About this title

Synopsis

The painted wolf is Africa's most persecuted predator. It is also the most elusive and enigmatic. For six years Nick has been tracking and photographing them on foot in the Zambezi Valley. For twenty years Peter has been doing all he can to save them from extinction. This book takes you into the secret world of the painted wolves. Painted Wolves: A Wild Dog s Life is their story. It is told with insight and passion from two people who know them well, each with their own unique perspective on this endearing animal. This story is told in three parts. In the first section of the book we are introduced to the painted wolf and learn not only about the fascinating features that make them so special, but also the history of their persecution and the challenges that they continue to face today. In the second part, Nick takes us deep into the wild Zambezi Valley where he has been following and photographing painted wolves on foot for the last six years. Here you will meet the incredible alpha females Tait, Blacktip and Tammy, as they live their lives away from the destructive influences of man. You will experience them at the den, on the hunt, feasting and through the ups and downs of family life. In the third section, Peter provides a real insight into conserving the painted wolves based on twenty years dedicated to their survival. Although they are now a protected species, they still face a relentless assault from snaring, roadkills and disease. Peter takes you into the tough world of conservation, describing the many challenges and the innovative and successful solutions he has introduced. The book is illustrated with more than 220 stunning images. Each photograph tells a story in its own right and brings alive the captivating and mysterious world of the painted wolves and the lives of those around them.
