By the late 1980’s and early 90’s, the Gray Wolf reached its population goal of over 1600, which is the minimum to be on the endangered species list. Even so, the wolf remained on and has flourished. It has created larger wolf packs and has expanded onto new territory that was once thought to be uninhabitable to wolves. The one problem with more and larger packs is that the Gray Wolf is a very territorial mammal and will wander tens to hundreds of miles to find prime territory and abundance of prey. With most of the wolf populations residing in Northeastern Minnesota, some wolf packs have been venturing into central Minnesota and Wisconsin.
In warmer areas mating could take place as early as May or June. And in more colder area it could be delayed till July or early August. The female will mate with 1 or 2 males every breeding season. Black bears "breeding style" is very similar to the canine way. The eggs will stay in the mothers uterus until after hibernation which is around late February and March.
Some say that the wolves are not biologically ready to be taken off the endagered species list and still need protection. Should wolves still be protected or should they be allowed to be hunted and killed. The grey wolf The grey wolf ranges form about 4 to 6 feet in lengthe and can weigh up to as much as 50 pounds. It is noticible by its distinct thick fur coat which is outlined with a plethoria of silver and mostly grey. They are born for the mountains being able to tred snow very easily.
It mates early in March and early April. Their gestation last 52 days with litters averaging seven pups but can have as many as 15 pups. The Arctic fox can be found in Northern and western Alaska, Northern Canada, northeast Alberta, northern Manitoba, northern Quebec, Russia, and Greenland. The arctic fox live mostly up North but there have been records that indicate the presence of the arctic fox down south. In the summer the arctic fox lives in the tundra at the edge of forest, while in the winter it can be found on ice floes where its white coat serves as camouflage.
Ashley Wilson Mrs. Thomas Wildlife Conservation (online) 28 September 2013 Gray Wolf the Endangered Species The gray wolf which also goes by the Tundra wolf or Timber wolf is the largest of the Canid family of wolves. The canid family is known to have thirty-five species in its group. Some of which include the red wolf, the gray wolf, gray fox, artic fox, and a few more that inhabit the wild of North America. Though there are several species of wolf, the gray wolf was once found in the Northern Hemisphere. Largest in North America, the gray wolf can range in different colors depending on which forest of Tundra they range upon.
Thanks to captive breeding programs, today 100-120 red wolves call northeastern North Carolina home. This is the world's only wild population of red wolves. Red wolves are primarily nocturnal, and communicate by scent marking, vocalizations, facial expressions and body postures. Shy and secretive, red wolves hunt alone or in small packs. Size of the pack varies with the size of available prey populations.
Killer Whales are marine animals that live in oceans all over the world. Although they live in many oceans, they seem to prefer coastal waters and cooler regions. The Killer Whale, sometimes called an Orca, sometimes enters estuaries, but doesn’t go far from the sea. Killer whales are one of the top predators in the sea. They are good hunters that eat a large variety of fish, squid, sharks, marine mammals (such as whales and seals), turtles, octopi, and birds (penguins and gulls).
Typically, both female bears have two or more cubs. The maximum life span for each bear is 20-30 years in the wild. Brown bears are widely known for their huge shoulder hump and shaggy fur coat, however, the black bear is known for his larger ears, pale muzzle and rounded back. They both can run 30-40 miles per hour. The black bear can climb trees while he is retreating, by contrast, the brown bear has to stand his ground because his claws are too small and improperly shaped, so they must respond to danger by warding off any would be attackers.
Orcas in captivity face premature death, “In the wild they have an average life expectancy of 30 to 50 years—their estimated maximum lifespan is 60 to 70 years for males and 80 to over 100 for females. The median age of orcas in captivity is only 9, and orcas at SeaWorld rarely make it even to the average life expectancy of their wild cousins.”(SeaWorld oh Hurt) Orcas need to swim up to a hundred miles each day but in the parks they are only confined to a tiny pool and forced to swim in the same space their entire life. Being in such small spaces, light has been shed on the fighting between killer whales. “Orcas who are not compatible are forced to live in tight quarters together. The resulting anxiety and tension cause fights between orcas.
Girls: Canadian girls not only drink alcohol and eat bacon but also hunt bears (polar, black, brown or any other colour you can come up with) with their teeth in minus 40° weather - they are hardcore and will tear off your legs if you argue with them. teddy bears (pink, blue, green or any other color you can come up with) are cute and prefer indoor heating to frigid tundra. They too will tear off your legs if you argue with them, but will use a nail file instead of their teeth to do it. Canada is the 11th most obese country with about 24% of their people obese and 55% overweight. You might be ask should we be proud of this?And the answer is yes beacause you still can sit next to other Canadians on an airplane.
