 0:27:43I don't always know what's on their mind.

0:27:45 > 0:27:48Eventually, Scruffy gets bored of me

0:27:48 > 0:27:49and the stool.

0:27:50 > 0:27:51Not bad.

0:27:53 > 0:27:54Not too bad at all.

0:27:56 > 0:27:57Oh...

0:27:58 > 0:27:59Still works.

0:28:01 > 0:28:02Thanks, Scruffy.

0:28:04 > 0:28:07I'm gradually overcoming my fear of these wolves.

0:28:10 > 0:28:13Now I've survived this encounter with Scruffy,

0:28:13 > 0:28:16I want to see if I can get closer to Luna.

0:28:28 > 0:28:32It's been a couple of days since I last tried to get near Luna

0:28:32 > 0:28:34and I think it's time to give it another go.

0:28:37 > 0:28:39I came here to see another side to wolves.

0:28:39 > 0:28:42That means seeing them raise pups

0:28:42 > 0:28:45and it all rests on Luna trusting me.

0:28:51 > 0:28:53Luna is at the den.

0:28:54 > 0:28:56Just glancing round at me.

0:28:58 > 0:29:01You know, I'm not worried about those looks.

0:29:02 > 0:29:05She's just checking that I'm still here.

0:29:06 > 0:29:07Glances around again.

0:29:07 > 0:29:09She's obviously aware of me.

0:29:16 > 0:29:17Oh, look!

0:29:17 > 0:29:19I can see a pup! I can see a pup!

0:29:25 > 0:29:26It is!

0:29:26 > 0:29:28A tiny little head popping up.

0:29:36 > 0:29:37Wow...!

0:29:38 > 0:29:39I...

0:29:39 > 0:29:42I don't know, I was expecting them to be white,

0:29:42 > 0:29:43but there's a little brown head.

0:29:46 > 0:29:49The briefest glimpse of a wolf pup.

0:29:53 > 0:29:54Oh, magic!

0:29:56 > 0:29:58That's amazing. It really is.

0:29:59 > 0:30:01I am so delighted.

0:30:04 > 0:30:06Wolves can have up to ten pups in a litter.

0:30:07 > 0:30:10I'm desperate to find out if there are more

0:30:10 > 0:30:11hidden in the den.

0:30:11 > 0:30:15But before I can move closer, the whole pack returns from a hunt.

0:30:18 > 0:30:22It's way too soon for me to approach with all of them around.

0:30:22 > 0:30:25So, I'm going to try the next best thing.

0:30:28 > 0:30:29BEEPING

0:30:29 > 0:30:30We have power.

0:30:30 > 0:30:33This has never been used before with wolves.

0:30:34 > 0:30:37In fact this has never been used before with any animal.

0:30:37 > 0:30:39It's very much a prototype.

0:30:39 > 0:30:43But it's a rock crawler that can handle this rugged terrain

0:30:43 > 0:30:46and it's fitted with two little HD cameras

0:30:46 > 0:30:48that I'm hoping to drive up the slope

0:30:48 > 0:30:50and get a good look at the den.

0:30:50 > 0:30:51Two potential problems,

0:30:51 > 0:30:53the terrain is really difficult

0:30:53 > 0:30:55but the real danger is that

0:30:55 > 0:30:59the wolves don't take too kindly to this and rip it to pieces.

0:31:00 > 0:31:04It's designed to handle the terrain but not a pack of six wolves.

0:31:05 > 0:31:06We'll see...

0:31:16 > 0:31:18OK, I see a wolf.

0:31:22 > 0:31:25I'm a bit concerned

0:31:25 > 0:31:27about the interest the wolves are showing.

0:31:45 > 0:31:47OK, there's a bit of difficult manoeuvring.

0:31:47 > 0:31:49Let me see if I can nudge it forward...

0:31:51 > 0:31:52Oh, dear...

0:31:58 > 0:32:00It's all part of a learning process.

