WELCOME TO A SMART PROJECT! The following project is currently under progress by Rhode Island teachers. Although in some activities, the teachers have borrowed and adapted ideas from other teachers and current programs and sources on the Internet, the work is their own. The activities are displayed here in their original form , unedited as they have submitted them. In most cases, these are ongoing projects. The names, school districts, and email addresses of the authors are included. Please feel free to contact the authors with any suggestions, comments, or even participation.Teaching and learning are cooperative efforts. WILDLIFE, WOLVES, ENDANGERED SPECIES PROJECT OVERVIEW: Veazie Street School is an Apple Lighthouse School. Each classroom is equipped with Macintosh computers and there is a computer lab. All of the computers in the building are networked. Children and teachers at every grade level will have the opportunity to use the Internet to access resources and information from around the world. The purpose of this SMART project is to provide Internet locations that are available to teachers for further exploration of themes included in The Providence School Department Literacy Curriculum Guides. Reading, writing, listening, speaking, science, math and social studies are integrated in thematic units within the curriculum.

Home Games Jigsaw Puzzles Why are Wolves endangered? main page There are many reasons why wolves are endangered, Most people used to be afraid of wolves and thought they were dangerous to humans. For a long time, people would get money for bringing in a dead wolf. This was called bounty hunting (between 1850 and 1900 more that a million wolves were killed. In 1907 the call was given for the total extinction of the species.) People also use to poison wolves, poisoning is probably the main reason there are so few wolves left today. Myth and Superstition The Middle Ages in Europe was a time of growing enlightenment and crushing superstition. A belief in werewolves was widespread. The Roman Church exploited this sinister image of the wolf and, during the years of the Inquisition, used the peoples' fear of werewolves to maintain secular control. When the European settlers arrived in America, they brought this dark wolf of their imaginings with them. In contrast the indigenous people of North America both admired and emulated the wolf. The Native Americans respected the wolf's hunting abilities and honored him because he provided food for the community at large-the fox, the coyote, and the raven.

Updated July 2000 The wolf in the contiguous 48 United States has long been on the federal government's list of endangered species, which includes both threatened and endangered populations. In Minnesota, the wolf is considered by the federal government to be threatened, whereas it is considered fully endangered elsewhere in the 48 states. In Alaska the wolf thrives in such numbers that it is neither threatened nor endangered. Classifying the status of animals is a judgment call. In some cases, the judgment is easy. For example, the California condor population includes only a few remaining members and is clearly endangered. With other species, such as the wolf, the situation is far more complex.

Why are Wolves Endangered? There are many reasons, Most people used to be afraid of wolves and thought they were dangerous to humans. For a long time, people would get money for bringing in a dead wolf. This is called bounty hunting (between 1850 and 1900 more that a million wolves were killed. In 1907 the call was given for the total extinction of the species.) Famous Wolf Bounty Hunters Ben Corbin. Ben Corbin was a hunter who worked the Dakota Territory and was responsible for the deaths of hundreds of wolves. He was also the author of Corbins; or The Wolf Hunter's Guide, a book published in 1900 that became the bounty-hunters' bible. Corbin called the wolf "the enemy of the state." Roy T. McBride. Probably the most famous modern-day trapper is Roy T. McBride, who was responsible for trapping Las Margaritas in Mexico. Las Margaritas. This wolf was one of the last outlaw wolves, taken in 1970. Las Margaritas was named after the ranch of the same name in northern Mexico, a favorite haunt of the wolf. He had lost two toes on his front left paw, and was leery of efforts to trap him for many years. Roy T. McBride finally caught the wolf after almost a year of efforts McBride was the trapper chosen by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to live-trap the last few wolves in Mexico for the Mexican wolf captive breeding program. He is probably the only bounty-hunter to possess a master's degree in biology.

7. Timber Wolf In 1975, the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources declared timber wolves endangered. A wolf research program was initiated in 1979. http://www.dnr.state.wi.us/org/land/er/factsheets/mammals/wolf.htm

Timber Wolf Canis lupus) Legal status in US: 2003 Numbers in Wisconsin: Length: 5.0-5.5 feet long (including 15-19 inch tail) Height: 2.5 feet high Weight: 50-100 pounds/average for adult males is 75 pounds, average for adult females is 60 pounds. Description Habits Food Breeding Biology ... Timber Wolf Main Page Description The sound of a howling timber wolf is becoming a more common event in Wisconsin. A growing population, of wolves now live in Wisconsin, one of about a dozen states in the country where timber wolves exist in the wild. Timber wolves, also called gray wolves, are the largest wild members of the dog family. Males are usually bigger than females. Timber wolves have silvery gray-brown backs, light tan and cream underparts, and bushy tails. In winter, their fur becomes darker on the neck, shoulders, and rump. How can you tell the difference between a timber wolf and a coyote or a large dog? Size is a key difference between coyotes and wolves. A coyote is only half as big as a wolf. Wolves can be distinguished by tracks and various physical features. A wolf and other wild canids usually places its hind foot in the track left by the front foot, whereas a dog's front and hind foot tracks usually do not overlap each other. Wolves also differ from most dogs by having a narrower chest, longer legs, large feet, large head with cheek hair tufts, tail held down or straight but not curled, black tipped tail, and black spot on back of the tail.

