The Redemption of Wolf 302: From Renegade to Yellowstone Alpha Male (The Alpha Wolves of Yellowstone, 3)

From the renowned wolf researcher and author of The Rise of Wolf 8 and The Reign of Wolf 21 comes a stunning account of an unconventional Yellowstone wolf. The perfect gift for readers who love compelling animal stories.

Wolf 302 was anything but Yellowstone's perfect alpha male. For starters, he fled from danger. He begged for food from other wolves, and even napped during a heated battle with a rival pack.

But this is not the story of 302's failures. This is the story of his dramatic transformation. And legendary wolf writer Rick McIntyre witnessed it all from the sidelines. 

As McIntyre closely observed with his spotting scope, wolf 302 began to mature, and, much to McIntyre's surprise, became the leader of a new pack in his old age. 

But in a year when game was scarce, could the aging wolf provide for his family? Had he changed enough to live up to the legacies of the great alpha males before him?

Recounted in McIntyre's captivating storytelling voice and peppered with fascinating insights into wolf behavior, The Redemption of Wolf 302 is a powerful coming-of-age tale that will strike a chord with anyone who has struggled to make a change, big or small.

"With this third installment of Rick McIntyre's magnum opus, the scope and ambition of the project becomes clear: nothing less than a grand serialization of the first twenty years of wolves in Yellowstone, a kind of lupine Great Expectations."--Nate Blakeslee, New York Times bestselling author of American Wolf
