episode description
For years, at least four highly elusive wolfpacks have lived and hunted on the edge of the wild city of Anchorage. But as the city spreads further and further into wolf country, the wolves are now getting bolder, and attacks on humans are on the increase. A group was recently targeted whilst jogging with their dog on a trail near one of the city’s main roads. But despite the dangers posed by these urban wolfpacks, many residents are fighting to protect the wolves, that roamed this area long before the city was built. Alaska Zoo provides a permanent home to five wild-born wolf pups, that would otherwise have been culled by hunters. By understanding the wolves’ social hierarchies, they’ve actually been able to form a bond with these usually feared animals. Keeper Tim Lescher is now even able to enter the enclosure with these wild born predators. But as man and beast increasingly come face to face...can the people of Anchorage find a way to protect the city’s deadliest and most iconic wild predator.