10. Most-Endangered Wolves May Be Saved By Vaccine This is a news story brought to you by nationalgeographic.com and the National Geographic Society. The Ethiopian wolf (Canis simensis) is the most endangered species in the group of animals known http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2002/09/0927_020927_wolf.html

Sign up for our free e-mail newsletter Also see: Today's Top Stories This Story E-mail this story Sponsored in part by Most-Endangered Wolves May Be Saved By Vaccine John Pickrell for National Geographic News September 27, 2002 The Ethiopian wolf ( Canis simensis ) is the most endangered species in the group of animals known as canids. The biggest threat comes from rabies and other diseases carried by dogs in the wolves' mountainous habitat, but researchers now think it may be possible to develop a vaccine that could dramatically help the species' survival. Based on a complex computer model, the scientists say it might be possible to prevent the wolf's extinction by vaccinating only 20 percent to 40 percent of the known populations. The elegant and long-legged animal with reddish-orange fur lives in the alpine regions of Ethiopia, 10,000 feet (3,000 meters) or so above sea level. It is also known as the Simien jackal or the Abyssinian wolf. The Ethiopian wolf has become so rare that any rescue plan must be implemented soon, researchers argue. Claudio Sillero-Zubiri, a zoologist at the University of Oxford in England, said only seven populations of the wolf remain, totalling less than 500 adults. That figure "makes the species even rarer than gorillas, giant pandas, tigers, rhinos, and most other large mammals," he noted.

var cm_role = "live" var cm_host = "tripod.lycos.com" var cm_taxid = "/memberembedded" ~Hello,Welcome To My Den The wolf has been one of the most misunderstood and mistreated animals in all of history.It seems to be a never ending battle,for these precious wolves to try to survive. The main reason ranchers claim for the past slaughter of the wolves,was to keep the wolf from intruding on farm lands,livestock,etc. The truth of the matter is,the need to make the wolf their prized trophy,played a major role in the wolves rapid decline thru out the decades. In the past the wolf has been hunted down and torchered out of fear and ignorance.In the present the torcher still goes on,so does the ignorance. There were bounties put on the wolf. Wolves were deliberately infected with a parasitic skin disease,(to control the wolf population). At one time wolves were burned alive. In the present-there's still illegal shootings of the wolves. There are wolves who are shot legally,due to so called "damage control". A new sport: That has become quite popular,is chasing wolves by snow mobils,when the wolf is so exhausted from the chase,they shoot the wolf.

A Project of: Defenders of Wildlife 1130 17th St, NW Washington, DC 20036 Just when gray wolves are roaming free again in America, some want to strip federal protections from many of these magnificent animals. This would make it easier to kill wolves throughout most of their historic range in the Lower 48 states. A new federal rule classifying gray wolves in most of the Lower 48 states as merely threatened rather than endangered has just been announced by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. It's the first step by Interior Secretary Gale Norton toward putting wolves under the control of states where politicians want to eradicate these magnificent animals. Wyoming's state wildlife agency has recently gone on record to allow wolves to be killed like skunks or jackrabbits. Idaho's legislature has voted to remove wolves from their state "by any means necessary." And some Montana politicians want to let citizens shoot wolves on sight by the end of this year. Speak up for wolves. Once all but wiped out in the Lower 48 by extermination campaigns, wolves are just now struggling for survival again in the wild. But they need protection for their fragile recovery to continue.

15. Arctic Wolves - Pictures, Breeders, Arctic Wolf Babies Facts about the endangered status, habitat, range, and diet of this mammal. Includes photos. http://www.arctic-wolves.com

Arctic Wolves The Cree of Canada once called Arctic wolves Mah-eh-coon, and believed that when the Northern lights shone, heavenly wolves would visit the earth. Photo credit: webshots © 1995-2003 Twofold Photos, Inc. The Arctic wolves (Canis lupus arctos), a subspecies of the gray wolf (Canis lupus), are very similar to other wolves. They live and hunt in packs, have a social hierarchy, and hold territories. They differ from other wolves in their habitat, appearance, and prey species. A low density of prey in the Arctic requires these wolves to have territories of well over 1,000 square miles, much larger than their southern relatives. The main prey of the Arctic wolf are musk oxen, and arctic hare, but they will also eat Peary caribou, ptarmigan, lemmings, seals, and nesting birds. Permafrost in the Arctic makes it difficult for the wolves to dig dens. Instead, their dens are often found in rock outcroppings, caves or shallow depressions in the tundra soil. The mother will give birth to 2-3 pups in late May to early June, about a month later than the southern subspecies. On average, the number of pups raised in the Arctic is lower than the average 5-6 pups born to wolves further south. This lower number may be due to scarcity of prey in the Arctic.
