He recorded wild wolf howls and gradually learned to identify individual pack members and began to realise that wolves are highly intelligent and instinctive individuals that show trust and balance within their pack's social structure.[3][4] He is the founder and head of Wolf Pack Management at Combe Martin Wildlife Park in North Devon where he works with seventeen captive wolves, which include four pups born on 19 May 2008.[1][6] There were originally six wolves at the park which he rescued from private ownership. He also regularly gives educational talks about wolves.[7] In 2005 Ellis spent eighteen months living in captivity at Combe Martin Wildlife Park with three abandoned wolf pups - Yana, Tamaska and Matsi, educating them to be wild wolves and becoming the pack's alpha male.[1][5] Ellis has spent much of his adult life studying and living with wolves and has learned to communicate with them through scent and sound.[5] He currently lives directly outside the wolf enclosure at Combe Martin Wildlife Park, so that he is in close proximity to the wolves at all times.[8] The research projects Ellis is involved with in Poland and Yellowstone National Park in the United States have the goal of developing humane methods to discourage wolves from entering areas of potential conflict with humans.[3] Ellis has stated that he would like to see wild wolves eventually reintroduced into England, where they last lived in the 17th century when the last wolves were killed (see Wolves in the British Isles).[8] Ellis has said about wolves, "Although many people refer to wolves as savage killers, I’ve come to know and love them as family.
