Go a little further up and
take a slight right, it’s there.

More or less.

Look if you see a trail to pass.

If not, just take the best.

I talk a Spanish
“of the streets”.

It’s sure better
than my Italian.

So you’re Marcos' student.

Yes, from the University
of Granada.

Never in my life did I imagine

I'd be doing wolf autopsies
in the Alps and now...

It’s almost one a week!

That’s the fact of the matter.

In fact, this is a luxury.

Good for the wolf, of course.

If it dies,
it's because it’s there.

This is an opportunity
that possibly

no other place in
the world has to offer.

How do you plan to
set up the experiments?

We’ll be observing
corpses with camera-trapping,

from when the animal dies
until it finishes decomposing,

focusing in particular

on that carnivores
and scavengers,

are the ones who
are going to feed on it.

This also has many
ecological implications,

and epidemiological, such
as with the trichinella parasite

and many other diseases
that are transmitted,

either through
the trophic route...

With trichinella,
you touch me deep in the heart.

Trichinella is an old love.

Yeah. Trichinella
and also scabies.

Another love.

In a couple of years,
I was thinking of retiring.

So, if we decide to do it,
we have to plan it well,

plan it quickly.

What we’ve seen,
especially in the fox,

is that the fox is very reticent
to eat fox carcasses.

There’s a Spanish
saying that goes

“a dog doesn’t eat a dog”.

In Italy it’s similar.

And we want to see if the

pattern is the
same for the wolf.

You think a wolf
would eat another wolf?

How do you imagine that?

It's one of the big
questions of our work

and one of the components
of this “Landscape of Fear”.

The wolves are always here.

They’re clever,

because they’re
residents here at the Alp.

They know the movements...
Briga!

Get out of there!

They know what I do,
but I don’t know what they do.

Apart from the fact they eat
my sheep and goats.

How many Maremma
dogs do you think

you need to protect
so many sheep?

I’ve got six at the moment,

but they’re there
and they’re not there.

They often fight...

And like right now, for example,
I’ve got a female in heat

and the males make a ruckus.
They don’t take care...

They live their lives. They
won’t take orders from anyone.

They like the ladies
and go after them.

Give me a hand
to grab that black

nanny-goat there who’s so good...

Easy, easy...

But this one isn’t
your girlfriend, right?

No, that’s the black one.
As soon as I walk in...

Now she’s dry,

otherwise she’d have
come to bite my ears.

She’d be going crazy, because

she wants to be
one of the first.

You’ve got good taste, though.
She’s pretty.

You like her, right?
- Yeah, I like her too.

Beautiful, black, shiny.

If they grab that one...
- If they grab her...

You’ll get pretty mean,
I think.

I think so too.

Her like all the others.

You know, you raise a baby goat,
a lamb, you bottle-feed it.

You put it in the caravan,
you bottle-feed it all night,

then you go to
pasture and they kill it.

We press “on”.
We check the direction’s right.

There you go.

Let’s give it a try.

Let’s go see how it’s made.

More or less this height.

- If you can hold...
- I’ll hold this for you.

Slow, slow, slow!

We lay the bait and
the various odors,

which the dogs have to find.

In the dynamics
of nature everyone

has their own way
of seeing things.

For many people still, the
world of animals is associated

with a kind of
Disneyland culture,

with the dynamics
we've seen in cartoons.

From a practical perspective,
nature has

mechanisms that
aren’t linked to fantasy.

Nature isn’t Disneyland.

Well done, Ciccio!

Well done, Gilio!

Not on the tap, you beast!

Come, Luna. Run underneath.

Look for it,
come on. Search well, Luna.

Search well... Search, search...

Search, search...

Good girl! Very good girl!

Well done! What a good girl!

Very good girl!

Where is it? Well done!

Very good girl! Well done.

Good girl. Where is it?

Well done! Very good girl!

Ready to search?

Sit!

Search!

Between shepherds you
exchange photos, pics, right?

Sure we do. I don’t
post them on Facebook.

