    The Canis Lupus or more commonly known as the gray wolf is the largest wild member in the Canine family. While once covering vast areas of the North American and European continent, the grey wolf was hunted to near extinction in the 1900’s due to mostly folk lore and fear. There were at least 136 confirmed kills between 1914 and 1926, and by the 1970’s biologist could find no evidence of a wolf population in Yellowstone Park. (National Park Service par. 1). Wolves were highly populated when the park opened in 1872 but due to predator control measures, lack of legal protection for the species, and the classification as a nuisance animal all played factors that led to their absence in the park. It was for this reason that the gray wolf was placed on the Endangered Species List in 1974 and it has taken until 2008 and more than 27 million dollars to bring the species back into a suitable population and remove them from the endangered list (Associated Press par. 12).…

Red wolves are on average, five feet long from nose to tail. They’re larger than the coyotes, only averaging three feet from nose to tail. The red wolves, coyotes, and eastern wolf are all from the original “Ancient Wolf”. Since the beginning of wolves, they have been cross breeding to create hybrids. Over time, the ancient wolf evolved into three separate species of wolves. The coyotes have taken over in population and management for controlling the offspring has been bad for years now.

    The wolf is truly a special animal. As the most widely distributed of all land mammals, the wolf, formally the gray wolf (Canis lupus), is also one of the most adaptable. It inhabits all the vegetation types of the Northern Hemisphere and preys on all the large mammals living there. It also feeds on all the other animals in its environment, scavenges, and can even eat fruits and berries. Wolves frequent forests and prairies, tundra, barren ground, mountains, deserts, and swamps. Some wolves even visit large cities, and, of course, the wolf's domesticated version, the dog, thrives in urban environments.…

    Animals such as insects, bears and arctic foxes, have adapted to living in the tundra. For example, since food is scarce in the winter, bears have adapted their diets and will dig up roots or even eat seaweed found along water sides in order to avoid starvation. The arctic fox has also adapted to surviving the climate, such as having thick fur and a good supply of body fat to help keep it warm. The arctic fox also has a low surface area to volume ratio, which means less of its surface area is exposed to the arctic cold and less heat escapes the body.…

    Never Cry Wolf is an American drama film based on Farley Mowat 's autobiography of the same name. The film is about a Government agency investigation of the caribou population, which is initiated because of a belief that wolves are killing those reindeers. The government sends a young biologist named Tyler Smith “to travel to the Arctic, track down a pack of wolves and observe their behavior in detail to prepare a biological report which would scientifically justify extermination of Canis lupus (the wolf)” (Summarized from film Never Cry Wolf, Walt Disney Productions, director: Carroll Ballard, 1983.) .…

    Wolves and humans have been coexisting for hundreds of years. Before Europeans conquered our vast country, wolves held a very esteemed place in Native American culture, as they were vital to forest ecosystems, and were often believed to be spiritual beings in many tribes (kidsplanet 1). As much as they were honored in tribal cultures, others feared them. Children’s fables often described them as “the big bad wolf” in stories such as Little Red Riding hood and The Three Little Pigs (kidsplanet 1). Settlers saw wolves in this way because they were a sort of competition, dwindling stock and wild game numbers (kidsplanet 1). Even into the 20th century, the belief that wolves were still a threat to human safety continued despite documentation to the contrary, and by the 1970s, the lower forty eight states had wolf populations less than three percent of their historical range, about 500 to 1,000 wolves (kidsplanet 1). In a book written by Bruce Hampton called The Great American Wolf, he states,…

    They care for each other as individuals and form friendships to such a degree that they care for each other when a member of the pack is sick or injured, transfer collective knowledge to the pups of the next generation, and, through established roles of each member, communicate with each other effectively and fluidly. Each pack, much like human civilization, has its own individual homeland, history, knowledge, and even culture. Wolf Biologist of 43 years Gordon Haber observed the wolves of the famous Toklat Pack in Danali National Park, Alaska in 2005. He was astonished to experience the Toklat pack analyze the movements of their favorite prey, the nimble Dall sheep, and adjust their hunting strategies to anticipate the agile sheep’s evasion tactics across the slippery Danali slopes, staging an ambush where the sheep would normally escape. He also witnessed firsthand the tragedy of the downfall of the Toklat pack. In the winter of 2005, the Alpha female was caught in a snare. Two other females from the pack…

    Wolf Vs Coy Wolf

    • 1171 Words

    Each and every day there is an animal that walks within the shadows of humans. It often goes unnoticed by most humans, but their population is growing at alarming rates. Many wildlife biologists have said that this animal is the new top predator in the United States. That animal would be the Coy-wolf - a new four-legged hybrid cross between the Western Coyote and the Eastern wolf. With adaptive instincts from the early generations of the Western Coyote and the large skeletal and frame size of the Eastern Wolf, the Coy-wolf is a very new and dangerous species. Rather than preying on smaller animals like a coyote would do, the coy-wolf has the ability to target animals like deer, young moose, and other mid sized animals. With the ability to learn…
