Almost all of this is about wolves in Italy. I don't know if these are a different sub-species, but they're nothing like North American timber wolves; they're small, thin, short-haired, i.e. you will never see the wolf on the cover in the video. You'd have to be a real wolf fanatic to find this interesting.

(From the back cover)

Wolf... archetypal symbol of untamed ferocity and elemental, almost supernatural cunning. Drawn to the chase by the eerie howls of their killing song, the pack forms a single, blood-thirsty entity, bent on relentless pursuit, inevitable capture and swift, certain death.

Journey to the spectacular, isolated mountain realms of Northern Spain, where the last remaining Iberian wolf packs wage a mortal battle for survival. The wolves' legendary intelligence, their lethally effective social hunting skills and awesome powers of endurance are all put to the ultimate test in a life and death struggle against man's most modern weapons - and most primitive fears.

This video showcases the plight of the Iberian wolves, which live in northern Spain. It is about the wolf's relationship with surrounding townspeople. The people hate the wolf and want to eliminate it to protect their livestock. Conservationists want to preserve the wolf. There is little footage of wolves living in the wild. There is a lot of footage of people. Only one wolf hunt is shown: a wolf catching and killing either a hare or rabbit. You won't see wolves hunting wild boar or roe deer in this video.

This is a good video on the history of the wolf and show's how much of a bad rap they get. But its basically about european wolfs. Great video to have if you are a wolf lover, collector.