Everyone would always say
“how beautiful is the wolf”...

For goodness sake,
the sheep’s beautiful too.

Let’s look at some
pics of preyed sheep.

They’re not too
pretty I don’t think.

No. How many images
have you got?

I've got a trailer load of them.

Look at this one.

Sheep with a busted leg.

It killed the sheep,
then look at that...

Tell me if animal
rights activists

would find it a pretty scene.

We can’t just say
“what beautiful

wolves”. What about the sheep?

The sheep are my livelihood,
they’re my family.

That’s a strong image.

For refunds do they ask you to
retrieve the ear tag too, or...?

When I find the
sheep I take a picture,

especially of the ear tags.

But in this case,

the problem... on
the one hand it's a

blessing and on
the other it's a curse.

Griffons help us
clean up the sheep.

Otherwise I’d be an undertaker
as well as a shepherd.

If I had to dig a hole
for every dead sheep,

I’d be a full time undertaker,
then who’d graze the sheep?

But the griffons eat the ear
tags too. Look at this photo.

I found the shit of a wolf
and the ear tag intact.

Intact.

You can read it just fine.

The indemnity isn’t so high, right?

For one sheep,
you were saying 100 euros...

Yes, just over 100 euros,

if it’s pregnant, they might
give 20/30 euros extra.

I don’t know right now,

because the money
hasn’t arrived, there

isn’t a chart. I can’t
tell you anything.

Here we are.

Damn phone!

Look at it.

- A male.
- Yeah, a male.

Look at him.

It’s more or less
where they said.

The bend.

There’s a mark on the street, blood.

They ran him over.

His paw’s broken.

His front paw’s broken, right?

The joint’s dislocated,

the bone’s out.
- He was coming from there.

He was probably
crossing the road,

they got him on the downhill.

Yes.

There’s a mark here.

Not too long ago.
Probably early this morning.

It’s recent,
because the blood there

is only just beginning
to change color.

Fetch the basin.

He’s bruised all over.

I’ll take a couple of pictures.

I’ll fetch the basin.

Okay.

Yes...

Already taken some photos?

Done.

Have you taken a
close up of his paw?

Hello? Hi, Luca.

It didn't go far.
It was on the side of the road.

We found it there,
it crossed and...

there were blood marks,

it had several fractures,
its front leg for sure,

also its chest.
Looks like they ran over it.

The landscape of fear.

The landscape of
fear is made up of

those resources or
those circumstances

that form a higher
risk for certain species.

The animals in the field
learn little by little.

The sites that are safe.
The sites at risk.

So, an herbivore, when it
sees carrion, it thinks “damn”!

It’s very likely that a predator
will come sooner or later.

Risky!

No, they didn’t come
to clean up.

We can’t reach it, right?

I’ve reached the site.

One thing. I have put
markers on the route.

Be careful!

Falling is not
allowed at this place.

Also this carrion

represents a risk
for the scavengers themselves.

Especially if the corpse
belongs to its own species.

Probably because it has a higher
risk of transmitting diseases

to the eater.

For a wolf

it’s riskier to eat
the corpse of a wolf

than the carcass of a deer.

Because it has more parasites
in common with that wolf corpse

that can infect it.

This is the broad context.

And it’s what Dani
is doing his doctoral thesis on.

Please guide me,
because I'm looking down.

20.9 Kg

So it doesn't all get
covered in blood.

This is another adult.

“The reintroduction of
the wolf in Andalusia.”

At least we tried
with dead ones.

The ones "asleep"! "Asleep"!

Sergio caught
near a sleeping wolf!

Can you look for some bark?

Bark to cover the camera.

That's why you
also have to put...

Yeah. I was looking for
a stone here, but here...

Keep in mind that the snow

doesn’t cover
anything in the end.

Sure. It's going to melt.

You have to cover it. Though
it’s well camouflaged now.

We will also treat these corpses

with different secondary signs
of the presence of predators.

We’re going to use wolf urine,

fox urine or no urine at all

on several of these
corpses to see,

what difference there will be

in the behavior of the
species approaching.

