Cold Warriors: Wolves and Buffalo

Premiere: 2/13/2013 | 00:00:30 | NR

In Canada's vast plains, the biggest buffalo and wolves in the world do battle. Here, one wolf pack struggle to maintain the family business: bringing down buffalo. "Cold Warriors" airs Wednesday, February 13 at 8 PM (check local listings).

About the Episode

For thousands of years, wolves have hunted buffalo across the vast North American plains. Although westward settlement of the continent saw the virtual extinction of these vast herds and their eternal predators, this ancient relationship was not lost altogether. On the northern edge of the continent’s central plains, in a place named Wood Buffalo National Park, buffalo and wolves still engage in epic life and death dramas. By following one pack of wolves, wildlife filmmaker Jeff Turner captures how these two animal species live together in what seems like a forgotten corner of the world.
