About This Book

A collection of closely observed animal life recounts the individual histories of several wild creatures, blending natural history with narrative portraiture. One tale follows an aging gray wolf whose intelligence and dominance over a small, formidable pack shape conflicts with ranching life on a southwestern range. A second traces a male grouse's mating drum, pairing, unexpected fatherhood, and protective behavior toward his brood. Other pieces similarly reconstruct foxes and smaller mammals through scenes of foraging, territorial behavior, family bonds, and encounters with humans, predators, and environmental hazards. The narrator treats animal sounds and gestures as translatable signs and emphasizes instinctive drives, social structure, and the practical details of survival.