And of course,
for this it’s important to have

urine.

As you talked about urine.

How to deny you this gift.

Fresh, fresh wolf urine
from the other day.

Perfect. This comes
from a necropsy, right?

It’s from an animal that was
taken to our faculty hospital.

Unfortunately, it died.

How did you collect this urine?

During the necropsy or before?
While it was alive?

During the necropsy
which was done immediately.

It’s very clean.
Usually it has a lot more blood.

What a gift!

It looks good, huh?

We spray the urine on

something close to the corpse,

simulating what could be
a natural marking of a wolf.

He already carried enough stuff!

It’s much more
comfortable than it seems.

Look at their wool
compared to the others.

It’s because they’re
getting ready for winter.

Lambs born yesterday
or two days ago.

Is the lamb heavy?

See how heavy they are?

Too right.

And smart too.

That’s why I always say it’s
better if only one is born.

Look at these sprayed ones.
Twins. Tiny, two make up one.

If they're born alone,
they're strong!

See? I marked them,
then I ran out of spray.

If they're born alone,
they're strong, powerful.

Sure.

Their ears kind
of freeze. If you

touch them, the tips are frozen.

What with the
temperatures we’ve had...

You were talking
about rheumatisms

before. Worse than rheumatisms.

Worse than rheumatisms,
too right.

The money for the
wolves hasn’t arrived yet.

So, you haven’t
received the money

from the attacks of 2021 yet.

I mean, we have
to deal with the wolves already,

then we have to wait
for a damn public notice,

which is a waste of time,
then you have

to wait for the money
for our animals,

who’ve been killed by them.

The end of year wolves.

Wait, put it there, Luca.

And two...

And we earn our way to paradise.

These are the
first animals with an

odd phenotype that
have arrived here.

We’ll take a look at them now...

a little closer.

So T368 is the one over there.

The other one, yes.

This one is T353.

Let's start with the
so-called “blond ones”.

This is T365.

Good thing we’ve
got Mauro with these

tags, because when
you get so many...

- It becomes dramatic.
- Yes.

How much did this one
weigh? Did we weigh it?

No, not yet. This one hasn’t
been on the scales yet, no.

It's peculiar, it’s got
a black-tipped tail.

The tail is really
a wolf's tail.

They’re not... hybrid packs

generated from the reproduction
of a wolf with a dog.

These that we’re seeing,

they are dispersing hybrids

that arrive and then become
breeders in a pack.

So, obviously,

I mean they’re wolves
at the behavioral level, etc.

But, do you think...

And where do they
come from? Who knows?

I think from the Apennines.

In terms of acceptance,
the fact that

they’re hybrids
and not wolves...

does that make them
even more problematic, or...?

I think hybridization has always
existed at the historical level.

I also think that when
populations decreased

in the 1950s across Europe

and there were a
lot of stray dogs.

Very few wolves
and lots of dogs.

We wouldn’t have
any more wolves today.

So, it's definitely a phenomenon
to be controlled, etc.

Saying that hybrids
are selected favorably,

from what we see in populations
on a global scale...

perhaps that’s not
the case, because otherwise...

Otherwise, they’d be
hugely predominant.

Makes sense, right?

We have to say that these blond

ones in our house
are taking over.

They have litters with some
blond and some normal.

The thing that
remains most wolf-like

in an animal
like this is the tail.

Don’t you think so? Luca?

It's the most wolf-like
thing that remains.

Short... this tail
here is a wolf's tail.

The issue of
hybridization interests us

to understand who
the hybrid breeder

that has integrated
into a pack is,

the one who produces
other hybrids, which

are the animals
we want to sterilize.

Were the cameras stolen?
Were they touched?

All good!

The Italians are...

For now, no problem.

I'm sure some people will appear
in the videos.

Let' see.

Fortunately or unfortunately,

people reach every
corner and in the end...

There are people everywhere.

Let's see if they’ve
noticed the cameras.

There’s a time for mushrooms,
a time for deer antlers.

