      Einst durchstreiften Wölfe weite Teile Europas und Nordamerikas. Heute findet man sie nur noch in entlegenen Landstrichen. Ian McAllister folgt den Spuren der letzten wilden Wölfe des Great Bear Rainforest an der schwer zugänglichen Westküste Kanadas. Über einen Zeitraum von 17 Jahren näherte er sich immer wieder den scheuen Tieren, die sich an das Leben im Innern des Regenwaldes angepasst haben. Beim herbstlichen Lachsfischen, auf ihrer Seehundjagd im Winter und bei der Aufzucht ihrer Jungen im Frühling. Intime Einblicke in das Verhalten eines der faszinierendsten Raubtiere unserer Erde, dessen Lebensraum akut bedroht ist.
