The Topic: Wolves Easier - A wolf is a wild animal that looks like a dog. Wolves are in the same family as pet dogs. Wolves live in remote forests. They hunt in packs and feed on deer, elk, and reindeer. Harder - A wolf is a carnivorous mammal. When hunting, they often howl as a signal to other wolves in their pack. Females have four to six pups each spring. In many areas, the wolves are nearly gone because they were killed by humans. Wolf recovery programs are reintroducing wolves to remote forests. Many people such as ranchers are unhappy about these wolves. They say that the wolves will kill their cattle and sheep. Others see the reintroduction as important in reestablishing a balance in nature.

ASSOCIATED PRESS CODY, Wyo. Dick Geving rarely sees gray wolves on his northern Wyoming ranch, but he is sure that they killed 14 calves last year and have run elk out of the area. If he does see one, he says he hopes he has a gun handy and the right to kill. "If we would be able to use reasonable force to control them, at least we'd have a fighting chance," said Geving, who raises cattle and runs an outfitting business near Yellowstone National Park.

23. Gray Wolf -- Kids' Planet -- Defenders Of Wildlife STATUS Gray wolves are listed as endangered in the Southwest under the endangered Species Act (ESA) and threatened throughout the lower 48 states. http://www.kidsplanet.org/factsheets/wolf.html

Defenders of Wildlife 1101 Fourteenth St. Suite 1400 Washington, DC Tel: 202-682-9400 Fax: 202-682-1331 STATUS: Gray wolves are listed as endangered in the Southwest under the Endangered Species Act (ESA) and threatened throughout the lower 48 states. Wolves in Alaska are not listed under the ESA. Endangered means a species is considered in danger of extinction throughout all or a significant portion of its range, and threatened means a species may become endangered in the foreseeable future. Regions of Yellowstone, central Idaho and the Southwest are designated as non-essential experimental populations, which isolate geographically-described groups from other existing populations and offer special regulations. DESCRIPTION: Wolves range in color from grizzled gray or black to all-white. As the ancestor of the domestic dog, the gray wolf resembles German shepherds or huskies. SIZE: The wolf is the largest member of the canine family. On average, wolves stand 26 to 32 inches at the shoulder and weigh 55 to 115 pounds. Females are usually slightly smaller than males. POPULATION: There are an estimated 7,000 to 9,000 wolves in Alaska and more than 3,500 in the lower 48 states. Around the world there are an estimated 200,000 in some 57 countries, compared to up to 2 million in earlier times.

24. AMNH - Expedition : Endangered In 1974 the wolf was placed under the protection of the endangered Species Act. In 1994, the US Fish and Wildlife Service introduced Canadian wolves into Yellow http://www.amnh.org/nationalcenter/Endangered/wolf/wolf.html

Gray Wolf Canis lupus Threats Hunting, poisoning, persecution, loss of habitat STATUS: ESA ENDANGERED SIZE: Weight: 45-176 pounds (20-80 kg) Length: 40-63 inches (102-160 cm) HABITAT: In North America, forest, mountain, and tundra POPULATION: In lower 48 states of the United States: 2,500 In Alaska: 6,000-7,000 In Canada: 30,000 CURRENT RANGE: Parts of northern North America and Eurasia (map shows N. American range only); becoming more common in Lake Superior states and northern Rockies CONSERVATION: reintroduction plans in Yellowstone, Idaho, and Montana; IUCN specialist groups recommend reintroduction programs for parts of Europe; CITES trade restrictions The gray wolf had the greatest natural range of any living terrestrial mammal other than humans. The gray wolf has recently been downlisted to "lower risk" by the IUCN Wolves inevitably prefer wild game to livestock. In North America, bison, deer, elk, moose, and beaver head the wolf's menu. This underlines the importance of reintroducing natural prey in areas where wolves are being restored. In accounts from the last two centuries, wolves were often begrudgingly admired by their human executioners. Many stories portray them avoiding traps, refusing bait, and dodging bullets. Wolves can make themselves vomit at the first sign of nausea or irritation. Until the development of strychnine, they were considered almost impossible to poison.