There’s always a good reason
to go into the forest.

Dogs are also largely to blame

for some corpses that are found.

Because dogs detect a lot
with their sense of smell.

I'm looking forward to seeing
what's going to come out.

Hey, a chamois.

Look at the robin.

Looks like a chicken,

and this is one of the parents
who’s feeding it.

With the worms of the corpse.

It's getting some hair.

Carnivore hair is especially
good for nest building.

We don't really know why.

Is it because it scares
away predators?

Because it has a special smell?

Picking hair from
a live wolf is risky.

- Are you okay?
- Yeah.

Look at it here.

It’s some beast, right?

It’s some animal.

Let’s have a look.

An adult.

What a nice...

A bit of snow on top.

You know...

the other day at the children's
workshop, the "Life" workshop,

where you can ask kids questions
out of curiosity,

and you ask them how
much a wolf weighs,

and they said
"80 kilograms, 100 kilograms"!

Oh really?

But not just the kids,
the adults too.

This must be Luca again.

They probably never
reach more than 30 kilos.

Too right.

Hey, Luca. Hi.

In this situation,

it's an animal with
clear-cut signs.

Somebody shot it. No doubt.

It's got a hole inside,

probably from a rifle shot,

because it went right through

and the animal didn't budge,

just dropped right there.

Sadly...

Especially this time of year,

when it’s snowy...

animals tend to stick
close to the road and...

What a luxury to
be able to look out

at a bit of the Alps
from the comfort of an office.

What do we hear in this video?

A very strange metallic sound.

There’s a person
looking for metal objects.

They’re probably people
looking for war remains.

Brothers fighting over food.

This one looks like an adult.

It has no white color.

He would have liked
to take it off, but...

The corpse isn’t cooperating.

Look how it’s protecting
the corpse with its wings.

It's strange, because
it’s a fairly thick forest.

...for a golden eagle...

They normally fly very high

...to detect the corpse.

Ventura is the wolf
with the radio collar.

She is a “helper”.
A so-called helper

is an animal that
stays with the pups

and assists the dominant pair
in raising them.

If you look here,

Ventura's tracking
points give us a signal

that she has some 'fixes,'

specific points
here in this valley.

If there’s any response,

I want you to mark the time...

whether they're pups, adults,

how many repetitions...

So, I’ll start with the
briefest and lowest.

If I can manage it.

What a spectacle!

Three.

Four.

Pup.

More than one pup...

Two.

Tuesday, 30, May.

Look how great the
bear was this morning.

Shall we have a beer after?

Yeah. We can
have a cigarette too.

During one of my
first wolf-howlings

in the protected area of the
Capanne di Marcarolo Park,

I was alone at night,

and they replied immediately...

There were at least
five or six adults.

They were all around me.
I was on a rock. Alone.

It's not like I got scared,

but I wasn't completely
at ease either.

Even though you
know they're not...

Then I remembered
a story a friend

of mine, a cameraman, told me.

He was in Africa with a guide...

Here.

- Thanks.
- You’re welcome.

...and an elephant
began charging towards them.

The guide lit a big cigar

so that the elephant
could see the flame,

and the elephant stopped.

So my friend said to me

“sometimes a smoke...

can even save you."

Can even save your life.
- In cases like that...

Rare cases, but it can happen.

Let's pretend this
time it saved you too.

Let’s get these nails cut, so...

you can go to the mountains
and you’ll be all right.

At the moment, no wolves.

It looks like a rope. Right?

Yes.

A fox approaching a wolf.

It always approaches
with a certain respect.

I think it's trying to open up

a possible escape route, right?

"Yes, just in case the
wolf wakes up!"

How cautious!

It’s already gained confidence.

Their fear of the
corpse is quite clear.

Yes, a lot of respect.

Oh, they’re finally eating it.

This one also
seems to be eating.

It seems less scared.

Maybe this one
has already come by

near the corpse several
times before eating.

It’s interesting
for both of them.

What a strange way to fight!

