Tribal View of Wisconsin Wolf Hunt
by Jerritt Johnston
Ojibwe tribes look at wolves as teachers that show humans how to live on the landscape,
raise young using extended family units, and persevere under persecution. Because of
their intertwined fate with wolves, the Ojibwe have always been interested in doing
what's best for the wolf, which does not include a public wolf hunt in Wisconsin at
this time.
Love Wolves and Hate Coyotes? A Conundrum for Canid Enthusiasts
by Jonathan Way
Coyotes are a lot like wolves. They are territorial, social pack animals, so why are
coyotes widely despised while wolves often enjoy an almost mythical status among many
wildlife enthusiasts?
With Elk and Wolves, Someone is Fibbing
by Todd Wilkinson
Predictions that wolves would decimate elk populations in the Yellowstone region have
not proven true based on comments posted on the Web sites of outfitters, yet these
same outfitters claim wolves have "ruined" the region"s elk herds.

The auditorium at the International Wolf Center looked like the paparazzi had arrived
and were awaiting royalty. In the early morning of that last day in July, the atmosphere
was electric with anticipation of the introduction of our newest wolf pups, Boltz and
Luna, to the Exhibit Pack. Suddenly the buzz of volunteers and staff at the observation
stations ceased as Boltz and Luna took their tentative first steps into the main
enclosure. Within seconds a staccato clicking of camera shutters erupted, breaking
the silence of those who anticipated this moment.

by Lori Schmidt, wolf curator, International Wolf Center

for the 2012 pups. They became the newest members of the Exhibit Pack, which now

Return of the Wolves
Text and photos by Elke Duerr
I wake up in the middle of the night. Howling outside of my tent has taken me out of
a deep sleep, and I am jolted back into waking life, excited and happy. The family
must be really close by. As I am listening attentively and tuning into their presence
on the mountain, I am able to discern two different adult voices, probably those of
the mother and father of the wolf family.

Wild Child, or I Fathered a Wolf Girl
by David Gessner
Recently my daughter and I made the five-hour drive north from our coastal North
Carolina home to the Alligator River National Wildlife Refuge, which is the only place
left in the world where red wolves roam wild. We saw a black bear on the trip and later
went on the scheduled wolf howl walk with the rangers and, sure enough, when the
rangers howled, the wolves howled back, their song more higher-pitched than you would
think, like horror movie screams.
