His book ''Never Cry Wolf'' (herein NCW) details his arctic expedition. Aided by two Eskimos named Mike and Ootek, he discovered that [[wolves]] were not responsible for the decimation of the Keewatin [[caribou]] herd complained of by white hunters. While human hunters shoot the big, healthy fat caribou, wolves "eat the sick and the weak and the small caribou" (Page 85)

Rather than following the caribou in nomadic fashion, wolves remain within a territory marked-off territory. The female remains by the den with the cubs, while the male goes off at night to hunt. When caribou are not available, wolves can live on mice, ground squirrels and fish (such as jackfish or Northern pike).

*When a wolf decides to go after them he jumps into one of the larger channel and wades upstream, splashing mightily as he goes, and driving the pike ahead of him into progressively narrower and shallower channels,. Eventually the fish realizes its danger and turns to make a dash for open waetr; but the wolf stands in its way and one quick chop of those great jaws is enough to break the back of even the largest pike.  (Page 83)

In his book, Mowat reported that his scientific superior had replaced another man who had been forced into retirement after explaining "his contention that there were fewer deer because the hunters had increased to the point where they outnumbered the deer baout five to one." (Page 9)
