Abstract:
There is a Pungee Indian legend that tells why the Lotus, the lovely, exotic flower of the water lily family blooms so profusely on the Alligator River near the Albemarle Sound in eastern North Carolina. Although this flower of thick, waxen petals is a thing of beauty, deep in the center lies a seed so poisonous that it is fatal to those who eat it. This seed was once the cruel and callous heart of Lotus, a lovely but wanton Indian maid.

Abstract:
In 1980, the red wolf was declared extinct in the wild. Breeding programs conducted by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service have brought the animal back. There are thirty-eight places in the United States that conduct captive breeding programs, but the only place in the world where red wolves roam in the wild is in eastern North Carolina on the 1.7-million acre Alligator River National Wildlife Refuge. Daniel discusses the Red Wolf Howling Safari, a two-hour program conducted on Wednesday nights in the summer and on special nights the rest of the year. The wolves are never seen, but sometimes they will howl back at their human imitators.
