When Cheryl Alexander heard there were several sightings of a wolf in downtown Victoria, she knew right away it was Takaya.

Takaya lived on the Discovery Islands just off the coast of Victoria. He was a lone wolf. No pack. No mate. And it seemed he liked it that way. He’d chosen a life of solitude. And Cheryl was captivated by him. 

In March, Takaya’s life came to a tragic end when he was shot by a trophy hunter.

We spoke with Cheryl about her new bestselling book Takaya: Lone Wolf, Takaya’s life, his legacy and her special connection with this unique wild animal.
