THE WOLFMAN - CHANNEL 5 - TONIGHT - 8PM

[lupestripe]

Sorry for the short notice. Here's the synopsis:

Fearless Shaun Ellis has been living with wolves for years; he feeds, sleeps and even thinks like them. Using behaviour learned from his pack, he now rehabilitates orphaned pups and enables them to live in the wild. But can Shaun's unique knowledge be used to save a group of Polish sheep-poaching wolves from the farmer's wrath?

It promises to be an interesting look at lupine communities, social heirarchies and their way of life starring a fur who has quite evidently failed to come out of the closet...

already on it buddy. I have a feeling that most of the furries in the UK are sat doing the same thing right now.

Lol you're probably right. I saw far too much of myself in that film, particularly for a nature documentary. Still am pleased I can do a good wolf hehe.

The scientific research was really interesting and it can only be hoped it can be adapted so that wolves and humans can live in harmony (although I would argue against the ability for humans to live with anything in harmony). Like many ancient superstitions that have since proved unfounded or at the very least exaggerated, the fear of wolves has lasted into the modern age and it is to be hoped that that can be erradicated through this type of research.

Plus he pretended to be a wolf! Closet fur!! :P

ARRGH!! I forgot to text my mum and remind her to tape it for me...****!! I saw them film part of the documentary and met Shaun too, I really wanted to watch it. Hmmm, since it is a National Geographic film (techincally) then perhaps it will be on the NatGeo Channel on Sky sometime. Or perhaps I was lucky and somebody recorded it for me.

Btw, a few pics from the day:

Ooh cool! Did you get much chance to talk to him? He seems a really interesting guy - why were you down there, to film him?

And how scenty was he? *sniff* :P

Yeah...about 2 mins to quickly chat to him. I was there because I wanted to see the wolves, and he works there as well. I originally was hoping to hear his talk about the wolves, but they said that it was cancelled because they were filming, so I sat around for 3 hours watching the film crew, it was good fun.

And yes, his odor was extremely wolfy. *Grins*
