Synopsis

Biologist Farley Mowat was dropped into Eskimo lands by the Canadian Government, that was looking for an excuse to eradicate wolves. What he discovered instead was astonishing. The Eskimos were listening to wolves from five miles away, messages from the Canis lupus telegraph system. One example was the instance that two men and a woman were going to arrive in three days. All these communications were veridicated! Their social structure was self-aware and intelligent. They were NOT eating up all the caribou, as the Government wanted to project, but cleaning up mice in plague proportions. Yum. His scientific reportage was meanwhile hilariously funny, and the book is magnificent.
