Living with the wolfman

MANILA, Philippines - To wolf expert Shaun Ellis, wolves are not only his work, they are his family.

For years, Shaun has been sleeping, eating and living with wolves at the Combe Martin Wildlife Park in Devon, England, successfully infiltrating the pack and becoming its peacemaker.

By immersing himself in their social hierarchy, Shaun’s ultimate goal is to promote a greater human understanding of wolves while helping to successfully re-integrate wolf populations around the world. Shaun has surrendered himself to the idea that he will grow old with only the wolves by his side — that is, until Helen Jeffs came into the picture.

Join Shaun and Helen and find out what it is like to be part of the pack in Animal Planet’s new series Living With The Wolfman. Premieres Monday nights at 10 beginning April 6. Encores are on Tuesdays at 3 a.m., Saturdays at 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. and Sundays at 1 a.m.

Helen is Shaun’s girlfriend — his “human love.” She completely accepts Shaun’s peculiar lifestyle and the sacrifices he has made for the wolves. Helen is just as passionate about Shaun’s mission and the wolves. For the past three years, Helen has been volunteering with the wolves; but now for the first time, she will attempt to be a part of the pack alongside Shaun.
