Wolf 10

In April of 1995, wildlife biologists flew small airplanes over
Yellowstone National Park, looking for two missing wolves. “They’re
just gone. And that’s implausible because wolves don’t just
disappear.” The missing wolves were two of 14 that had been brought
down from Canada in an attempt to reestablish the wolf population
in Yellowstone. Not everyone supported the Yellowstone Wolf
Project—including a man named Chad McKittrick. We speak with Thomas
McNamee and Joe Fontaine. McNamee’s book is The Killing of Wolf
Number Ten. We’re trying something new. Two stories about the same
family of wolves in Yellowstone. One is a crime story, and one is a
love story. For the love story, check out Episode 19 of This is
Love. It’s called The Wolves: https://apple.co/2wSJs7B Say hello on
