A beautifully illustrated guide to gray wolves from wolf expert Brenna J. Cassidy.
You might know that gray wolves live in packs, but there's so much more to learn about these incredible predators! Find out what makes wolves howl, why wolves sniffing each other's butts is their way of shaking hands, and how some wolves in Yellowstone National Park used thermal activity to heat their den! You'll also witness the incredible relationship gray wolves have with ravens (they play tug with wolf cubs), learn about wolf rewilding projects, and discover what it takes to become a wolf zoologist yourself. Filled with simple science and plenty of animal facts, this book also looks at the conservation challenges these animals face.
Featuring stunning illustrations by Sally Agar, Gray Wolf (Young Zoologist) is part of an exciting series of collectable animal books from Neon Squid aiming to inspire the next generation of biologists and conservationists.
Also available: Humpback Whale, Giant Panda, African Elephant, Emperor Penguin, Koala, Honey Bee, Green Sea Turtle

"This field guide to the gray wolf lets children imagine they are scientists heading out to study this animal. . . Large-scale scenes in colorful, kid-friendly illustrations blend with smaller cutouts and chunked, descriptive text, resulting in a pleasing design that's accessible to browsing readers and focused students alike." —Booklist
Praise for the Young Zoologist series:Brenna Cassidy is a wildlife biology PhD candidate at the University of Montana. She studies the survival and reproductive ecology of gray wolves. You can often find her half way up a snowy mountain tagging a tranquillised gray wolf so she can better study its movements. Gray Wolf (Young Zoologist) is her first book.
