I must say that Wolves: Ecology... is the best wolf book out there! It tells about almost everything there is to a wolf that is known!

I wish I could add something, but I have recently realized how much false information I have absorbed despite (or because) I have had the passion for these animals since I was very young... And well the facts I thought I knew need some serious updating. So I just want to say thank you for this amazing data source and the opportunity to ask questions.

I also have been writing kind of "wolf stories" for my own personal fun. I aim to tell the tale in a way that everything in it, the nature and its creatures, are as realistic as possible... This forum really helps.

Wolf Quest seems to have grown to be a quest for a lot more than a mere game for kids (though it is an awesome game too).

Might I also suggest my current reading: A Wolf Called Romeo, by Nick Jans. It is an account of the years a wild black wolf had innumerable friendly interactions with the people and dogs of Juneau, Alaska. In between events is a heaping of knowledge and research that is rather interesting. In it is everything from history of the (very few) hostile wolf-human interactions and what caused them to simple descriptions of an average wolf's diet, adding to the reader's understanding of both the wolf and it's far away brethren.

Besides that, the list given will certainly find it's way on to my reading list!

This list is geared more eductional/scientific readings about wolves. You may want to share that memoir in Wolf Multimedia instead.

Thanks, I indeed will! Still sort of figuring out the forums, so sorry for posting in topics that don't exactly fit. I will look more into what fits and what does not in the future!
