Bringing Wolves Home: Ed Bangs Wolf Recovery Coordinator U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service "Wolves are a top-line predator. They have a major influence..." NOVA: I understand you helped direct the program that reintroduced wolves to the United States, after years of extinction. Where did you get the wolves? EB: Well, we needed wolves that knew how to make a living in an area like Yellowstone National Park. And so we began to think about where to get wolves that would know what an elk is, how to find one, and how to kill one and where to get wolves that are used to living in cold mountainous terrain. All you have to do is look north of the border and you find that next to Banff National Park in Alberta, and a little bit farther north in British Columbia, you have such wolves. So we contacted the governments of Alberta and British Columbia and asked if they had any wolves to spare. And they said, "We think so, but first we'd like you to come up and tag some wolves and do some preliminary looking to make sure we've got enough." So we did that and sure enough, there were a lot of wolves. The first year, 1995, we got 29 wolves from Alberta, and shipped them into Yellowstone and Central Idaho, and the next year, 1996, we went up to British Columbia and I think we took 37 wolves and brought them down. NOVA: How did you catch them?

Support us! The Colorado Wolf and Wildlife Center is dedicated to educating the public about wolves and wolf hybrids. We advocate wolves in the wild, not the backyard. Through education we teach people how wrong it is to cage something intended to be free. It is a fact that every rescue center in the United States is filled to capacity. The problem of wolf hybrids in the U.S. is seldom heard about, but it is real. We are here to tell you why. "Freedom is the most precious thing in life.

24. Can You I.D. Your Dog With DNA? The genetic relationship of dog breeds, wolves and other wild canids is charted in this summer 1991 article by Ray Coppinger, Ph.D. http://www.kc.net/~wolf2dog/dnaid.htm

Can You I.D. Your Dog with DNA? by Ray Coppinger Ph.D. Editor's note; The following article originally intended for owners of livestock guarding dogs, discusses a study involving several subspecies of gray wolves, coyotes, cape hunting dogs, dingos, and numerous domestic dog breeds. The first puppies we raised were Siberian Huskies and our first customers asked that grand old question, "Aren't huskies closely related to wolves?" Being a novice instant expert I answered in the affirmative. About 12 years later when we began looking at livestock guarding dogs, we read in club newsletters that these guardian breeds are very old, and closely related to wolves. We were told the reason Komondors are so protective is because they are closely related to wolves. Konrad Lorenz once wrote a book called Man Meets Dog in which he said that the German Shepherd is closely related to wolves - and he got a Nobel Prize(no, not for that). I have never been told by Beagle or Poodle breeders that their dogs are one step away from moose eaters, which is too bad because they are just as close to wolves as are Huskies and Komondors. Recent studies have dealt with the relationship between various breeds and their ancestors. Interest is sparked by people who would like to be able to classify breeds into groups such as sheep dogs, hunting dogs, or working dogs of one kind or another. Others are interested in how breeds got their individual characteristics. Theories abound, such as the Mastiff being descended from large Mongolian wolves, the Husky from grey wolves, the bird dog from jackals, and the Indian dog from coyotes. Other theories suggest that dogs didn't descend from wolves at all, but rather came from an ancient wild dog, a Pariah Dog, or maybe a Dingo.

Wild Wolves! These wolves live in a 15 acre compound in the Haliburton Highlands. Much maligned for centuries, these wild animals are still feared and wrongfully hunted today. The reality is, though, that wolves try to keep well away from humans. They are also a critical member of the ecosystem. By trying to reduce their numbers we create new stresses on other species. At the Haliburton Wolf Research Centre we can observe a trio of wolves in their natural habitat (enclosed within a large compound). These particular wolves were born in captivity, but they have never been "acclimatized" to Man, so they are still considered "wild". The Centre has a viewing room that enables us to discreetly watch these creatures at play, or during their feeding times. Since their area is so large it sometimes will take over an hour before the wolves will make an appearance, but since we try to coincide our visits with their feeding days, we are usually assured a viewing. Coming along on one of our wilderness camping trips in Algonquin Park is a great way to actually hear wild wolves. We quite often hear them howling at night from the other side of the lake!

They are the distinct Vancouver Island sub-species of the grey wolf. In June 2000 I ventured out to Vargas Island with the hope of getting wolf photos. I had heard that a dead grey whale was washed up on the beach and that wolves had been seen feeding off of it. I was not prepared for how bold and fearless the wolves were. Their behaviour allowed me to get some spectacular photos of them, but it also alerted me to their history; clearly, they had been habituated to humans. They had been fed by people and socialized to people. Only weeks later these two wolves were dead. In a social encounter gone wrong, one of them approached a kayaker sleeping alone outside of his tent and playfully tugged at his sleeping bag. Somehow in the camper's attempts to scare it away, the wolf became angry and attacked, ripping off a chunk of the camper's scalp. Conservation officers were dispatched to the site and shot and killed both wolves. Autopsies indicated that the wolves were in good health and well nourished. They were between one and two years old, and probably came from a litter that had been born on Vargas Island the previous spring. They played and ran together, shoulder to shoulder, and were almost certainly brother and sister.

