Narrated by ROBERT REDFORD
Produced by Peace River Films
Directed by John Borden and Neil Goodwin

The first film about the wolf made entirely in the wild, this was shot in the Canadian Northwest Territories along the Arctic circle and is a living portrait of the tundra wolf and its principal prey, the barren ground caribou seen through three seasons and a migration of hundreds of miles. Using pioneering photographic techniques to obtain unique animal behavior footage, it tells the story of the wolf, the predator that inhabits the human imagination like no other creature. It is one of many examples of the ways in which a top predator keeps the breeding stock of its prey strong by culling the weak and the sick. Such predators can prevent overpopulation of prey species and the benefits are seen throughout their shared ecosystem.
I love the wolf pups! They’re adorable!
I love Wolf stories!
It’s amazing how animals coexist together even if they’re enemies!
It’s amazing how the wolves track their prey!
it's a decades old, but beautiful documentary, which Redford narrates brilliantly. I've watched this countless times.
Redford did a great job of narrating this documentary. Excellent diction.
Wow! I didn’t know the tundra wolf is a loner no pack! That’s amazing!
Not so. The documentary proves they form small packs. Wolves anywhere are not loners by design. Ocassiopnally a wolf has left a pack to form its own and sometimes that takes awhile. But ultimately they join a pack or form a new one. I studied/observed wolves at Great Bear Lake, NWT for 3 years and one pack had 12 adults/sub adults with 4 pups as well, totalling 16. There, not too far from the Mackenzie River that runs on the Western shores of the lake a few hundred miles distant, the Eastern shore is dotted with trees and small forests, supporting resident moose and nomadic cariboo that sustain and support larger resident wolf packs whereas on that Western shore the treeline converges with the tundra and trees become scarce as one moves Northward. In those regions as was featured here packs get smaller in number due to prey size (caribou) being on the move or being smaller in size as with hares and lemmings. In the high North, wolf packs number several members as they must contend with resident Muskoxen that require several individuals to be taken down.
@@gjd1942exactly right at times they do disperse to hunt alone, sometimes depending on pack female staying at the den with pups for example, Therefore the alpha may hunt alone periodically BUT wolves are pack animals, very social with one another. Wolves NEED each other! Just amazing animals ❤
Older documentary but one of the best on wolves...
Красивая зимняя фауна и ареал многих Животных и грызунов,некоторые в спячку уходят,патом весной просыпаются,лайк👍ролику и жизненного счастья во всём,спасибо!!!!💯🐺🐾🐾🏔️❄️👍👍👍
A truly formidable apex predator.
Love this documentary & Redford's narration. He should be hired to narrate many more documentaries. His english is perfect. Such a pleasure to be listened to.
I really appreciate the context given about life in nature in this documentary. It's actually pretty fair, to be honest, the way everything works. The wolf has to succeed in the hunt to keep on being able to hunt.
Wolves are brilliant strategists. They truly learn to understand prey & takes advantage of any opportunity that presents itself.
Well even though this film is old it’s pretty good I have to say!
Maybe older documentary but enjoyed so much!!!! Love the great wolves! ❤️ thanks for the hard work to make this documentary for our enjoyment

