Documentary: BBC: The Battlefield. Wolves was filmed on 400 square kilometers of the Rocky Mountains, on which the possession of North American wolves is located.
It is in this territory, due to its remoteness from cities and villages, roads and factories, that wolves feel themselves the real masters of all mountains (it is because of this that the number of wolves reach an impressive size here). And that is why to study the behavior and life of wolves in the wild, scientists chose local packs, watching the daily skirmishes of one pack with others, their hunting and fight with bears – the most dangerous opponents of wolves. close

And yet he knows how to play the flute, keyboards, African drums, kill with a glance and sing in two microphones at the same time. close
