The Atlantic great white shark's comeback; Then, the return of wolves to Yellowstone Park; And, on board Joel Sartore's Photo Ark
Bill Whitaker: What's the most interesting thing you've learned about them?
Great white sharks very rarely attack people. The one that killed a swimmer named Arthur Medici just off this beach last September was the first fatal attack on Cape Cod since 1936. But it triggered a fear of attacks that can hardly be measured. He's got a point. When this white shark's 15 minutes on the Ocearch platform ran out, we were ordered off. They gave him a name, Sydney, for the nearest Nova Scotia town, and began lowering him back into the water.Dr. Bob Hueter: No, because we're-- we're monitoring the stress of the animal throughout.
In the dead of winter, Yellowstone Park is a beautiful, but forbidding place. Howling wind, sub-zero temperatures, six feet of snow. Just finding enough food to survive is a profound struggle for every animal. Waterfowl, bison, elk, foxes, they all have to work for every morsel. Doug Smith: Yes. And it truly has been amazing. And, hundreds of thousands of people a year, we estimate, come here just to see wolves.
Those ten packs of about ten wolves each are without a doubt the most closely observed and studied wolves on earth.They do that by trying to attach radio collars to at least two wolves in each of the park's packs. Doug Smith: And their look is uncontrollable. That look says,"I ain't gonna conform to your rules. And I'll die before I do." And that's powerful.It also helps all those wolf watchers find them. Park service volunteer Rick McIntyre is out every day listening for signals and then spreading the word.Rick McIntyre: Okay, here you go. So it's a little bit right of center.Rick McIntyre: So see if you count them all.