This would be true happiness
for an ethologist.

They’re very peaceful
when it comes to fighting.

It’s burying it.

I guess it's to hide the corpse
and eat it later.

"Caching behavior."

Finally! Look!

Three wolves.

Look at it, look at it. At last.

We’ve got them at last.

At the moment,
it seems they’re not eating.

Let’s see if they eat or not.

Even though they’re sterilized,
their behavior hasn’t changed.

It hasn’t changed much.

Their nature is always the same.

The other week we also had some
roe deer picked up on the road.

And we fed them those.

That’s another great thing,

because all the animals
that have had accidents

would be a problem to
dispose of, but at least here...

"So they also change the taste".

That works.

He’s recovering well
after the operation.

The muscles still
have to get better.

Yeah, the muscles
need to recover a bit.

Let’s get this unlocked.

It’s amazing,
he won’t come and grab

the piece of meat
a bit further away.

- It has to be nearer to him?
- Yes, it’s crazy.

If you put it further from the

grass, he won’t come
and grab it.

He’s already marked his
territory, where it feels safer.

He feels safer there.
Figure that.

They called and they’re
coming to take him back...

Next week, I think.

Next week, yeah.

They’re taking him back
where they found him.

Come Briga!

You are sending
Briga to the wrong side.

This is the wrong side.

Holy damn!

Come Briga!

Come Briga!

Come Briga!

Come Briga!

Come Briga!

Come Briga!

Haven't you got them yet?

They all want to be clever.

He's a lame dog,
it's the way he is.

Well done, Virgilio!

Very good, honeybun!

Very good doggy! Very good!

Well done,
Gilio! You’re such a good dog!

You’re wonderful!
You’re wonderful!

You’re such a good dog!

Virgilio. Sit!

Rubbing against a corpse?!

It’s a great risk.

They’re all corpses
we store frozen.

Freezing becomes lethal for
mites within a very short time.

The camera image isn’t great.

What are they doing?

They’re so angry!

Easy, easy, easy, easy!

I guess they
thought it was alive.

I can't explain that anger.

It’s as if they were
teaching their babies.

It's exactly what
we’re looking for

"the landscape of fear."

Stop!

A mushroom hunter
saw a dead animal.

From the description,
it’s definitely a wolf.

Let’s go, with them,
and fetch it and figure out.

It's off the road, so I
don't think it was run over.

The animal may also have been...

we’ll need a
necropsy to see if it

ate a poisoned
bait or something.

It wouldn't be the first time.

Take Luna down.

Ready, Virgilio?

Come, Luna! Come on!

Hey, Luna. Hi!

Well done!

So... Are you ready?

Shall I turn around?

Search for it, Luna!

If I need to make him search
somewhere more...

We’ll search here on the left.

Come, Virgilio.

Go! Go!

Come on!

Luna!

Good boy, Gilio. Well done!

Wow. Very good!

Very good!
- Come on, Luna. Search!

This way? Okay.

Very good.

Wait, it needs to throw up.

Go, go!

Come, Gilio. This way...

Search! Come here!

Follow me, Luna.

This way.

Very good!

Good boy!

Very good boy!

Well done, cutie pie.

Good boy.

Sit...

Well done, Gilio.

Well done.

What is it?

Well done, sweetie.

Very good.

Good boy.

Try coming up too?

Well done, Virgilio.

Yeah, come here.

Come, Luna.

Very good.
Wait, I’ll move away.

Search, Luna!

Good girl!

Come on, come on!

Where is it?

Let’s go, this way.

Come along, Gilio.

No, Virgilio!
- Come on, Luna.

We mustn’t run away from...

Come on, search.

Do a good search.

Well done, munchkin.

Look! Where is it?

What have you
got there? Look at it.

Where is it,
Luna? Have you found it?

Damn.

Luna, where is it?

You want to run away?

You’re scared of
the wolf, right?

Virgilio too.

Is it there?

Look, what a pity.

Damn.

In the end, quite a few people
are showing up on the cameras.

I hope they don't find them.