25. Endangered Species ............. But all wolves are endangered, and their numbers are declining rapidly in some areas; in other places, with man s help, they are doing better. http://www.geocities.com/thesciencefiles/endangered/endangered.html

Many creatures on earth are in danger of becoming extinct. There are fewer and fewer of them every year. Often the cause is man, through hunting, or killing, or just destroying habitats. Here are a few of the creatures that are endangered, and what's being done to try to save them. Marine Turtles by Jennifer S. Marine turtles live in Hawaii, Florida, and Australia. For most of their lives they live in the water. Marine turtles are endangered due to a loss of nesting habitats to humans. Also, turtle eggs are very valuable; the eggs are said to be superior to chicken eggs. The meat of the turtle is considered a delicacy in some countries. Marine turtles are very vulnerable to raccoons when young, who destroy as much as 70% of the turtles' nests. Other predators are foxes, gulls, and sharks. Sometimes turtles are killed by nets used for catching shrimp or fish, and by harsh chemicals dumped in the ocean. We can help these marine turtles by watching for their nests and not destroying them, not touching the eggs, and not dumping chemicals into the ocean (which also kills other marine life).

Courtesy Monty Sloan, Wolf Park , Indiana. The resurgence began in northeast Minnesota, the only part of the lower 48 states where wolves lived in 1973. Minnesota now has about 2,000 timber wolves, a subspecies of the gray wolf. Wolves have spread to Michigan's Upper Peninsula and Isle Royale in Lake Superior, which now have more than 200 animals. In neighboring Wisconsin, the population has risen from zip 25 years ago to about 250 today, says Adrian Wydevan, a wolf biologist with the state Department of Natural Resources. Wolf territories cover about 6 percent to 7 percent of the state, and the population is rising steadily toward the goal of roughly 350 to 550 animals (the exact goal has not been set yet). Wydevan says wolves have caused little trouble on Wisconsin farms, and ate only four calves in spring, 2000.

Species Survival Commission Ethiopian Wolf Conservation Programme (EWCP) Press release - 31 October 2003 - Addis Ababa Rabies in endangered Ethiopian wolves In the last few weeks there has been an outbreak of disease, confirmed as being rabies, among the Ethiopian wolves in the Bale Mountains. The Bale Mountains is home to the most important population of this endangered species that is endemic to Ethiopia. The current Ethiopian wolf population in Bale was estimated at 300 (of the global total estimate of 500) wolves. Since September 2003, 20 wolves have died in the Web valley within the Bale area. The Web valley is a critical core area that harboured an estimated 80 wolves prior to this crisis. The first possible case was a thin and weak wolf sighted by park staff in August 2003 some 35km from areas in which the wolves live. This sighting was thought to be a dispersing female - such as those that are periodically sighted some distance from established packs. The wolf disappeared before it could be examined by staff of the Ethiopian Wolf Conservation Programme (EWCP). Wolves in the Bale Mountains are continually monitored by staff of the EWCP.

Management Goal And Criteria For Determining Endangered, Threatened Or Delisted The Wisconsin DNR proposes to delist wolves as neither state endangered or threatened when a late winter count of 250 wolves are achieved outside of Native http://www.dnr.state.wi.us/org/land/er/publications/wolfplan/plan4.htm

IV. MANAGEMENT GOAL AND CRITERIA FOR DETERMINING ENDANGERED, THREATENED OR DELISTED STATUS The Wisconsin DNR proposes to delist wolves as neither state endangered or threatened when a late winter count of 250 wolves are achieved outside of Native American reservations in the state. At the delisted level, landowner control on nuisance or problem wolves can occur, and control can be expanded for law-enforcement officers. The state population management goal would be a late winter count of 350 outside of Native American reservations. At the management goal, proactive depredation control can be authorized. A. Background The Wisconsin Wolf Advisory Committee spent a great deal of time developing the delisting level and establishing a population management goal. Four major factors were considered in the development of the population goals: The goal needed to meet or exceed federal recovery criteria. The goal must represent a population level that can be supported by the available habitat. The goal needed to be compatible with existing information on gray wolf population viability analysis.

About NWF Contact Us Search IN-DEPTH RESOURCES: OUR PROGRAMS WHERE WE WORK NEWSROOM Home ... More Wildlife Introduction The gray or timber wolf's story is one of the most compelling tales of American wildlife. Once, the wolf was plentiful in most of North America, but it was hunted ruthlessly. Today it is making a gradual comeback. It plays a vital role in many ecosystems by keeping species like deer in check. Photos: Wolves live in secluded places where they can find large, hoofed mammals to prey on. Latin Name: Canis lupus Family Name: Canidae (Canine) Related Species: The Mexican wolf ( Canis lupus baileyi ) is being restored in the Southwest. The red wolf ( Canis rufus ) is a smaller wolf located in the Carolinas. Estimated Population: There are approximately 2,500+ gray wolves in Minnesota, 321 in Michigan, 335 in Wisconsin, 81 in Montana, 271 in Yellowstone National Park, 285 in Idaho, 7,500-10,000 in Alaska and 57,000 in Canada. In Arizona and New Mexico, there are approximately 25 Mexican wolves. Endangered Status: The gray wolf is listed as a threatened species on the U.S. Endangered Species List. Wolves in the Greater Yellowstone area and central Idaho are listed as threatened, nonessential. The Mexican wolf is listed as endangered, nonessential.

