Hey, it's Dylan. So we are back for day two of Wildlife Week. It's a week of stories celebrating

this bizarre alien, wondrous natural world that we all share.

And we've got a really, I guess I would say it's a pretty moving story today.

You're going to hear that in a second.

Tomorrow we're going to talk with a sound designer who worked on planet Earth

too, and you're not going to be able to watch Nature Docs in the same way

after you hear this story.

And finally, later this week, one of our reporters travels to the Kenyan savanna and gets very up close and personal with two

massive lionesses. It is just an incredible story to hear. We're doing all of

that because Alice Obscura is about to publish a new book called

Wildlife. It is packed with stories like these, stories of our strange, amazing

alien natural world.

They will surprise and delight you.

They will make you look at the world as a totally new landscape,

an alien world that you happen to be plunked down into.

So please pre-order the book. It makes such a big difference.

When you pre-order this book, you can also get a really sweet free luggage tag.

You will be the coolest person at the airport.

There is a link to pre-order in the episode description.

Okay, on to the show.

Rick McIntyre has been watching wolves in Yellowstone National Park for the last 29 years.

He gets up in the dark so he can reach the wolves by first light.
