Main Wolves: Capturing the Elusive

The team at Planet Earth 3 spent three years researching and collaborating with scientists to capture footage of the elusive main wolves. These wolves, resembling foxes on stilts, are highly shy and difficult to film. Using new technologies and collaring techniques, the team was able to uncover their behaviors and document their lives. The captured footage not only provided engaging sequences for the series, but also contributed to scientific research and conservation efforts of the threatened species.
