Wolf at the windshield: the wild wolf behind the film

Wolf at the windshield is a 10-second AI-generated film: a wolf appears at a car window at night. It is digital cinema, not footage from nature and not a record of how wolves behave. The scene is a "what if". The animal that inspired it is very real.

Gray wolves in a few lines

• Gray wolves usually live in packs, which are most often a family: a breeding pair and their offspring.
• They are long-distance travellers and can cover large areas while hunting or moving between territories.
• Howling helps a pack stay in contact across distance and mark its presence.
• Wild wolves generally avoid people. Close encounters are uncommon, which is exactly why a film can make one feel so tense.

If you drive through wolf country

1. Slow down at dawn, dusk and night, when many animals are on the move.
2. If an animal is on or near the road, stop at a safe distance and stay in the car.
3. Never feed wildlife or leave food out. Animals that learn to link people with food can become a danger to themselves and to others.
4. Follow local wildlife authority guidance; it is written for your area.
