Never heard of a dire wolf? Today, you’ll only encounter them as fossilized remains in museums or in the pages of novels. But this extinct canine (Aenocyon dirus), first identified in 1858, once ruled the prehistoric Americas and parts of eastern Asia as an apex predator. Join wildlife biologist and Expedition Leader Aaron Bott to discover the natural history of dire wolves -- their evolution, their relationship to modern dogs and wolves, and what may have happened to make them disappear.

Join wildlife biologist and Expedition Leader Aaron Bott as he talks about coyotes and why he considers them the ultimate adapters.

Wolves are endlessly fascinating animals, and their role as apex predators is a vital one. Once nearly eradicated, wolves are making a comeback across much of their historic range in the lower 48 states. But coexisting with them can be a challenge, especially for ranchers, since wolves sometimes prey on livestock. Wildlife biologist Aaron Bott explains some of the programs that compensate livestock producers for their losses helping both wolves and local ranchers to thrive.
