Ian McAllister 
Following the Last Wild Wolves 

This book describes
Ian Mc Allister ‘s experiences over that period following two packs of wolves, one that dominates the extreme outer coastal islands, and another that lives farther inland in the heart of the temperate rainforest.




Mc Allister , along with
Chris Darimont and
Paul C. Paquet , were the first to document the unique behavior of these animals in
The Last Wild Wolves. In
Following the Last Wild Wolves ,
Mc Allister brings readers up to date describing what has happened to the wolves and their environment since the book first appeared. He chronicles their unique behavior as they fish for salmon in the fall, target seals hauled out on rocks in winter, and give birth to their young in spring. He also describes the work of scientists with the Raincoast Conservation Society who have been studying the wolves and explains how their science corroborates his own observations and the traditional knowledge of the area’s Native people. Most interestingly, the results of these studies reveal a genetically distinct population of wolves independent of and separate from all other known wolf populations on the planet.
