Cutting Teeth
by Leslie Schutte

A Brief History of Wolf Research: Part I
by Steve Grooms
In the young field of wolf research, each new research tool or technique has allowed scientists to find answers to new questions about wolves.
Gray Wolves Heading to California
by Michael McCabe
A proposal by wolf advocates to designate a region in Northern California as suitable wolf habitat has angered local residents, particularly sheep and cattle ranchers.
What are the jaw pressure and number of teeth of a wolf compared to a human's?
by Walter Medwid
Despite the challenges we are facing in these belt-tightening times—especially for the not-for-profit sector—I am particularly pleased that the International Wolf Center is proceeding with several initiatives that will strengthen our education work in support of wolf survival.
Caring for the Center's Wolf Pack
by Lori Schmidt, Wolf Curator, International Wolf Center
Many visitors inquire about the daily care that the International Wolf Center's wolves, MacKenzie, Lucas, Lakota, Malik and Shadow, receive. Their care is defined in the Center's Wolf Curator Manual, which includes detailed protocols for staffing, training, safety, wolf handling and facility maintenance.
Wolves of Canada - The Wolves of Algonquin Provincial Park
by Neil Hutt
On an August evening, 1,600 people gather at a campground amphitheater in Ontario's Algonquin Provincial Park. After an information session, a long motorcade winds through the darkness to a designated spot, where the visitors park and climb carefully out of their vehicles. No doors are slammed; everyone speaks softly. They have come to hear a sound that for centuries has inspired awe and fear, reverence and hatred—the howling of wolves.
Wolves in the United States - Testing Tolerance: Wolf Y-206 and the Legacy of Yellowstone
by Neil Hutt
She has a rap sheet and a reputation as a livestock killer. Her mate is dead, and as the winter of 2002 turns slowly to spring in the Northern Rockies, Wolf Y-206, the breeding female of Montana's Gravelly pack, is alone. The breeding male was shot legally by federal wildlife officials in spring 2001 after the pack killed 35 sheep near Ennis, Montana.
Wolves in the United States - Wolf Reclassification in the United States: An Update
by Nina Fascione
If the past 30 years of wolf conservation efforts in the United States have taught us one thing, it is that nothing is simple when it comes to this species. The current tortuous process is the federal reclassification of wolves under the Endangered Species Act. Despite the release of a proposed reclassification plan more than a year and a half ago, the final rule has yet to be released.
Open Wide!
by Kelly Burns
Remember your last visit to the dentist? Were you sitting in a big moving chair, light brightly shining, the dentist peeking into your mouth to examine your teeth? A dentist checks to make sure your teeth are healthy. Each tooth has to be inspected since each one plays an important job in how you eat your food.
Dogs: A Startling New Understanding of Canine Origin, Behavior and Evolution by Raymond Coppinger and Lorna Coppinger, Scribner, 2001
by Jakki Harbolick
In Dogs: A Startling New Understanding of Canine Origin, Behavior and Evolution, Raymond and Lorna Coppinger offer, by turns, charming personal narrative, objective theoretical treatise, and harsh ethnocentric criticism. Serious readers should prepare themselves to be entertained and educated, among dogs' now-extinct ancestors were some that were genetically predisposed to living near human habitations.
Wolf Management Zoning versus Human Management Zoning
by Dean Johnson
As a land use planner, I am familiar with terms like land management and zoning. These are regulatory tools that have been constitutionally upheld in this country for more than a century. I was initially bemused upon seeing an article on "wolf management zoning" in International Wolf magazine. Then I recalled that this regulatory concept was initiated by Congress over a quarter-century ago.
