Alain Masson won't soon forget his Easter weekend, and the pack of wolves he faced down, alone, as the animals encircled him on a remote frozen lake. "I would have expected maybe to see a moose or a caribou on the lake, but I never thought that I would see wolves. Masson is a fast skier — a former Olympian, in fact — but he knew it was pointless to try to flee. A skier on a big open lake is easily scented, so the wolves came for a closer look. Masson's story also suggests some good news for biologists, Hayes says — a pack of 12 wolves is likely doing OK."That's a big pack.