Волков нельзя любить! Они едят хозяев! 😮
@@klientklient6133they shouldn't have owners
I LEARNED A LOT MORE ABOUT WOLVES FROM THE FROM THE SMALLEST TO LARGEST GREAT DOCUMENTARY
DO NOT BELIEVE ANY MOVIE. NO ONE KNOWS THE LIFESTYLE OF THE WOLF EXCEPT GOD BECAUSE IT IS NOT TAME, ESPECIALLY THE WOOD WOLF OR THE TUNDRA WOLF. IT'S JAW IS 1200 POUNDS PER SQUARE INCH AND IT CAN KILL A BEAR WITH ITS FLOCK. UNLIKE THE DEADLY GRAY WOLF, IT DOES NOT DARE APPROACH THE LARGE BROWN BEAR.
Thank you! I've been looking for this rare film for a long time narrated by Redford
Good Documentary and well Narrated . In Nature something has to Die that others may live and how that unfolds is not always pretty but it is reality. The Tundra Wolves work very hard for whatever kills they make, they are majestic and impressive creatures.
Beautiful program . The narration is under-exaggerated , concise ; and , entirely relevant... The colour differentiation between cubs , from same litter , really caught my attention ~ I won't waffle... - thoroughly recommended .
Agreed , old Bob does a very pleasing narration. I was listening at first without knowing who the narrator was thinking " I KNOW that voice..."!
@@waukivorycopse2402 ~ you have the upper hand - I'm still not familiar (don't know who he is... just liked the 'narration' . I'm British - not owned a TV since 1998 - maybe 'miss out' , ha haa , perish the thought , on being able to recognize / associate 'well known' celebs with their image . I only just realized Arlo Parks is black ; and , we have a British Asian PM.. . Don't watch TV ~ don't even glance at the "news .." papers , ~ I feel privileged to be one of the least informed privileged , lucky , people on the planet . ~ not that I'm particularly lucky or privileged - I hasten to add...
@@adzdahlman9724 if you haven't watched tv since since 1998 you've missed precisely bugger all. Maybe Graham Linehans' " The IT Crowd" and BBC's "Showbands " but apart from those you've missed nothing. I'm very envious of you! Oh and I forgot to type, the narrator is nature lover, dedicated conserver of wild places and sometime movie star, Robert Redford.
@@waukivorycopse2402 ~ ah haaa : I wouldn't recognize his voice nowadays , which is a shame - I have obv. not heard him speak 'off camera' for many years . The 'no TV' thing happened cos bought a narrow boat / barge , to convert / live on . The "need" to prioritize where I burned my hard earned electricity soon blew the tv out of the window . MUSIC.... lightning , water / shower pumps / bilge pumps all took priority . To run a TV (back then... 1997-ish) , meant running an 'inverter' to change 12 volt to 240 , which just WASTED so much energy , the tv became naturally redundant . I waffle
@@adzdahlman9724 living on a boat, sounds very relaxing. Good for you, doing your own thing.
What a fabulous documentary. The wolf have been my fav animal since I was young. We hold the same ideals….. survival & family 🤩. 👵🏻👩🌾❣️
There's a difference. Humans have zero respect for the world in which the wolves live. We pollute, encroach & treat the wilderness like a Disney theme park. Wolves are better than humans.
Beautiful!
Excellent narration. Sounds like Robert Redford.
The White Wolf (Canis albus) is a species of dog native to the North Pole, there are seven extant subspecies of white wolf, the Tundra Wolf (Canis albus albus), the Arctic Wolf (Canis albus arctos), the Hudson Bay Wolf (Canis albus hudsonicus), the Mackenzie River Wolf (Canis albus mackenzii), the Baffin Island Wolf (Canis albus manningi), the Greenland Wolf (Canis albus orion), and the Barren-Ground Wolf (Canis albus tundrarum), the tundra wolf of Scandinavia and Russia is the nominate subspecies and the only extant subspecies found in the continental regions of the old world and also the most basal extant subspecies of white wolf.
Thanks for such a detailed explanation.