34. Wolves In The Wild Generally, wolves prefer wild ungulates, like deer, elk, caribou, moose,bison, musk ox, Dall's sheep, bighorn sheep, and antelope. http://www.grizzlydiscoveryctr.com/wildwolfinfo.html

There are only three recognized species of wolves in the world: the gray wolf (Canis lupus), the red wolf (Canis rufus), and the Abyssinian wolf of Ethiopia (Canis simensis). Both the red wolf and the gray wolf are found in North America, but the gray wolf is larger in size and more widespread in range. Originally, 24 sub-species of gray wolves were recognized in North America. These sub-species have since been combined and reclassified into 5 recognized subspecies, including the arctic wolf (Canis lupus arctos), the Mexican gray wolf (Canis lupus baileyi), the timber wolf (Canis lupus lycaon), the Great Plains or "buffalo" wolf (Canis lupus nubilus), and the Mackenzie wolf of Canada (Canis lupus occidentalis). These names typically describe the coloration of the wolf, or the location where it is found. Although gray wolves are most commonly a mix of tan, white, and gray, they can range in color from creamy white to black. They can inhabit almost any territory, including forests, plains, grasslands, and arctic tundra. In the past, gray wolves ranged through most of North America. They are now limited to Canada, Alaska, Idaho, Minnesota, Montana, Washington, and Wyoming. In 1995 and 1996, 31 gray wolves were taken from Canada and released in Yellowstone National Park. Efforts are also being made to re-release captive bred Mexican gray wolves into the south-western United States.

Red wolves are making a comeback. A recovery program has taken the species from extinction in the wild to a restored population of more than 100 in northeastern North Carolina. But while conservationists consider the program a success, many challenges still lie ahead for the species that once ranged across much of the southeastern United States. "The red wolf is the first effort to restore a predator in the wild after it was officially declared extinct in the wild," said Bud Fazio, team leader of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's Red Wolf Recovery Program. While little is known about historic red wolf numbers, these canids once ranged across the southeast from Florida to possibly as far north as New England and west to Texas. As the country started to be settled by Europeans, hunting and habitat loss chipped away at the wolves. In North Carolina, court records tally bounties paid to wolf hunters from 1768 to 1789. A lone red wolf, a creature that was completely extinct in the wild less than two decades ago, prowls the North Carolina wilderness. National Geographic EXPLORER investigates the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's controversial program to reintroduce the endangered red wolf to the wild.

Following is some background information about the wolves that are radio-collared in the Superior National Forest. The work is being conducted by the Biological Resources Division of the U.S. Geological Survey. Pack sizes vary as wolves die, disperse or return from temporary excursions away from the pack. The "Date Radioed" indicates the date the wolf was first captured and had a radio collar put on. Trapping occurs in the summer. Signals of wolves are often lost when wolves disperse or make excursions away from the pack, and they may not be located on the survey for a period of time, or ever again. Occasionally wolves will switch packs. WOLF Number Sex/Age Pack Radioed Weight Current Status M/Adult Gabbro Received a mortality signal during October 20, 1999 flight. Confirmed dead on October 26.

40. Red Wolf At present, the red wolf is extinct from the wild. Red wolves needbetween 10 and 100 square miles of habitat to hunt and live. http://www.thewildones.org/Animals/redWolf.html

RED WOLF Family: Canidae Genus: Canis Species: rufus Physical Apperance: What color is a red wolf? The red wolf's coat ranges from cinnamon red, gray to black. It is smaller than the gray wolf , larger than a coyote, and weighs 40 to 80 pounds. Habits and Reproduction: Red wolves roam in smaller packs than gray wolves . Most times the red wolf pack consists of an adult pair and their young offspring. Like mexican, maned , and gray wolves, red wolves mate for life. Adults mate between February and March of every year. Two to three pups are born during April or May. Both males and females help raise their young. When the young are about 6 months old they are mature enough to leave home. Geographic Range: Early this century the red wolf lived as far north as Pennsylvania and as west as central Texas. Biome: Temeperate deciduous forest Habitat: The last remaining red wolves live in coastal rairie and marsh areas. At present, the red wolf is extinct from the wild. Red wolves need between 10 and 100 square miles of habitat to hunt and live. Diet: Red wolves prefer to eat white-tailed deer and raccoon, but will eat any available small animal.
