The Reign of Wolf 21
The Reign of Wolf 21: The Saga of Yellowstone's Legendary Druid Pack | Rick McIntyre
3 posts | 2 read | 6 to read
A redemption story, an adventure story, and perhaps above all, a love story.Nate Blakeslee, New York Times-bestselling author of American Wolf The Druid Peak Pack was the most famous wolf pack in Yellowstone National Park, and maybe even in the world. This is the dramatic true story of its remarkable leader, Wolf 21whose compassion and loyalty challenges commonly held beliefs about alpha males. In this compelling follow-up to the national bestseller The Rise of Wolf 8, Rick McIntyre profiles one of Yellowstones most revered alpha males, Wolf 21. Leader of the Druid Peak Pack, Wolf 21 was known for his unwavering bravery, his unusual benevolence (unlike other alphas, he never killed defeated rival males), and his fierce commitment to his mate, the formidable Wolf 42. Wolf 21 and Wolf 42 were attracted to each other the moment they metbut Wolf 42s jealous sister interfered viciously in their relationship. After an explosive insurrection within the pack, the two wolves came together at last as leaders of the Druid Peak Pack, which dominated the park for more than 10 years. McIntyre recounts the packs fascinating saga with compassion and a keen eye for detail, drawing on his many years of experience observing Yellowstone wolves in the wild. His outstanding work of science writing offers unparalleled insight into wolf behavior and Yellowstones famed wolf reintroduction project. It also offers a love story for the ages. Like Thomas McNamee, David Mech, Barry Lopez, and other literary naturalists with an interest in wolf behavior, McIntyre writes with both elegance and flair, making complex biology and ethology a pleasure to read. Fans of wild wolves will eat this one up.Kirkus starred review

I was not expecting the emotional one-two ending; it was so good. The story is about a Yellowstone wolf pack's leaders, 21 (alpha male) and 42 (alpha female), and their lifelong bond. There is a lot that unfolds, all based on the careful observations of the author and many others over the course of the late 90s, early 00s. Beautiful storytelling that merges science objectivity and human compassion.

jlhammar Sounds really good. I loved this one

Wolves are often seen only as aggressive predators by many in society. This book shows while they can be aggressive when they need to, it is not their complete nature. Their behavior is in many ways like your dog‘s, playful and loving.

The book covers the years 2000 - 2004 with fascinating details of the daily life of the wolves, from hunts to adult wolves coaxing puppies into crossing streams with sticks.

CaitZ The author spent 25 years studying wolves at Yellowstone National Park. His vast knowledge allows him to pass on information about the packs and their dynamics in an easy to understand way. He shares stories of Wolf 21 and his family and interactions with other wolf packs throughout the park.

Anyone who loves nature should read this book. The best book I've read all year!

Well this is a first. I won a book from Library Thing's Early Reviewers. I am so thrilled. I read the author's first book - The Rise of Wolf 8 - last year and loved it. How soon is too soon to start stalking the mail carrier?

DGRachel When it comes to books, it‘s never to early to stalk the mail carrier, but in all honesty, it really depends on the publisher. I‘ve had some that come in a week or two, and I‘ve had others that took 3 months (and that was pre-pandemic). You just never know. 4y