Its not a fuckin dog
What about the canus Anus wolf there ballsack
These are the largest and most powerful wolves. No dog, regardless of size or breed, can stand up to this wolf. Unfortunately, there are fools who claim that the house dog outperforms wolves. It is funny and indicates their ignorance of these predators.
House dog noo huge kengal dog Tibetan mastiff have been known to out fight a lone wolf at times but there not house dogs
@@blakerobinson9928 I bet you don't know much about dogs kzhead.info/sun/iNWDZpqcbap_q4E/bejne.html
@@blakerobinson9928 A single tundra wolf terrorizes 3 Tibetan Mastiffs😀 kzhead.info/sun/nJZ7fMZvpZaJgI0/bejne.html
@@blakerobinson9928 The wolf is characterized by absolute courage and strength and is not afraid, unlike all dogs that are encouraged when their owner is next to them, but without him they become a target
@@blakerobinson9928 Wolves vary in size according to the environment. The largest wolves are the tundra wolves and the northern and Canadian wolves. It is impossible for any dog, regardless of its size and type, to withstand the aforementioned wolves.
❤Amazing nature, thanks God, and thanks to you for a wonderful story
Thanks 👍 that is first time I can learning about our nature.
Very well done I appreciated this documentary to be sure. I live in a semi isolated area and I'm very accustomed to the Wolves being around and interacting with everything around me. There was just one thing I would like to say as well in regards to the week and the sick and so on being harvested sometimes a creature is just simply unlucky. And as far as myself I am a part of nature as well I do not live in the world that most people live in the hustle and bustle and so on I have my own place and I live mostly off my land but there is room for all here whether it's the prey animal or the prayed on animal I have even had wolves kill deer right behind my house and I have seen where they have killed moose and Elk. I have also had Bears Den on my land but I have never had Wolves Den on my land. Should I be so lucky it truly would be a blessing from Allah. I know I've been long but I would like to say one more thing I have never had wolves kill my small herd of cattle or bothered my horses or anything of that matter I have had the odd coyote or Fox steal a chicken or two but I put up with it
ממש מרתק הטבע בהגרו של הבורא היקר והניכבד
Yes, indeed, our Lord and Savior JC has blessed us all...
Thanks for upload brilliant programme
Great doco!
this is an amazing footage documentary about caribou survival outrun the wolf the wolf's top predator in the Arctic tundra,!!!
Very interesting documentary about my favorite predator. Wolves are amazing intelligent animals who taught early man plenty imo .
great shots
Very interesting and well presented.
Ok the tundra wolf is definitely not a loner! Like other wolves it exists within a pack!
I have always loved wolves because they image the wild.
A real oldy-but-goody! Thank you for sharing.
Ok I’m confused! First the filmmaker said the tundra wolf is a loner but then says there’s a pack of wolves!
I love this thank you all❤️❤️❤️
Very interesting fakts about predator and prey, Wonderful nature, landscape, movie... Thx
The trail is learned generationally
Thank you for sharing this i lke watching this beautiful creator of god.
It is the story of *Nature’s Truth*
You can tell this is an old video!
Great program

Reminiscence of Wild American. Marty peace bro, where ever u are .
make more plsssssssssssssss i cant ever find them
God s creature...thank you tobthe narrator for telling the truth❤❤
wait how is this 1 yr ago
❤❤❤🐺
Farley Mowat's book: "Never Cry Wolf" is a much better account of the arctic wolf. These wolves are not arctic wolves, Arctic wolves are white, These wolves are a mix of arctic and northern wolves.

I believe the whole story of this hole, was a hallucination and maybe a summer's night dream. People tend to make up things just to level up their spirit or to look great in another people's eyes. It's shame many real stories to be matched to places which was only one man's guess and hallucination.
Woodland caribou is upto 300pounds,a Tundra caribou is 40 or 50lbs
Who cares
Efsane 🐺 lar dogasın da bir köpek binemez atalarımız şunu derdin kurtlar insan bir yarım ekmegi yiyene kadar kurtlar 9 tepe aşar 🐺 açımasız canavar hayvana içim sızladı 🙏
vous vous êtes trompé de titre , vous devez afficher LES CARIBOUS et non lle loup de la toundra . taré
Dolly, wooly mamouth, dire wolves, magladon , they will all be roaming around again or a reasonable facimile.
It's not a realistic possibility. Humans are destroying the habitat & it's ability to survive much to fast with global warming. Caribou, wolves & any animals dependent on a cold climate will likely perish permanently.
"His neck is broken" god damn nature you scary as shit!
U-Tube: wild america wolves and whitetails
I guess the script was believable back in the 80s, before GPS tracking collars allowed more precise, longer range, and longer duration tracking observation.
1974
at 30:40 this wolves bark, sounds strange to me a bit untypical for wolves. At least i don't recognise a bark like this from European wolves......
Alarm bark
I never heard of a wolf barking either
looks like its 60 yrs ago lol
1975.
I want to raise one from a pup.

Following it ? Just leave it alone.... Nature doesn't have a need or desire to care for anything's attention.... Nature also doesn't have a need or desire to care wether anything, but itself, lives...dies...or exists. 👎 📹
I've never been too impressed with wolves...to me they're just wild german shepherds...
Nowhere close to a wild German shepherd. They're so much more than any dog.

Wolves have harmed people, not often but the speaker is wrong. I have saw a child injured by one