In Spain we had some problems.

They’ve managed to steal
the fifth battery from us.

I went to buy another one,

a solar panel one.

Because now we're heading to the

mountain,
at least it’ll recharge.

It cost 570/580 euros.

Really expensive!

I had to get it,
because otherwise

we won't have
electricity for the fence,

if we go up and
wolves are around,

they’ll keep eating our sheep.

At least we’ll have electricity,
and voilà.

I know, this is the fifth
battery they've swiped from us.

Nice job, huh? Goodness.

That's how it is.

Yes, I bought it
there from Giacchetti

in San Giglio.

That's it.

Okay, then.

We'll talk later.

Ok. Bye.

Hi Luca, how’s it going?

I’m calling you because we found
a dead wolf,

and it’s probably
another poisoning.

From what I can see

it has the signs
we usually find.

It’s a young
dispersing animal too.

The farmer called me. He said:

“Come down,
they were here last night...”

I’ll give you a signal
if I see anything.

Okay.

Animal behavior is changing,
because...

they’re alert,

after a while they start
figuring what it means...

The wolves do a fine job.

They do “the wolf”, their job.

A bit like ours now. Even if,
in the end,

our objective is different.
Wolves do it for food.

Anyway, the high density
of wild boars

causes a lot of
damage to agriculture.

With the African Swine Fever,
ASF, too,

we'll have to carry
on for some time.

Lots of roe deer, look.

In the end...

You see them
everywhere at night.

There’s a good number
of roe deer, right?

This one’s recent.

Snout marks from not long ago.

Look, there too.

So, it means they’re back.

It’s fresh.

Yes, but they don’t
attend our appointment!

They’re all pretty fresh.

There we go.

The cage is still there,
but they haven’t been in.

It’s all still well set up here.

It went well tonight
because they

were right there
where you indicated.

The important
thing is to find them

and then try to get them,
because...

we’re quite desperate here.

I noticed they messed
up your field again.

Unfortunately,

I have to repair the damage now,
otherwise...

Of course, I understand.

We’ve got this problem of
ASF too now, as you know.

1, 2, 3, 4...

5, 6, 7.

Oh, God.

8, 9.

Look at that, it’s moving.

Come on. Oh my...

Yes, it’s them.

We’re about 500
meters away here.

500 meters.

Oh dear, my heart is...

Are you sure they
won’t attack us?

My heart is racing.

Can’t be sure.

We’d be the first
to be attacked.

You’re responsible, you know?

I’d never have gotten
into this by myself.

With you they don’t
get much to eat.

We’re at about 100 meters from
them and they’re still calm.

Shall we go further?

We may as well now.

They’ll eat you first anyway.

That’s what I’m scared of.

That’s why I gave
you the Pulsar.

Let me lean on your shoulder.

Perfect. Stop there.

I won’t breathe.

Stop there, Luca.

Beautiful.

Don’t breathe. We’re motionless.

Dead quiet.

One is now looking
in our direction.

The heads of the
others are rising ...

like mushrooms.

Let’s go another
20 meters forward.

I’ll be right behind you.

They’re waiting
just for one person.

God, my heart is...

They’re absolutely unafraid...

of us approaching.

A few more meters forward?

Hey, Aurelio. No.

Let’s try at least
10. Dead slow.

So we get a better definition.

They think we should stop here.

Enough.

Yes, enough. They’re leaving.

Oh my...

That was something.
- What a trip.

Crazy stuff.

What a trip this evening.
- I’ve got the chills.

Oh my...

Are you going out tomorrow,
Aurelio?

Have you got people to take out?

I’m supposed to guide
hunters for a male deer,

but as you can see,

when you come across
a pack of wolves like this one,

guiding hunters
becomes more difficult,

because the animals
aren’t so calm anymore.

So hunting is
much more difficult

compared to when
we didn’t have wolves here.

A pain in the ass of a job!

Damn! Luca! Two of our
cameras have been removed.

What hurts isn’t the cameras.
It's the information in them.

