5/21/2023 0 Comments Farley mowat wolvesOn the one hand, Mowat changed the way people looked at the the mysterious wolf and developed the understanding that wolves are more in tune with nature than our own species seems to be. I have such a complicated opinion when it comes to Never Cry Wolf. Received via NetGalley and Open Road Media in exchange for an completely unbiased review. Mowat humanizes these animals that have long been demonized, turning the widespread narrative of the “savage wolf” on its head and inspiring many governments to enact protective legislation for the North’s most mysterious creature. Praised for its humor and engrossing narrative, Never Cry Wolf describes a group of wolves whose interactions and behaviors seem strikingly similar to our own. Instead, over the course of a summer spent observing the powerful animals, Mowat discovered an animal species with a remarkable capacity for loyalty, virtue, and playfulness. Alone among the howling canine packs, Mowat expected to find the bloodthirsty beasts of popular conception. Many people thought that the caribous’ conspicuous decline had been caused by the tundra’s most notorious predator: the wolf. In 1948, Farley Mowat landed in the far north of Manitoba, Canada, a young biologist sent to investigate the region’s dwindling population of caribou. This international bestseller that changed the way we look at wolves “opens new horizons in understanding animal nature and intelligence” ( Newsday).

"Ruuuuuush!" I heard the loud cry that came from me as i went falling into complete bliss. I want to watch you." His words sent me spiralling over the edge of the cliff I'd been trying so hard to reach. His hand moved before I could respond and my eyes rolled back in my head.