0:32:00 > 0:32:03And I've learnt that there's part of the den up there on the right.

0:32:04 > 0:32:07It's the bit with the buggy sticking out of it.

0:32:10 > 0:32:13I might still get a view inside the den.

0:32:15 > 0:32:16I've found a hole.

0:32:17 > 0:32:22After a lot of manoeuvring, I get the picture I was hoping for.

0:32:25 > 0:32:27Oh, I can see a pup! I can see a pup!

0:32:29 > 0:32:32Amazingly, looking straight into the camera.

0:32:33 > 0:32:35Theses wolves are incredible.

0:32:36 > 0:32:38They have never seen this kind of thing before

0:32:38 > 0:32:40and they don't scurry back into the den.

0:32:44 > 0:32:45Oh, my word...!

0:32:45 > 0:32:48That is just glorious!

0:32:50 > 0:32:52Oh, you beauty! Two pups!

0:32:52 > 0:32:54Oh, wow!

0:32:54 > 0:32:55They are just adorable!

0:32:58 > 0:33:01These pups were born deaf and blind.

0:33:01 > 0:33:04But now their senses are developing

0:33:04 > 0:33:06and they're starting to explore the world around them.

0:33:10 > 0:33:12I might get the pups to come and investigate it.

0:33:12 > 0:33:14They're looking at it.

0:33:16 > 0:33:19They're about four weeks old

0:33:19 > 0:33:21and their first teeth are coming through.

0:33:32 > 0:33:34These wolves are unbelievable. They really are.

0:33:38 > 0:33:39Three pups!

0:33:40 > 0:33:42Gee whiz!

0:33:42 > 0:33:44I do not believe it!

0:33:50 > 0:33:51Wow!

0:33:51 > 0:33:53I feel as if I'm right in there.

0:33:54 > 0:33:57That I am actually a member of the pack.

0:33:59 > 0:34:01It's great! I'm loving this.

0:34:10 > 0:34:13If I can follow these pups as they grow up,

0:34:13 > 0:34:17I'll get a unique insight into wolf family life.

0:34:35 > 0:34:38I think all the wolves are beginning to trust me more.

0:34:54 > 0:34:57The pups are spending more and more time above ground.

0:35:01 > 0:35:03And they're feeding regularly.

0:35:06 > 0:35:10By my count, Luna is suckling them over five times a day.

0:35:13 > 0:35:18No-one has ever been this close to a wild wolf pack before

0:35:18 > 0:35:19and there are signs

0:35:19 > 0:35:23that they're starting to see me as one of the family.

0:35:23 > 0:35:26I think a wolf has peed on my binoculars!

0:35:29 > 0:35:31I left them here

0:35:31 > 0:35:32and I saw a wolf come down,

0:35:32 > 0:35:34but I was up that way and...

0:35:35 > 0:35:36- SNIFFS - Yep.

0:35:36 > 0:35:39That's... That's wolf urine.

0:35:39 > 0:35:40SNIFFS

0:35:40 > 0:35:42It's very pungent.

0:35:42 > 0:35:44SNIFFS

0:35:44 > 0:35:45They wouldn't get up that high.

0:35:48 > 0:35:51It's all smelling a little bit wolfy round about here!

0:35:52 > 0:35:53That's a good thing.

0:35:53 > 0:35:57Scent marking, that's erm...that's a territorial thing.

0:35:57 > 0:35:59So, maybe they're not marking their territory,

0:35:59 > 0:36:01but they're accepting me as part of their group,

0:36:01 > 0:36:03that I now belong to them.

0:36:11 > 0:36:15I've tried to film wolves many times before

0:36:15 > 0:36:17but I've never got this close.

0:36:20 > 0:36:22In other parts of the world, it wouldn't be possible.

0:36:24 > 0:36:28Wolves often live in dense forests where you just can't see them.

