“The ultimate guru of wolf behavior.”

— Jane Goodall

Rick McIntyre is the author of the award-winning "Alpha Wolves of Yellowstone" book series for adults and the "Chronicles of the Yellowstone Wolves" book series for children (with co-author David A. Poulsen). Internationally recognized as one of the world's foremost experts on wild wolf behavior, his scientific insights and storytelling about the Yellowstone wolves have been featured on This American Life, in the Washington Post and Wall Street Journal, and dozens more media outlets. His books are currently being adapted for a feature film with Stampede Ventures. He has spent more time observing and documenting wolves in the wild than any other person. A retired National Park ranger, McIntyre has spent more than forty years watching wolves in America’s national parks, twenty-five of those years in Yellowstone, where he has accumulated over 100,000 wolf sightings, worked on the Yellowstone Wolf Reintroduction Project, and educated the public about the park’s wolves.
