Episode notes

This chapter of the podcast episode discusses the search for two wolves, Wolf 9 and Wolf 10, in Yellowstone National Park. The biologists face challenges in locating the wolves, including storms and the threat of being surrounded by cattle ranches. It also highlights the discovery of Wolf 10's collar in a culvert, suggesting foul play.

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.”

Thomas McNamee’s book is The Killing of Wolf Number Ten.