0:36:31 > 0:36:34But here, I'm in an unprecedented position

0:36:34 > 0:36:36to watch everything they do.

0:36:38 > 0:36:41And I'm already surprised by what I'm learning.

0:36:45 > 0:36:48This pack works hard for one reason,

0:36:48 > 0:36:50to support Luna

0:36:50 > 0:36:51and the pups.

0:36:53 > 0:36:55She can't leave the den for long,

0:36:55 > 0:36:57so they bring food to her.

0:37:00 > 0:37:02EXCITED WHINING

0:37:03 > 0:37:05Only Luna can feed the pups,

0:37:05 > 0:37:08so it's crucial she is kept well-fed.

0:37:10 > 0:37:12Poor Luna's looking a little bit

0:37:12 > 0:37:15threadbare at the moment.

0:37:18 > 0:37:21Having pups takes its toll.

0:37:23 > 0:37:28You can't look your best when you've got little ones to be looked after.

0:37:31 > 0:37:32Even though Luna's hungry,

0:37:32 > 0:37:34the pups come first.

0:37:35 > 0:37:37She's now weaning them onto solid food.

0:37:40 > 0:37:43Amazingly, I see her make them work for their dinner.

0:37:45 > 0:37:49This is the first important step in teaching them how to hunt.

0:37:52 > 0:37:55But it's not just Luna that raises the pups.

0:38:02 > 0:38:05The whole pack is working together

0:38:05 > 0:38:08to make sure that these pups survive.

0:38:11 > 0:38:16There is some kind of sense of moral responsibility within these animals.

0:38:17 > 0:38:18There has to be.

0:38:21 > 0:38:24You can't give up food that you have caught

0:38:24 > 0:38:26and give it to another wolf

0:38:26 > 0:38:29without there being a moral justification.

0:38:31 > 0:38:32It won't be morality like us, but...

0:38:34 > 0:38:36..it'll be a kind of wolfish morality.

0:38:40 > 0:38:42Work for the good of the pack.

0:38:42 > 0:38:44Strength is in the pack.

0:38:45 > 0:38:47If you look after the pack,

0:38:47 > 0:38:49the pack will look after you.

0:38:51 > 0:38:53Those are the wolf rules.

0:38:55 > 0:38:57I thought there'd be more fighting in a wolf pack.

0:38:58 > 0:39:01But they feel more like a loving family.

0:39:02 > 0:39:05As if to prove their devotion to each other,

0:39:05 > 0:39:07they howl together several times a day.

0:39:08 > 0:39:10And the pups are learning to join in.

0:39:10 > 0:39:13LOUD HOWLING

0:39:35 > 0:39:38A DISTANT HOWL

0:39:38 > 0:39:39In this open landscape,

0:39:39 > 0:39:42howls can be heard over ten miles away.

0:39:43 > 0:39:45It's how the family keep in touch.

0:39:48 > 0:39:51In another month, the pups will leave the den

0:39:51 > 0:39:52and travel with the adults.

0:39:52 > 0:39:54HOWLING

0:39:54 > 0:39:57If they get split up,

0:39:57 > 0:39:58howling is one of the only ways

0:39:58 > 0:40:00they'll be able to get back together.

0:40:03 > 0:40:06HOWLING

0:40:11 > 0:40:14It's the end of my second week here

0:40:14 > 0:40:16and the pack's routine is changing.

0:40:20 > 0:40:24They need to prepare the pups for the impending Arctic winter

0:40:24 > 0:40:25and that means one thing...

0:40:26 > 0:40:27Food.

0:40:29 > 0:40:33Romulus is leading the other four adults on hunts more frequently.

0:40:37 > 0:40:40There's a real pressure on the wolves to keep these pups eating.

0:40:43 > 0:40:45For them to survive the winter,

0:40:45 > 0:40:48they need to put on as much weight as possible.

