Canis Rufus Or The Red Wolf

First of all, we should pass the Red Wolf Protection Act to repopulate them. The Red Wolves, are currently with 50 Red Wolves out in the wild roaming the lands. We need to repopulate

The gray wolf is one of the world’s most well known and well researched animals with more documentation on them than any other wildlife species. It is a canid whose main habitats are in the wilderness of remote areas in North America, Eurasia and North Africa. It is the largest member of the wolf family, usually weighing between 70 and 120 lbs, and closely resembles in general appearance and proportions to a modern day breed of dog known as the German Sheppard, although they typically have a larger head, narrower chest, longer legs, straighter tails and bigger paws. The narrow chest of the gray wolf allows for swift and efficient movement through the common elements of their environment such as snow, brush and other conditions. Their larger heads indicate their higher level of intelligence and their large paws, webbed with fur aid in movement across mud and snow. The colour of a gray wolf’s fur lives up to its name and is predominantly a mottled gray although the gray wolf can also have fur that is nearly pure white, mixes of red, brown, or black. Being very social animals, gray wolves do mostly everything in packs of 2 – 15 animals; living, traveling and hunting. They can hunt and feed off smaller game, yet with their large pack size, they can work collectively to bring down large game such as deer, moose or bison. There are 37 recognized subspecies of the gray wolf in total ranging across six continents with familiar names that one

A Gray wolf has a long bushy tail often blacked-tipped. A Red wolf also has blacked-tipped bushy tail. Red wolves often live about 5-6 years in wild and 14 years in captivity. Gray wolves live about 8-13 years in the wild and 15 years in captivity. The Gray wolf weighs about 110 lbs and 2.6-2.8 ft long. The Red wolf weighs between 45-80 lbs and about 4 ft long. These two wolves develop strong social bonds with their packs.

A top predator is one that is not eaten by anything else in the ecosystem, which means they have control over the prey populations in the ecosystem. The red wolf can live in forests, swamps, and coastal prairies, red wolves can thrive in a wide range of habitats. Historically the red wolf ranged from southeastern Texas to central Pennsylvania. Today the only place red wolves can be found in the wild is in eastern North Carolina. The red wolf has gray or black fur mixed with red, especially on its legs and sides. It has a long snout and a long, black-tipped tail. The most common ancestor of the red wolf is the grey wolf, even though the red wolf is very identical to the grey wolf, the only difference that they have is that the red wolf are very endangered in the world today. Though red wolves once ranged across the southeastern United States, years of hunting and habitat loss had driven the species to the brink of extinction by 1970. And since these animals were so close to being extinct there is very little information on how and when the animal

Arctic Wolf aka (polar wolf or white wolf ) Melville island wolves live where few other animals can survive. They have a very unique color due to the location that they live in. There weight depends on where they live some weigh upto 75 pounds other weigh 125 pounds. Some of them are about 3 feet in length but some can be up to 6 feet up in length.They have two thick layer of fur.The outer layer actually gets as winter months come along.The first layer helps to form a waterproof barrier for the sun. There body temperature can stay warm enough even when it is bitter cold . There also have smaller ears than other wolves and their paws are patted so it easer from them to walk on the bitter cold ground. Its believed by most that they evolved

Before Europeans settled North America, Gray wolves inhabited areas from the southern swamps to the northern tundra, from coast to coast. The gray wolf is a native species here in the us, these wolfs can be easily identified by their tracks and physical features. Gray wolves are also known as timber wolfs, and are carnivorous animals. The species was likely extirpated from California in the 1920’s. The Gray wolf also known as the Timber wolf, will live/hunt and do everything in a pack, a wolfs territory may cover 20-80 square miles.

Some species of wolves live in the united states. You may be surprised to find out that they consume up to 20 pounds of meat in a single feeding. When it comes to the actual mating. This is why it is hard getting the number of wolves increase. The body of a wolf allows it to survive a variety of locations. The howl from a wolf can be heard from around it is the trade mark by which these animals are known for. The wolf is one of the best communicators out there when it comes to the use of body language. Sometimes fights over food sources can lead to the wolves having enemies that normally wouldn't be there. The leader of the park is the alpha male and his mate beta female many believe that the social order of a pack is determined by fear and dominance of the one charge. It is estimated that at least 100% of the territory of a wolf pack is covered daily. They

Though once abundant over much of Eurasia and North America, the gray wolf inhabits a very small portion of its former range because of widespread destruction of its territory, human encroachment, and the resulting human-wolf encounters that sparked broad extirpation. Even so, the gray wolf is regarded as being of least concern for extinction according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature, when the entire gray wolf population is considered as a whole. Today, wolves are protected in some areas, hunted for sport in others, or may be subject to extermination as perceived threats to livestock and pets.