Their reproductive rates are lower than their mortality rates over long periods of time, so their numbers are diminishing. The reasons for this are varied, but lately, very often involves a loss of habitat as people encroach on their living areas. When a species is listed as endangered or threatened, it is not a death sentence. Many animals, like the bald eagle and the American alligator, were on the brink of extinction and are now recovering. Many species, however, will not recover, and could be lost forever. Throughout time, animal species have been going extinct (long before people evolved); paleontologists estimate that well over 90 percent of all plant and animal species that ever existed have gone extinct.

37. SchoolWorld Endangered Species Project: Arctic Wolf The wolf is endangered because man and other wolves hunt it and because of pollution. The problem is that the poachers are killing too many wolves. http://www.schoolworld.asn.au/species/arcwolf.html

Arctic Wolf Submitted by Enrique V. Holy Redeemer Catholic School Kanata, Ontario, Canada Arctic Wolf Source Unknown Photographer Unknown Description: The wolf grows to just over 3ft tall and looks like a german Shepherd dog. The wolf's colours are red, gray, white and black. The Arctic Wolf eats moose, fish, other wolves, polar bears, lemmings, walrus and bunnies. It will attack people and any other animals. Other wolves and humans are the Artic Wolve's enemies. Wolves drink cool water. Their colours blend in with the gray, green and brown colours of the forest. The Arctic Wolf has a thick layer of fur and their teeth are really sharp to help them kill their prey. Environment: The Arctic Wolf shelters is in the forests of the Arctic. Wolves live in Canada from Labrador to British Columbia and in the Yukon and Northwest Territories. Problems: They loose their habitat because of cutting trees, pollution and garbage. At least 196 wolves a year are killed. Solutions: I am trying to get people to save them by encouraging them to write letters to their governments.

A SchoolWorld Internet Education Project Endangered/Threatened Species Report Submitted by Jason La Center Elementary School La Center, Washington U.S.A. Grey Wolf Grey Wolf Altair from Wolf Park pack Photographer: Monty Sloan Original artwork by Jason Description: Height: 26-38 inches [66-97 centimeters] Length: 50-70 inches [127-178 centimeters] Weight : 60-157 pounds [27-71 Kilograms] Wolves range from all shades of gray, tan, and brown to pure white or solid black. They eat squirrels, moose, deer, and other types of smaller and bigger animals. Attacks on humans are very rare to none. The only reason that they would attack a human is if it was isolated. They get their water from any source of water. The wolf's great ability to hunt lies in its determination and capacity to seek out vulnerable prey. Wolves will eat all sorts of food, including small animals like mice, squirrels, large animals like deer, moose, and occasionally carrion and plant material. If domestic animals are around, wolves will prey on them This has resulted in poisoning, trapping, and shooting of wolves. If the wolves are in small packs, they will attack small groups of prey. The gray wolf is part of the dog family, which includes coyotes. The gray wolf looks like a shepherd dog, except their heads and muzzles, are wider and their tails shorter and bushier.

Archives About the Journal About the Editor Free Subscription ... Home Page MEXICAN GRAY WOLF ENDANGERED The New Mexico Game Commission is holding public hearings on the management of the Mexican gray wolf. Conservationists hope to persuade the Commission to endorse the recommendations of a committee of scientists who advised reform of the wolf reintroduction program almost three years ago. The recommendations have been ignored by federal officials. On behalf of the livestock industry, between 1915 and the 1960s, the U/. S. Fish and Wildlife Service poisoned and trapped Mexican gray wolves, reducing their population to near extinction in the United States and Mexico. After passage of the Endangered Species Act the last five wolves known to exist in Mexico were captured for an emergency captive breeding program. In March 1998, in response to a lawsuit against the Fish and Wildlife Service, the agency began reintroducing Mexican gray wolves in the Gila and Apache National Forests. Because of opposition by the New Mexico Game Commission and the livestock industry the Fish and Wildlife Service agreed to remove or kill wolves that set up territories outside the two National Forests - even if they were on other public land. The agency doesn’t have such strict rules confining any other endangered animal in the United States. For example, in the northern Rocky Mountains wolves can roam freely unless they cause a problem.