0:40:58 > 0:41:01I'm spending a lot of time near the den

0:41:01 > 0:41:03and I'm starting to figure out

0:41:03 > 0:41:06how to make them more comfortable around me.

0:41:21 > 0:41:23Ignoring her is the best bet.

0:41:24 > 0:41:28It just seems to be that when you act naturally,

0:41:28 > 0:41:31like drinking water out of a stream like a wolf,

0:41:31 > 0:41:33they come much closer.

0:41:34 > 0:41:39Part of the learning process is that staring at them,

0:41:39 > 0:41:40constantly looking at them,

0:41:40 > 0:41:42doesn't seem to work.

0:41:44 > 0:41:46Ignoring them does.

0:41:49 > 0:41:53Today, the rest of the pack has been out hunting for six hours

0:41:53 > 0:41:55and there's no sign of their return.

0:41:58 > 0:42:01The pups are getting really hungry.

0:42:02 > 0:42:05So, she has to resort to emergency supplies.

0:42:07 > 0:42:10What wolves will do is, once they've made a kill,

0:42:10 > 0:42:14if it's something that's big and they can't eat it all in one go,

0:42:14 > 0:42:18they'll leave these little food parcels all round their territory.

0:42:20 > 0:42:24And that's something they can return to and they can feed on

0:42:24 > 0:42:27when they haven't had any luck catching something.

0:42:28 > 0:42:30But I can imagine,

0:42:30 > 0:42:33if you're leaving hundreds and hundreds of little food parcels

0:42:33 > 0:42:34all around your territory,

0:42:34 > 0:42:36an area that is vast,

0:42:36 > 0:42:40you can't possibly remember where every single one of them is.

0:42:41 > 0:42:44So it's a bit like, erm...hunting through your house

0:42:44 > 0:42:45looking for your car keys.

0:42:45 > 0:42:47You know they're there somewhere

0:42:47 > 0:42:49but it might take a little while to locate them.

0:42:51 > 0:42:54The food caches around the den have been eaten.

0:42:55 > 0:42:58But there will be food buried further afield.

0:43:01 > 0:43:03It's a chance for me to approach the pups.

0:43:04 > 0:43:08An opportunity to see wolf development like never before.

0:43:30 > 0:43:35I cannot believe that I am this close to wolf pups at a den.

0:43:37 > 0:43:40It is beyond my wildest dreams.

0:43:44 > 0:43:46At this distance,

0:43:46 > 0:43:49you can really get a good view of these pups.

0:44:00 > 0:44:04It seems that the smallest pup is the most dominant one.

0:44:06 > 0:44:08There's not much in it sizewise,

0:44:08 > 0:44:10but just being this close,

0:44:10 > 0:44:13you can tell that one is marginally smaller,

0:44:13 > 0:44:16but considerably more dominant.

0:44:19 > 0:44:23It's the dominant pup that seems to be the most adventurous one.

0:44:25 > 0:44:27They're kind of ranked in order.

0:44:27 > 0:44:29There's super-adventurous.

0:44:30 > 0:44:32Adventurous.

0:44:32 > 0:44:33And stay-at-home.

0:44:34 > 0:44:38It always seems to be the same third one that stays back.

0:44:39 > 0:44:43And it's kind of encouraged by the others to head further out.

0:44:49 > 0:44:52The pups all look healthy now

0:44:52 > 0:44:54but when food gets scarce

0:44:54 > 0:44:57it's the dominant pup that is most likely to survive.

0:45:03 > 0:45:06Soon, the pups will leave the warmth and safety of the den.

0:45:07 > 0:45:09Life is going to get a lot harder.

0:45:10 > 0:45:13At least, while I'm here, I'll help keep an eye on them.

0:45:17 > 0:45:20This is the best baby-sitting job I've ever had.

0:45:22 > 0:45:27It is amazing, really, to be trusted and accepted by a wild animal.

0:45:28 > 0:45:31Wolves are super-cool.

