Abstract
One of the interesting and unsettled problems about predator-prey relations concerns the degree to which predation is selective of the weak and the sick. Efforts to resolve this issue have suffered from lack of specific data. My husband Cris and I were privileged to watch many attempts of the Alaskan wolf (Canis lupus) to catch barren ground caribou (Rangifer arcticus). The purpose of this paper is to record some of our observations.Keywords
