Rendezvous in a Rainforest
by Chris Darimont
In the heart of the "Great Bear Rainforest," a nearly pristine, but largely unprotected, temperate rainforest on British Columbia's mainland coast, biologists are studying the area's apex carnivore–the gray wolf–with the hope of finding ways to preserve this animal and other coastal life.
Crying Wolf in Central Asia
by Carter Niemeyer
In November 2003, Carter Niemeyer, wolf recovery coordinator for Idaho, visited the central Asian republic of Kyrgyzstan to assess the problem of wolves preying on domestic livestock. He found that Kyrgyzstan's "wolf problem" is much like wolf problems in the United States.
A Midnight Visitor
by Walter Medwid
One of the great parts of my job is the necessity to work out of our two offices. I spend most of my time in our Twin Cities office, but during the year I make numerous trips to our flagship education facility in northern Minnesota. The trip north to Ely is more than the 250 miles. There is the transition in ecological zones from the broadleaf forest to the mixed forests of the north, where coniferous trees and spruce bogs command a large presence.
It Takes a Pack to Raise Pups
by Lori Schmidt, Wolf Curator, International Wolf Center
Raising wolf pups in an educational facility like the International Wolf Center takes a dedicated, trained wolf care team with a protocol in hand; pup nannies willing to spend time, energy and resources to travel to Ely, Minnesota, and care for the pups; and a warm, dry nursery for the pups. Fortunately, the International Wolf Center has all of these.
Wolves in India - The Ancient Wolves of India
by Yadvendradev Jhala and Dinesh Kumar Sharma
In today's explored world, it is indeed a rare event to discover a new species of mammal, especially that of a large carnivore. When this happens to be a wolf–the most studied of the carnivores–the discovery is as thrilling as it is surprising. The Indian wolves, which were in plain sight, yet whose origins were elusive to scientists, are the source of this surprise to wolf biologists throughout the world.

Ellesmere Island Journal
Text and photos by Rolf Peterson
I was sound asleep when Mary yelled, "Rolf! A wolf!" I sat bolt upright and fumbled around for my eyeglasses and binocs. Fifty yards in front of the tent was "Mom"! Mary had had trouble staying awake and had feared she might miss a wolf coming through [the mountain pass].
Wolf Wanderings: Where Next?
by Jay Hutchinson
Wildlife researchers have documented for years how young gray wolves disperse to find a mate and territory not occupied by other wolves. The farthest documented distance that a wolf has traveled from its home pack is 548 miles, from northern Minnesota to Nipawin, Saskatchewan.

Wolf Pups: On the Way to Grown Up
When wolf pups are born, they are nearly helpless. They can't see or hear, and weigh only one pound. In their first months of life they grow and learn a lot. Here is a list of events or changes that a wolf pup experiences in its first year of life, but they are in the wrong order. Can you put them in the correct sequence?
A Historic Wolf Plan for Oregon
by Amaroq Weiss
In 1999, wolves and history came calling again. The dispersal of wolves from Idaho into Oregon spurred four workshops, 15 town hall meetings, extensive legal briefings by the state attorney general's office and, finally, the March 2003 announcement that the state would develop a wolf management plan.