0:45:33 > 0:45:36I've been really amazed by them.

0:45:37 > 0:45:40Amazed by how they live

0:45:40 > 0:45:44and also amazed by how they've let me get so close to them.

0:45:47 > 0:45:51It's amazing, really, to be able to form some kind of

0:45:51 > 0:45:54cross-species relationship with wolves,

0:45:54 > 0:45:57to the point that they'll let you

0:45:57 > 0:45:59look after their young

0:45:59 > 0:46:01while they go off hunting.

0:46:03 > 0:46:05If that's not being welcomed into the pack,

0:46:05 > 0:46:07I don't know what is.

0:46:15 > 0:46:18After an hour, Luna returns with food.

0:46:21 > 0:46:24She's only been able to find an old muskox leg.

0:46:28 > 0:46:31And there's barely enough meat on the bone for each pup.

0:46:34 > 0:46:35It's a worrying sign.

0:46:39 > 0:46:41My wolf family have a problem.

0:46:48 > 0:46:50The Arctic summer doesn't last long.

0:46:52 > 0:46:56It's a time when all animals race to feed their offspring,

0:46:56 > 0:46:58preparing them for the approaching winter.

0:47:06 > 0:47:10This should be the easiest time of year to find food.

0:47:11 > 0:47:13But my wolves are struggling

0:47:13 > 0:47:15to bring back anything substantial for the pups.

0:47:18 > 0:47:21In six weeks, they will face freezing temperatures.

0:47:23 > 0:47:27On their current diet, the pups have little chance of surviving.

0:47:30 > 0:47:33What they desperately need is a big meal.

0:47:39 > 0:47:41I've only got four days left.

0:47:42 > 0:47:46I want to leave knowing that the pups are getting enough to eat.

0:47:47 > 0:47:51To do that, the pack will need to bring down a muskox.

0:47:57 > 0:48:01Herds of muskox move through wolf territories in search of grazing.

0:48:02 > 0:48:06They are the most dangerous creature a wolf can hunt.

0:48:07 > 0:48:08Look at this...

0:48:09 > 0:48:10It's the remains of a muskox.

0:48:12 > 0:48:14And a pretty big one.

0:48:14 > 0:48:15Look at this...

0:48:16 > 0:48:18My goodness!

0:48:18 > 0:48:22It's like something from the distant past.

0:48:22 > 0:48:24And I suppose it is.

0:48:24 > 0:48:28Muskox are one of the few animals to have survived the last ice age

0:48:28 > 0:48:31and, really, this animal evolved alongside wolves,

0:48:31 > 0:48:33but they evolved alongside animals

0:48:33 > 0:48:35that are long-extinct - sabre-toothed cats.

0:48:35 > 0:48:38So, they are equipped to deal with predators

0:48:38 > 0:48:40that are much bigger than the wolf.

0:48:40 > 0:48:41Looking at this in detail,

0:48:41 > 0:48:44you realise what these wolves are up against.

0:48:45 > 0:48:49If muskox are under attack, they can ram into a wolf.

0:48:50 > 0:48:53They're powerful enough to break the spine of a wolf,

0:48:53 > 0:48:54if they get a direct hit.

0:48:54 > 0:48:56But, also, what they'll do is gore,

0:48:56 > 0:48:59like any animal with horns is designed to do,

0:48:59 > 0:49:03and that would go right through a wolf.

0:49:04 > 0:49:06For wolves to get a significant meal,

0:49:06 > 0:49:10they have to take on one of these huge animals.

0:49:10 > 0:49:12Can you imagine facing off an animal like this,

0:49:12 > 0:49:15that weighs over 400 kilos?

0:49:15 > 0:49:17It stands nearly five foot at the shoulder.

0:49:18 > 0:49:23And these, in comparison, tiny wolves square up to them.

0:49:25 > 0:49:27Rather them than me.

0:49:32 > 0:49:35Two days later, I can't believe the pack's luck.