The Gray Wolf have had an interesting history of evolution. It is a native to the location of Eurasia and North America. It evolved from the Canis species by its larger size and less pointed features. Its Binomial name is Canis Lupus. It is the only one of its species to have range encompassing new and old worlds of the wolf. The gray world is one of the most researched animals. Also it is one of the best known

As a result of habitat fragmentation and extensive hunting pressure, gray wolf (Canis lupus) populations have declined dramatically in Europe and elsewhere during recent centuries. The natural history of European populations of grey wolf (Canis lupus) has been characterized by a dramatic decline in numbers during the past few hundred years (Boitani 2003). Small and fragmented populations have persisted, but often only in the presence of large numbers of dogs, which increase the potential for hybridization and introgression to deleteriously affect wolf populations.

The maned wolf’s distinct physical characteristics develop interest in most any person that first observes it. Its reddish fur, long muzzle and large pointed ears are reminiscent of the red fox. However, its long, stilt-like legs distinguish it from other canids and make it the largest of them in South America. Because of this characteristic and other genetic traits, the maned wolf is neither wolf nor fox, though its appearance suggests otherwise. In fact, the maned wolf is its own recognized species and is the only species in its genus, Chrysocyon. In addition to its atypical appearance, this species’ behavior and habits make it compelling to study.

Canis Lupus, the Latin term for the “North American Wolf”. A meat eating mammal with the capability of weighing up to 180 pounds and reaching a height of sixty-three inches, the wolf is easily the largest member of the canine family. Over 500,000 wolves once lived in harmony, roaming the Northern Americas alongside the Native American tribes and the rest of the ecosystem. Wolves live in packs, a pack essentially being a family. While the average size of a pack is six to ten, the largest confirmed pack recorded in North America can be found in Yellowstone National Park where the “Druid Pack” numbers thirty-seven strong and counting. There have been alleged reports of a pack that attacked a small Russian town killing thirty horses in just

Reintroduction of the gray wolf to the Rocky Mountains should occur because the relationship between predator and prey is essential to the health of an ecosystem, with the predators helping to regulate the preys’ population. The gray wolf is one of the top predators in the United States. Working together as a pack, gray wolves are carnivores that possess the physical endurance, agility and cooperative action to bring down prey much larger than them (Donnelly 180). Researchers believe that prior to the arrival of Christopher Columbus, 425,000 to 1,000,000 wolves populated the continent (Donnelly 180). By 1936, the wolves were gone from the wilderness of the lower forty eight states. The numbers of ungulate species, the wolves’ primary food source, began to rise

Many have heard of the famous fairytale, Little Red Riding Hood, in which wolves are portrayed as evil beings, that have no intention of affection for humans but instead, the instant thought of hunger, of devouring the individual whole. This story makes one wonder whether wolves are lovely or evil creatures. In Idaho, West America, a lengthy debate is currently being battled out about the gray wolves which now remain in small numbers, reported as 1600. These wolves according to some groups need to be secured, with other opinions that suggest otherwise. Some stakeholders who are situated in the same location and are in favour of the wolves, include the Nez Pearce Indians, wolf conservationists and the Defenders of Wildlife. On the other hand, anti-wolf campaigners, the Ranchers, and hunters oppose the

The article is about the war between wolves and humans. The war is not a literal war it is more one sided. It is one sided because the humans are really the only ones killing. The humans view wolves as vicious predators, but actually they are just territorial and protective. When a human comes to close to a den, the wolf will warn the human to stay away, but if humans do not listen to the signs, the wolf could attack. In 1974, Canis Lupus were declared endangered, but in the 1980’s wolves started to reappear and then vanish again. To help get wolves back into the U.S, game wardens brought wolves from Canada to release them in Yellowstone National Park. This article talks about the “war” between humans and wolves and how they are misunderstood.
