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.
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.
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.
Even more are lost each year to other causes such as weather or disease, 21,100 in 2012, plus 3,600 dead from unknown causes. So of a total of 43,000 head of sheep lost in 2012, 300, or 0.698% were killed by wolves. These facts lead me to believe that wolves are not the threat to livestock that many ranchers make them out to be and. In fact, wolves are beneficial to the ecosystem because they effectively regulate prey populations without the need for human intervention, and to the livelihood of the very ranchers who oppose their reintroduction by removing coyotes (the actual number one killer of livestock) from the top of the food chain. After conducting this research, it is my belief that reintroducing wolves to Rocky Mountain National Park will be of benefit to all parties involved, humans and animals
As time goes on he reminisces of the time he left his father in the snow. As he sat there awaiting his fate, he is surround by a pack of wolves. At first he fights them off, then he just gives up. “All men must die… It was the way of life” (12), so he just sits there and accepts his fate. London uses the plot of the story, the character, and the setting as a great example of the naturalism worldview James Sire talks about in his book, The Universe Next Door.

Desiree Luther English III For more than 100 years, the gray wolf one of the most important members of the Yellowstone National Park Ecosystem, had been missing. The gray wolf was exterminated in the park area by hunters, ranchers, and some of the early park rangers. For several decades park biologists and scientists had discussed the possible reintroduction of the wolf to the park and surrounding areas. In mid-January 1995, fourteen wolves from many separate packs were captured in Canada and then transported into Yellowstone Park and placed into one-acre acclimation pens. The reason for not capturing an entire pack, or packs and moving them into Yellowstone was primarily because it would have been very difficult if not impossible.
The cheetah has suffered from inbreeding, high infant mortality, loss of habitat, a reduction in its prey base, conflicts with livestock farming, and a reduced ability to survive in parks and reserves due to the presence of larger predators. 5. On what continent did the cheetah originate and how long ago? Through the dating of fossil remains, it appears that the cheetah originated in the United States of America in the present-day states of Nevada, Texas, and Wyoming. 6.
In 1914 the United States Congress approved the funding to destroy wolves. Many of the Government bounty hunters decided to help farmers to protect there livestock from the destructive creatures, and ever since there has been a chain reaction in the environment from coyote populations increasing to specific types of vegetation on the edge of extinction . we should bring back the Mexican wolf for a few reasons. Like the affect of the absents of the Mexican wolf for over sixty years. The Mexican wolf has been missing from landscape for over sixty years.
When Buck had first arrived in the North, he watched a friendly dog named Curly get brutally killed by a group of vicious sled dogs, only because Curly was being friendly to Buck. Buck watched as all the other dogs attacked and kill Curly. The tragic death of Curly not only left Buck in a shock of the wolves’ manner of fighting, but left him determined that he will never be put in the same position, but also symbolized his departure from the old, comfortable life Buck had as a pet in a warm climate and in a home. It symbolized his entrance into a new world where the only law was "the law of club and
