Essay On Relocating Wolves

study was done after the United States Parks Services brought wolfs back into the parks after 70

On May 3, 1995 female wolf number nine gave birth to eight puppies, the first wolves to be born in the park in nearly 70 years. The mother and pups were recaptured and taken back to the acclimation pen, until the pups were weaned (Sanders par. 15). The reason for this recapture was because at this time, this wolf and her eight pups counted for almost 50% of the park’s wolf population. Since this time there have been no other human interventions preferring to let nature take its course on the population.

For one, by 1980, wolves doubled to 50. By then it was apparent, ‘balance of nature’ seems to be the force that guides nature. This shows that wolves should be introduced because they are needed for balance

Through the history of empires and populations, power has controlled most things on Earth. Many people have gained power through their gender, social class, and race. Harper Lee’s novel To Kill A Mockingbird exploits many ways that one gains power. Mayella Ewell struggles to obtain power since she is known as the poor girl in the small city of Maycomb, Alabama. Mayella does not have power through her gender or low social class; however, she has power in regards to her race since the novel is set in Alabama in 1933-1935 where segregation was a serious issue between blacks and whites.

The gray wolf, also known as the timber wolf or western wolf, is a generalist species and can be found in North America, Canada, Europe, and Asia. The gray wolf is a very diverse species, able to withstand different environments. The gray wolf can thrive in forests and woodlands, grasslands, desserts, and even the tundra. In the United States, this species is mainly found in the northern states such as Michigan, Wisconsin, Montana, Idaho, Oregon, Wyoming, and Alaska. Other states include Arizona and New Mexico where they were reintroduced to a protected parkland.

Gray wolves live all over the world where they feel safe. Their homes which are called habitats if they don't they will die from hunger or starvation. Abi Cushman said “They move from one habitat to another habitat.” Abi Cushman said “The gray wolf is a large canine, and is a relation of the domestic dog.” Gray wolves can be found in wild areas of Eurasia, North America and parts of Africa.

Though wolves are one of the most researched and studied canines of the animal kingdom, many people are still cautious of the wolf and its behavior and is considered a safety threat to people in many urban and suburban areas. Recorded eradication of wolves can be dated back to the 1700’s hunted purely for their furs, though the complete eradication of wolves begins in late 1800’s after western settlement began to expand to Colorado, threatening valuable livestock. In defense, hunters and trappers supplied themselves

In “Scared to Death” by Ed Yong and Sharon Levy’s “Wolf Family Values,” we read about the need to protect the population of wolves in North America. These two articles have very different ways to go about this. Ed Yong talks about the wolf effects on elk as well as the rest of the environment. Levy’s approach is about wolf social structure and how it is impacted by hunting. Both of these make some valid points on why more conservation efforts should be made; however, I believe Ed Yong made the stronger case.

For a number of years the wolves were not missed by most people, the ranchers and farmers were happy to have the pests gone. Coyotes,

Long before the settlers started to make the United States their home, “American Indians lived long beside the Gray Wolf before settlers started to come here.” (Rowe, Mark) The wolf is native to the North American continent and has been inhabiting its land for centuries. It is a canid species, or member of the canine family and is a cunning, smart, fast, and sly animal. Gray wolves range in color from black, brown, gray, and white and also look like a grown German Shepherd. They are well known for traveling in family sizes from 7-9 wolves, led by the alpha male and have a mate. They are a fierce animal that has been researched extensively because of their unique qualities and that they are near extinction.

After years of selective breeding and taming, the hunters finally came across some wolves that were able to listen to commands and do what they were ordered to do. These wolves did not look like the first ones with which humans came into contact. Their size, coloring, senses and even the length of their coat or swimming ability reflected the environment in which they lived. These environments could have ranged from anything since hunters do not stay in one place for very long. These wolves probably did not reflect their gray ancestors much anymore. The color of their coat could have become brown, black, or even yellow depending on where they were taken. Their size could have been affected, too, depending on how the hunters had used them- they could have shrunken to the size

The red wolves are an endangered species. Right now they are only 45-60 left the wild. If people don't do something soon they might become completely extinct.

“Hey let's go to the cafe with the pink roof”, I pointed as my friends and I waded through the precarious poodles through the cobblestone road. We were all eager to retreat from the drewery weather, into a warm lit cafe. The nine of us were what you could call “stereotypical American tourists.” Yelling loudly, carrying oversized bags and wearing bright colored clothes.

“Mother, if you tighten the corset much more, I won’t be able to breath,” I gasped as my mother tightening my corset to an extreme.

Today, many people know that scientists studying wolves have lived very close to dens where there
