Summary:
"Author and photographer Tom Walker recounts the story of Wolf 258, part of a project that has studied wolves in Alaska's Yukon-Charley Rivers National Preserve for more than two decades. Through the lens of one wolf's life over a six-month journey, Walker examines the broader complexity of the species' struggle to survive and the futility of borders to contain large mammals"-- Provided by publisher.
