1 No Ordinary Wolf
Waterfront Theatre
$17 / $8.50 for student groups
For two decades, naturalist Ian McAllister has been following an elusive type of wolf that lives in BC’s Great Bear Rainforest, can swim like an otter and can fish like the bears that also live in that rainforest. He’s documented this rare and fascinating animal, through remote filming, tracking and patient watching. He brings his research to life in his book The Sea Wolves, which not only puts to rest our idea of “the Big Bad Wolf” but also underlines the need to protect the valuable habitat in which the sea wolf lives.
