Our Neighbors in Gray Coats
by Bob Cary
Near Ely, Minnesota, fear of wolves has largely been replaced with interest as knowledge and understanding of wolves have expanded.
Wolf Recovery in the Upper Midwest: Where Do We Go from Here?
by Jim Hammill
Wolves have made an incredible recovery in the Midwest. They have proved that they can live among us, and they are far more adaptive than we imagined. Can we adapt to having them among us?
The Last Irish Wolf
by Damien DeBarra
Centuries ago there were wolves in Ireland, but they were exterminated before the end of the 18th century. Why did Irish wolves suffer this terrible fate?
Challenge and Inspiration
by Walter Medwid
Wolves have it pretty rough. Making a living is no easy task, and the risks of daily life are significant. These past couple of years have also been pretty rough in the not-for-profit sector. Needs have risen dramatically while economic resources have done the reverse.
The Staff That Deliver the Care
by Lori Schmidt, Wolf Curator, International Wolf Center
Maintaining a wolf exhibit requires many skilled and trained handlers, developing long-term relationships with individual animals. So, I'd like to dedicate this issue of "Tracking the Pack" to the Ely wolf care staff, who give their time, energy and creativity to the wolves every day.
Wolves in Switzerland - Wolves Still Protected After Close Vote
by Neil Hutt
Singer/actress Julie Andrews immortalized the "sound of music" in the alpine meadows of Austria, but another distinctive melody now reverberates in the soar ng mountains of neighboring Switzerland. The hills and pastoral uplands of this breathtaking country are not exactly alive with the haunting howls of wolves.
Wolves in Japan - Wolves: Vanquished or Victimized?
by Kevin Short
Few people would think of Japan as a land of wolves. Today, the only wild members of the dog family found there are the tanuki, or raccoon dog, and two local subspecies of the red fox. Also, tales involving wolves are rare among Japanese fairy tales. There are no Japanese equivalents to "Little Red Riding Hood" and "The Three Little Pigs," stories in which wolves are portrayed as fierce and dangerous monsters.
How efficient is a wolf 's digestive system?
Winter Wolf Notes
by Heather Sterling
It's mid-December in the northern range of Yellowstone National Park, and in the early morning chill I wiggle my toes inside my pack boots and stuff my hands, cold in old leather gloves, deeper into my pockets. The Geode Creek wolf pack has just killed a bull elk west of Hellroaring Creek, and I relish the thought of hunkering down for a day to observe these wolves.
Communicating with the Moon?
by Terri Ellman, International Wolf Center Intern
Ahhhwooooo! What is that noise? Where is it coming from? Why is it happening? It is a howl, probably coming from a wolf, and that wolf is most likely trying to communicate with other wolves. Humans communicate in many different ways, such as through sounds, gestures and facial expressions. Just like humans, wolves communicate in more than one way.
Which Is the Real Wolf?
by Rik Scarce
For eight years I have studied people who live in wolf country near Yellowstone National Park and in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. I'm an ethnographer, which means I gather data through in-depth interviews in the hope of furthering understanding\in this case, improving our grasp of the differing meanings that wolf country folk create for wolves.
