Traveling outside the States? You can watch "Yellowstone Wolves: Succession" from anywhere with a VPN.
As you might expect, it's brutal. The interventions of hunters aside (both legal and illegal), the actions of the pack – with rivalries, exiles, and killings – shows nature to be truly "red in tooth and claw" in the battle for succession.
As appealing side stories there are also leading ladies, schoolyard bullies, wily elders and even rare snow queens as well as a cast of people who continue to support the reintroduction of the wolves into Yellowstone against considerable opposition.
Here's everything you need to watch "Yellowstone Wolves: Succession" online – from wherever you are.

What to know about 'Yellowstone Wolves: Succession'
When did the wolves disappear from Yellowstone National Park? And why were they reintroduced?
A Yellowstone Park ranger, acting in accordance with federal policy, killed the last free wolf in 1926. They were reintroduced thirty years ago to rebalance an eco-system that was out of kilter. They have also become a major attraction responsible for bringing millions of dollars into the communities around Yellowstone every year.
