Few wildlife stories are as famous -- or as misunderstood -- as the idea that wolves “saved” Yellowstone’s rivers. Wolf biologist and Expedition Leader Aaron Bott unpacks the real story behind this ecological legend, revealing how climate, drought, vegetation and other predators like bears and mountain lions all played roles in the park’s recovery. Drawing on decades of research, Aaron explains what the science actually shows about wolf reintroduction and why the truth, though more complex, is far more fascinating than the myth.
