Abstract:

Northeastern North Carolina, specifically 1.7 acres of the Albemarle Peninsula, has the only wild red wolf mainland population in the world. Twenty-seven years ago the animal was on the brink of extinction, but now the US Fish and Wildlife Service estimates there are between 90 and 110 ten wolves on the peninsula. In this excerpt from her book, titled above, Beeland recounts a night on the peninsula howling with the wolves.