0:49:36 > 0:49:39A muskox herd has moved into our valley.

0:49:40 > 0:49:43This could be the opportunity the family needs.

0:49:44 > 0:49:46They are huge.

0:49:49 > 0:49:51Now that is one animal I'm scared of.

0:49:51 > 0:49:52And they've got a bad attitude

0:49:52 > 0:49:55towards anything that looks like a predator.

0:49:59 > 0:50:01Right, I'm not too happy about this

0:50:01 > 0:50:04because the muskox are coming straight towards me.

0:50:08 > 0:50:11I'm in a very dangerous position,

0:50:11 > 0:50:13trapped between the wolves and their prey.

0:50:24 > 0:50:26Now, this could get interesting.

0:50:28 > 0:50:29How's this going to play out?

0:50:38 > 0:50:41It looks like they're going to cross right over towards the wolves.

0:50:42 > 0:50:44It's crazy.

0:50:48 > 0:50:50Muskox are aggressive

0:50:50 > 0:50:52and pose a danger to the pups.

0:50:54 > 0:50:56The wolves are up on their feet.

0:50:58 > 0:51:00They're heading right up towards the wolves.

0:51:00 > 0:51:01Holy mackerel...

0:51:02 > 0:51:05Now these wolves are going to have to spring into action.

0:51:06 > 0:51:07My God...

0:51:12 > 0:51:15They're really relaxed. God, these wolves are super-cool!

0:51:18 > 0:51:21My wolves are hungry, but this is a big herd.

0:51:23 > 0:51:25The pack are outnumbered two to one.

0:51:26 > 0:51:29It's not often that a meal comes straight towards a wolf

0:51:29 > 0:51:31but that's what seems to have happened here.

0:51:31 > 0:51:35Now the wolves have to really think carefully

0:51:35 > 0:51:37whether this is worth it,

0:51:37 > 0:51:40whether they stand a chance.

0:51:43 > 0:51:45Scruffy shows his inexperience

0:51:45 > 0:51:47and is pushed back by a bull.

0:51:58 > 0:52:00Oh, she's making a go for it!

0:52:03 > 0:52:04They're going for it.

0:52:04 > 0:52:06They're going for the muskox.

0:52:06 > 0:52:07They're going for the muskox.

0:52:07 > 0:52:10Jesus, they've set panic in amongst the herd.

0:52:17 > 0:52:19Luna and Romulus are leading the charge.

0:52:21 > 0:52:22They don't want them to get up on the hill

0:52:22 > 0:52:24because they'll lose them on the flat.

0:52:43 > 0:52:45Oh, my God, this is unbelievable!

0:52:48 > 0:52:50The muskox have regained the advantage.

0:52:52 > 0:52:54Two massive bulls,

0:52:54 > 0:52:55about ten females.

0:52:57 > 0:52:59Maybe they don't stand a chance? Crikey...

0:53:00 > 0:53:01Scruffy strays too close.

0:53:02 > 0:53:04A bull seizes the opportunity.

0:53:07 > 0:53:09In the confusion, the rest of the herd make a break...

0:53:10 > 0:53:12Oh, my word!

0:53:12 > 0:53:14..with Luna and Romulus in pursuit.

0:53:20 > 0:53:22That was exciting.

0:53:24 > 0:53:25Phew...!

0:53:36 > 0:53:38It's gone midnight and I am shattered.

0:53:38 > 0:53:39HOWLING

0:53:39 > 0:53:41But also delighted.

0:53:43 > 0:53:46I'm hoping I'll wake up to Luna feeding the pups

0:53:46 > 0:53:48the muskox meal they badly need.

0:54:04 > 0:54:07The next morning, there's still no sign of Luna.

0:54:08 > 0:54:11It's my last day and I'm starting to worry.

0:54:12 > 0:54:15The pups haven't fed for eight hours.

