Photo by Tom Brakefield The purpose of WOLF WORLD is simple: To provide information. There are numerous websites about wolves. But none that we know of offer access to such a wide array of articles and essays written on the subject of wolves over the past twenty-five years. Information is the key to successful wolf advocacy, and you'll find plenty of it here excerpts from articles on wolf history, wolf ecology, and wolf recovery both in the United States and elsewhere. Over several years I have accumulated approximately 1,000 articles from magazines, journals and newspapers. Eventually, excerpts from many of them will be available here along with, when possible, guidelines on how to acquire the complete article from its original source. (See "Resources" for details.) My hope is that those who are serious about wolf recovery will find this site a valuable resource.

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.

After assembling their telescope, booting up their handheld Hewlett Packard computer and unfolding their Crazy Creek camp chairs, the members of the Yellowstone Ecological Studies (YES) group scanned the verdant valley that has been called the"little Serengeti of North America" because of its abundant wildlife population. Elk, bison, and other big game range the meadow on the valley floor as they have for decades, but now things are changing in Yellowstone . After a long absence due to man's near eradication of the species, grey wolves (

Tour de France Preview from Outside Online Introduction Western US Eastern US International ... Conservation Forums ACTIVITIES Hearing Wolves in the Wild Where to Go to Howl With the Pack By Marcus Wohlsen Hearing wolves in the wild is not as easy as it once was. Wolves in North America have been eliminated from 95 percent of their original habitat, mostly owing to human encroachment. Until the 1930s, the US government actively organized wolf extermination campaigns and offered bounties to hunters who killed wolves. The haunting cry of a wild wolf pack howling in the night was once ubiquitous on every continent. To hear it today, you'll need to brave some of the world's most rugged wildernesses. Grey wolf raises the cry. Contrary to popular myth, wolves are not generally dangerous to humans. They are territorial creatures, and if the pack perceives a human presence as a predatory attack, they may try to defend their turf. Human extermination efforts against wolves throughout history, however, have taught the species that fighting people is almost always a losing battle. Wolves will make every effort to avoid contact with humans, which makes getting close enough to hear them an exercise in outdoor perseverance. The world's major wolf habitats today are in Canada and the former Soviet Union, though lax enforcement of conservation regulations in the latter region means that wolves and their environs continue to face serious threats from developers and poachers. The United States is becoming an increasingly hospitable place for wolves to live, with reintroduction efforts in areas like Yellowstone and North Carolina reporting tentative successes.

47. European Wolves wolves. wild wolves are hard to count, so exact numbers are not known.Sometimes radiotracking is used to determine their numbers. http://www.cosmosmith.com/european_wolves.html

European Wolves European wolves, as most all others, live and hunt in packs which are extended families of an alpha (the dominant male), his mate, and their offspring. They usually stay within a home range, but may wander far outside their territory to hunt. They hunt and kill game up to 10 times heavier than their own weight. Wild reindeer, elk, and red deer are their favorite prey. European wolves will also eat much smaller animals such as mice and frogs. Because of the decline in the number of wild game, they have begun to prey on domestic horses, cattle, and dogs. Starving wolves will even eat potatoes, fruits, buds, and lichen. The alpha male and female mate between January and March. The cubs are born seven weeks later in a den dug among bushes or rocks. The male brings food back to the den, either by carrying it whole or by swallowing and then regurgitating it for the others to eat. As the cubs grow, the mother and other members of the pack help to feed them. Few European countries still have substantial numbers of wolves. Wild wolves are hard to count, so exact numbers are not known. Sometimes radio-tracking is used to determine their numbers. European wolves have managed to survive only in the most remote, mountainous, or densely forested regions. Areas in which these wolves can live without coming into conflict with humans are decreasing. There is little effective international agreement about the wolf's conservation. All efforts to preserve the wolf are conducted locally.

48. Call Of The Wild - Wild Wolves In Haliburton! wild wolves! Coming along on one of our wilderness camping trips inAlgonquin Park is a great way to actually hear wild wolves. http://www.call-wild.com/wolves.html

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!

We are both social creatures, longing for pack mates, intelligent, communicative, wild, gentle, playful, capable of great strength, fiercely loyal, territorial, and beautiful. Women Who Run with the Wolves A best selling book by Clarissa Pinkola Estes, Ph.D. It describes ways in which a woman has been tamed, and how she can learn to regain her wild nature once again. A woman told me that she found on the internet a group of women who met regularly to talk about the themes of the book Women Who Run With The Wolves . Women from all over the world share between them their thoughts, emotions, pain, and their strength. They cross the boundaries of language, religion, culture, and race because of the common base that they are women, wild women. "I am addicted to those meetings" she told me. By night, when everyone is asleep in the house, she opens her computer, connects with her friends and she runs with them on their common journey."

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.

Timber Wolf Awareness Week - October 19-25, 2003 Timber wolves before you were born Long ago, the land in Wisconsin provided wolves with the kind of habitat (food, water, shelter, space) they needed. But beginning in the 1830's, many settlers moved to our state and started to change the landscape. They cleared land to put in roads and to build towns and farms. They hunted elk and bison, animals that were part of wolves' diets, until the elk and bison were gone. Animals responded in different ways to these habitat changes. Some animals such as rabbits, quail and deer were able to adapt to the new habitats created around farms. Their numbers grew. Other animals, such as wolves, couldn't adapt to the changes. Their numbers declined.

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.

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.

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.

57. The African Dog Like the wolf, the wild dog has been persecuted unrelentlessly. PAINTED wolves wild DOGS OF THE SERENGETI-MARA. J. Scott. Hamish Hamilton, London. 1991. http://www.botany.uwc.ac.za/Envfacts/facts/african_dog.htm

The African wild dog, also known as the Cape hunting dog, is Africa's most endangered carnivore. The term endangered means that it is in danger of extinction and unlikely to survive if the factors causing its decline in numbers continue. Its endangered status is the result of direct persecution by people. The African wild dog is a gregarious, pack-living animal with behaviour similar to that of the well known wolf of the northern hemisphere. The wild dog has a similar role in nature to that of the wolf in that it removes weak and unhealthy animals from the prey population. Like the wolf, the wild dog has been persecuted unrelentlessly. The African wild dog is a slim, long-legged animal about the size of an Alsatian dog. Its coat is a dappled combination of tan, black and white - each individual having a unique pattern. They differ from true dogs and wolves in that they have only four, not five, toes on each foot. Their large rounded ears are characteristic and contribute to an extremely acute sense of hearing. LIFE IN THE PACK Wild dogs live in closely knit packs of up to 15 adults together with their young. Each pack has one dominant female and one dominant male. Usually only these two will mate and produce offspring. All pack members cooperate in the rearing of pups.

58. 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/wildwolfinfochanges.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.

It has been said wolves are dangerous and they attack humans, when in fact, In the United States there has never been a documented case where a healthy wild wolf has attacked a human, It is very rare when a wolf even comes near a human. Wolves are very social animals that depend on each other for food and protection. Wolves travel in packs which can be as small as two wolves, or be as big as twenty wolves. A normal wolf pack can have a range of territory that spreads up to 60 miles, maybe even larger in certain locations. All adult wolves in the pack share the responsibility of raising and caring for the pups. Wolves are normally afraid of people, and try to avoid them at all times. Wolves have no natural predators, except for humans. Wolves howl to communicate with each other. Wolves know each members howl and use them to locate each other, and wolves enjoy howling. Adult wolves have the ability to regulate their body temperatures to adapt to changes in the weather.