Too bad! But if you want
to see it in a positive way.

People find out very little
from the carcasses that we put.

This aspect is becoming
more and more evident...

Wolves killed...

- By other...
- By other wolves.

Conflicts between
different packs.

This is 403? 402?

- Yes 403...
- Thanks.

So, the series continues.
Over 400, Mauro.

It’s an impressive number.

We began with number 1...

It hasn’t been that
many years either.

So, reaching this level means

that, especially for
our findings,

which are not the total...
- True.

Who knows how many
animals are around

compared to the ones
not found on the roads.

At least 10 or even 15.

That could be the ratio.

It would be
interesting to know.

Yes.

What’s also
interesting is the fact

that when we have
cases of this kind,

as you saw last time,

they’re very often
dispersing animals.

So animals just over
a year and half of age...

That’s a difficult
period of their lives.

At last they’ve arrived.

From 2021,
they’ve paid me for the sheep

on May 12, 2023.

But if I'd had the sheep,

who were already pregnant
and about to give birth,

I'd have had my lambs.

I'd have bred the females,

and in the meantime,

the next year
they'd have given birth again...

maybe some of
them would've given

birth three times in two years.

And I only got the
money on May 12...

a real mess, meaning the
money was just sitting there.

But you got some
attacks last year too, right?

- Is that money idle too, or...?
- No, that money...

the other day I
went to the bank to

pay something for
the Cosman, and...

I don't exactly remember

if September 1st
or September 2nd, 2023...

Anyway, those funds arrived,
the money for 2022.

Let's hope that
deal works out.

Let's hope so.

In 2022,
they changed the prices.

They’re finally giving us
some reasonable payments.

Like what?

Some sheep around €180.

Some goats are even a
bit over-estimated, €360.

And the black one,
your girlfriend, where is she?

My girlfriend’s gone,
our wolf buddies ate her.

- Really? Her?
- Yeah, really her.

One day when I had the
goats closed here in the nets,

the wolves arrived,
frightened them

and they killed
my little Blackie.

This is Ventura,

who was in the
pack we listened to

during our last
wolf-howling session.

The one with the radio collar?

Yes, the collared one
in the “Life” project.

It’s the first case,
to my knowledge,

of self-accusation.

The person who shot the animal

turned himself in
to the Carabinieri.

A unique case.

To my knowledge,
it’s the first.

So, what was reported? That
this person felt threatened...

by the wolf?

He told the
Carabinieri in Sassello

that the wolf
approached his house.

His wife was
outside with the dog,

he heard screams,
went outside and saw his wife

with the wolf who was
trying to bite the dog.

He went into the house,
took his rifle and fired.

- It’s a buckshot rifle, right?
- Buckshot, yes.

They’re unconventional weapons,
they’re prohibited for hunting.

Poachers use them.

No doing today, hey?
Well, it’s not Friday, so...

I’m coming.

It’s broken.
They go in and come out.

They go in and come out.

I can take my shoes
off and go inside.

I would have killed them
with the smell of my feet.

I'm coming...

They’re going towards the wall...

Go! Go!

Throw it out!

I’m glad.
A different menu today.

- Different, okay!
- Good, good, good.

So, we’ve caught one,
we can prepare it.

You talk about wolves,

but you’re an even
meaner predator.

Et voilà.

Come on.

What kind of number
would you find acceptable?

They mustn’t kill them at all,
but...

Well, yeah.

If they have to kill some,
I'd expect to lose

about fifteen,
no more than that.

It always depends
on the size of the flock.

Sure.

Because if it’s
for private use,

like my friend Pietro Ferrero,

who’s got 15 sheep,
and they kill 3 or 4,

that’s not good for him.

They shouldn’t kill them,
but that’s their nature.

2% is what you’d expect, right?

Yeah, no more than that.

What a beauty, hey?

Look at this beautiful trout,
it’s still moving.

Now it’s come alone.

Look at the way it’s sniffing.

I always wonder
if they’re smelling the corpse,

or our smell on the camera.

