Brother Wolf, Brother Raven: A Bird and Mamal Might Have Coevolved
by Steve Grooms
To understand an animal like the wolf, we need to see it not as an isolated species but as an animal intimately and complexly connected to all the species in its world. To me, the most fascinating relationship in the world of the wolf is the one it has with the raven.
Wolf Recovery in the Southwestern United States: How Science Can Help Craft Long-Term Strategies for Success
by Carlos Carroll
Today, a decade after wolf reintroduction, about 1,000 wolves roam the Northern Rocky Mountains. In contrast, seven years after the Mexican wolf was reintroduced to the Blue Range in Arizona and New Mexico, less than 50 animals occur in the wild.
What is the intermediate host of the wolf tapeworm Echinococcus granulosus?
Of Generations and Pendulum Swings
by Walter Medwid
While the persecution of the wolf in America had gone on decade after decade, it was a generation early in the 20th century that truly left its mark. Official government policy endorsed the idea that the only good wolf was a dead wolf, and a brutally effective campaign of poisoning, trapping and shooting took care of the rest.
Captive versus Wild: The Nature versus Nurture Discussion
by Lori Schmidt, Wolf Curator, International Wolf Center
When visitors arrive at the International Wolf Center's captive wolf observation windows, they are thrilled to get a close look at the ambassador wolves that serve as representatives of their wild counterparts. But how representative is a captive wolf pack of a freeranging pack formed in a wild habitat?
WOLVES IN BELARUS
Researchers Begin Study of Wolves in Remote Country
by John Griffiths
Sandwiched between Poland to the west, Latvia and Lithuania to the north, Russia to the east and Ukraine to the south, the littleknown former Soviet republic of Belarus is a small country, about the size of the United Kingdom. Despite its size, Belarus is rich in wildlife and landscape diversity.
WOLVES IN INDIA
Desert Wolves of India
by Corneila Hutt
If asked to identify a major predator in India, most people would probably name the tiger. We think of Shere Khan, the menacing jungle cat in Kipling's mythical story about a child raised by a wolf family. In fact, wolves are also major predators that live in several regions of India, but they are often viewed as dangerous to people. For this reason and because of economic competition, coexistence between wolves and humans is difficult.
Huichol Mexican Wolf Mask
by Jorge Servin
At the international meeting "Frontiers of Wolf Recovery" in October 2005 in Colorado Springs, Colorado, I presented Dave Mech with a special present, a Huichol wolf mask, handcrafted by Huicholes, who inhabit small, remote communities in the mountains of the western Sierra Madre in the Mexican states of Jalisco, Zacatecas, Nayarit and Durango.
Walking on the Wild Side with Wolves
by Tom Wharton
This article originally appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune.
The wolves were gone. But we knew they had been there. Bloodsoaked snow surrounded by ravens revealed a recent kill.
Buffalo Bullies in Yellowstone
by Jay Hutchinson
The old joke that goes "Where does a 400-pound gorilla sleep? -"Anywhere he wants to!" could likely be applied to that majestic icon of the American West, the bison, which is imposing not only in size and weight but also in its herding instincts. Observations of bison behavior in Yellowstone National Park during the past decade show a peculiar in-your-face aggressiveness not only toward their arch predator the gray wolf, reintroduced to the ecosystem in 1995 and 1996, but also toward elk, which have shared Yellowstone range with bison for many years.
Homecomings Mean Big Changes in Yellowstone
Wolves Mean More Willows, and More Willows Mean More Wildlife!
by Kirsten Galloway
Do you know what wolves and willows have in common? In Yellowstone National Park, some scientists think that wolves and willows are the reason more animal species are returning to America's oldest national park after years of being gone.
Artificial Insemination and Wolf Recovery
by Cheryl Asa
Recovery of both Mexican gray wolves (Canis lupus baileyi) and red wolves (C. rufus) has been possible because of captive breeding programs. But captive breeding is not as simple as just putting males and females together and waiting for the appearance of pups.
