    Tyler “is dropped alone onto the frozen tundra, where he begins his mission to live among the howling wolf packs and study their waves” (http://www.amazon.com/Never-Cry-Wolf-Amazing-Arctic/dp/0316881791). Because he is without any survival skills and unsure of where to go and start, his adventure almost ends before it even begins. He is attacked by wolves, but fortunately a travelling Inuit named Ootek sees and rescues him. At first, Tyler just tries to survive in unknown environment. He is really scared, so at nights he dreams of how wolves are attacking him. Contact with Tyler’s quarry comes quickly – he notices two wolves. In his notebook, he names them George and Angeline. They have pups and observe Tyler’s behavior just like he observes theirs. He studies the animals day by day and he is more and more enthusiastic about them. The wolves are surprisingly very patient, Tyler becomes the object of their attention and they accept him in their environment. They both accept each other’s boundaries; they indicate that when they mark their territories with urine - this is for Tyler much harder than for “George”. The result is trust and respect between them. Consequently, one sunny day, Tyler discovers wolves’ eating habits – in less than an hour, Angeline catches and consumes 23 mice. There…

    So lets start with where. That's not a hard one to figure out, my evidence: the wildlife, the weather, the people, and their culture. The moose in the film have extremely Canadian accents, so perhaps it's Canada. There was an Orca in the ocean, they are well known for being Alaskan animals. So possibly it's Alaska, for sure it's very northern. There were countless icebergs, that supports the idea of the far north. The people seem to be based on Inuits (native to the general area of Alaska), and they used kayaks, which are not found south of Canada. (The Spokane Indians used canoes.) Therefore I believe I'm correct in stating that, this all took place in either Alaska or Canada, after all they are connected.…
