Tyler (Never Cry Wolf)

Tyler is the protagonist of the 1983 film Never Cry Wolf. He is a Canadian biologist without any survival skills, yet brave enough to study wolves in their environment.

Role
Tyler is sent to the desolate Canadian tundra to find out whether the local wolf population is responsible for decimating Canada's caribou herds. Helped by Ootek, a local Inuit native, Farley Mowat manages to establish an observation post and, while braving the harsh climate, begins to study a family of wolves, as well as the caribou. He eventually determines that the greatest danger to the caribou doesn't move on four legs.
