Special: Wolves Up Close w/Bertie Gregory

National Geographic filmmaker Bertie Gregory returns to All Creatures Podcast to share the story behind Wolves Up Close, filmed in the bitter cold around Hudson Bay. He shares what seven years following Kona’s pack taught him about how wolves lead and hunt, and recounts a close encounter with a polar bear. Chris and Bertie explore why we love dogs yet fear wolves, how wolf kills feed other wildlife, and what it takes for people and wolves to coexist. Wolves Up Close premiered November 6 in the U.S. on National Geographic, Disney+ and Hulu.