This specific camera had been
in place for weeks.

So I think it must
be the corpse.

But at the moment
they’re not eating.

So it seems like a
dog doesn't eat a dog.

Yes! Yes!

A fine day!

Et voilà.

Oh my, oh my.

What a rotten deal, huh?

Another one over there.

Great. That makes two.

With all the sheep
and the lambs over there.

And with the
Maremma dog there too,

it's not like there are no dogs,

but they still get
them if they want to.

Oh my...

This one belonged
to my friend Angelo.

It’s not even one of mine.

It’s been a fine
day today too!

Holy cow.

What a fine job!

What can you do?
It’s the way it goes.

A pain in the ass of a job.

Get away from there!

Gineiver, what you been up to?

Didn’t you do anything?
Were you asleep?

Were you asleep
instead of watching the sheep?

Well done!

Well done!

That shepherd who had to
take his animals to pasture,

animals at the end
of their season, old ones,

which he needed to dispose of.

It’s a great opportunity
for them too,

so they get rid
of the carcasses...

It’s a small help for them.

It’s amazing the way,
when they hear you come...

Yeah,
they’re already operational.

Look at it! Look at it!

Finally! We have it!

Finally, they’re eating it.

Finally, they’re eating.

So a dog does eat a dog.

From our point of view, finally.

Oh, yes!

Even if only in a few cases,
wolf does eat wolf.

Which shocks us a little.

Due to the associated risk.

That’s why it’s the
landscape of fear.

This may be the moment
when trichinella is transmitted.

Definitely, yes.

A large portion
of the wolves that

test positive for trichinella,

have it in small quantities,
more compatible with

eating a wolf or a fox

but not large amounts.

Now I can retire in peace.

Holy cow...

Let's hope the day
works in our favor,

and the wolves don't come to
get our little sheep as usual.

Happy birthday to you...

It’s all meat!

Happy birthday to you...

Happy birthday dear Luna,

Happy birthday to you.

Blow.

Ready!

Keep it attached.

Perhaps yes, otherwise...

At the table, she behaves well.

She knows she
can’t eat at the table.

She’s a lady!

Come along.

Come on, one more shot.

Come on.

Get out. Nosy!

Hungry?

How’s your belly? Nearly full?
Come along.

Where are you going? Come here.

You have finished.

Come on, you’re pretty full now.

Hi, Luca.

When we speak there’s
always a problem.

Hello? Hi, Luca. How’s it going?

Usual things...

Hi, Luca.

Well, look... Luca?

Luca, are you...? Sorry!

The estimated number
of wolves that are run

over or killed illegally
each year in Italy.

The number is underestimated.

Due to the death of
the she-wolf Ventura,

Jerry and his team are no
longer able to locate her pack,

which includes hybrid wolves.

Ventura was killed
in “self-defense”.

The Court dropped the charges
against the man who fired.

Two dead sheep.

One...

and two.

The officially ascertained
number of farm

animals killed by
wolves each year in Italy.

The number is
greatly underestimated.

Approximately two
million euros are paid

in compensation to
farmers each year.

But Giorgio is facing a bigger
problem than the wolves.

From 22°C to -5°C.
I wasn’t expecting

such a climate
change on August 28.

3, 4 of them are still
there in the snow.

That one makes 5.

6... 7...

8 and 9.

10, 11.

12. That was Ugo’s goat.

A little new-born lamb.

13.

14.

15. 16.

17. Silvia’s daughter.

18, 19.

This is Angelo’s goat
and his nanny-goat.

20, 21, 22, Heidi.

23 this sheep

and 24, this one
against the nets.

A fine fucking climate change.

Hi, Mauro.

I need to tell you one thing.

I have now reached
retirement. I’m 67

and I wanted to
thank you for all

the things we’ve done together.

But I hope that

what will unite us in the years
to come won’t be dead wolves,

but living wolves, because
those are the ones we love

and, in the end,
those really are...

“our wolves”.

For the retirement of my
PhD supervisor. Luca Rossi.
