Wolves (1999)

Though the antagonist in many a legend, wild canines such as wolves and coyotes are among the least understood mammals in North America today. With the help of the National Wildlife Federation, IMAX has created with Wolves a dramatic collection of breathtaking images from air and land of Yellowstone National Park as well as a documentary about the restoration of Canis lupus to the U.S. West. The movie is divided into 12 chapters exploring various aspects of wolves' habitat and recovery from Idaho to Canada's Laurentide Reserve, including one chapter on social and family structures in wolf packs. --Erik Macki
