Arguably no other animal on earth has been as important to humans as the wolf.

They were gods in the Norse mythologies and nursed Romulus and Remus, the founders of Rome.

Most importantly, the wolf was the first animal to ever be domesticated by man, a process still shrouded in mystery that took place well over 10,000 years ago.

They have been our dearest friends and direst enemies, and yet there is still so much we don't know about them.

When a Wolf howls it is an eerie, spine-tingling sound to those who hear it.

To the Wolf, it's a form of communicating with his pack.

These little understood animals are the largest members of the dog family and the Gray Wolf is the most common. This adaptable animal was once found all over the Northern Hemisphere but today is found mainly in Alaska, Canada and Asia. Few Gray Wolves survive in Europe, but where populations are high many wolves are not averse to attacking domestic animals.

As a result, many have been shot, poisoned or trapped.

Wolves have a long history with humans and are often feared, although attacks on people are extremely rare. Presented in a high-quality gift pack with a beautifully designed book and 6 free 10 x 8 prints.