0:54:17 > 0:54:20Luna has never left them for this long before.

0:54:21 > 0:54:25The pups aren't weaned and no other wolf can keep them alive.

0:54:28 > 0:54:30There's no sign of the pack.

0:54:31 > 0:54:33So I head out to look for them.

0:54:44 > 0:54:46I find muskox,

0:54:46 > 0:54:48but the wolves are nowhere to be seen.

0:54:50 > 0:54:52You can see from this viewpoint

0:54:52 > 0:54:55how hard the wolves have to work to survive.

0:54:55 > 0:54:57It is wild. It's the wildest place on earth.

0:54:57 > 0:55:01We are so far north that, beyond this, it's the North Pole.

0:55:02 > 0:55:03There is nothing.

0:55:05 > 0:55:06And we don't know how far they go.

0:55:06 > 0:55:10There's lots of questions about exactly where they're going to hunt.

0:55:11 > 0:55:16It may well be that they even go into those mountains and beyond.

0:55:19 > 0:55:20Even on this short walk,

0:55:20 > 0:55:22I've realised that it's going to be impossible

0:55:22 > 0:55:24to follow the wolves on foot.

0:55:29 > 0:55:31When I get back to the den,

0:55:31 > 0:55:32I can't see the pups.

0:55:35 > 0:55:38I've only got a few hours until I have to leave.

0:55:39 > 0:55:41And I'm worried about them.

0:55:52 > 0:55:54I wonder if I can call the pups out?

0:55:55 > 0:55:58They've heard my voice

0:55:58 > 0:56:01and they haven't acted too adversely to it so...

0:56:03 > 0:56:04Pup, pup, come on.

0:56:06 > 0:56:08Come on, pups. Out you come.

0:56:19 > 0:56:20It is unbelievable.

0:56:22 > 0:56:25I never imagined, when I first arrived here,

0:56:25 > 0:56:27when I was looking at this den from across the valley,

0:56:27 > 0:56:32that I would one day be sitting right on top

0:56:32 > 0:56:33listening to the pups inside.

0:56:35 > 0:56:36Pretty special.

0:56:44 > 0:56:48Their mum, Luna, has been away for 12 hours.

0:56:49 > 0:56:51Longer than ever before.

0:56:53 > 0:56:55The pups are starving.

0:57:02 > 0:57:05I never expected to get this close to wild wolves.

0:57:06 > 0:57:09Or to get so attached to them.

0:57:10 > 0:57:15To come here and actually get to know these wolves

0:57:15 > 0:57:19has been a complete revelation to me.

0:57:19 > 0:57:23You know, wolves are far more incredible

0:57:23 > 0:57:24than I could ever have imagined.

0:57:24 > 0:57:26I've really fallen for them in a big way.

0:57:28 > 0:57:30I desperately want to help the pups,

0:57:30 > 0:57:32but...I can't.

0:57:35 > 0:57:39All I can do is hope that Luna feeds them soon

0:57:39 > 0:57:43and they're all still alive when I come back in six weeks.

0:57:48 > 0:57:51When I return, everything has changed.

0:57:51 > 0:57:54My wolf family are on the move...

0:57:55 > 0:57:57..and I struggle to keep up with them.

0:57:59 > 0:58:00Oh, wow!

0:58:01 > 0:58:05It's a crucial time as they try to feed up for the Arctic winter.

0:58:06 > 0:58:09That is a sign of desperation.

0:58:09 > 0:58:11That's a sign that the wolves are finding things tough.

0:58:11 > 0:58:15Tensions rise as they clash with a rival pack.

0:58:15 > 0:58:17These guys have pushed my pack out.

0:58:17 > 0:58:19I hope nothing bad's happened.

0:58:20 > 0:58:22And I see a new side to my wolf family.

0:58:24 > 0:58:27If ever I was going to be attacked by a wolf,

0:58:27 > 0:58:29now would seem like a good time.
