- Abstract
- "This is the first-person narrative of a scientist who travels to one of the most remote places on Earth - Wood Buffalo National Park in northwestern Canada - to study the predator-prey relationship of wolves and bison. The park is the only place in North America where wolves and bison have continued their predator-prey relationship since before the time of Columbus; elsewhere the bison were exterminated, or the wolves, or both. Lu Carbyn takes us with him on his journeys to the north, sometimes alone, sometimes with filmmakers, sometimes with students. The result is a rare glimpse into the ecology of these mammals as their life-and-death struggles play out in the open delta of Wood Buffalo National Park."--Jacket.
