Wolf Sanctuary Research Paper

In the article Saving America’s Wolves, by Kristin Lewis, the author uses second person point of view and this choice has an affect on the reader. Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be a wolf? Today, wolves around the country face many dangers today. Throughout history and folklore, wolves have been depicted as being dangerous predators that come after humans, but that is far from the truth. In fact, humans today are more of a danger to them as they are to us!

Wolves have always been a symbol of the wild, free in spirit and roamers of the land. These animals are considered majestic and protectors of the wilderness. They have always roamed the western United States, although their population has fluctuated over time. Over the past 10 years wolf reintroduction into Yellowstone National Park has been a controversial topic to those of the United States. As of 1995, wolves have been reintroduced into the park. This has come with some strong opposition and yet has prevailed. The future of the wolf in Yellowstone park is now looking bright, although not certain since there still are those who want them banished again.

There are three different locations that you can find a Great Wolf Lodge. One located in Grapevine, Texas, which is also the one I would go to. Two located in Kansas City, Kansas. The third located in Atlanta/LaGrange, Georgia. The closest one to me is the Grapevine, Texas facility.

While researching the gray wolf, I found out that it is actually a very touchy subject in Michigan. The hunting of Gray Wolves has been a very controversial topic. Gray wolves are native to Michigan but were nearly wiped out in the 19th and early 20th centuries by hunting and state-sanctioned bounties. In 1973, when Congress created the federal endangered species list, only six wolves were known to still exist in the Michigan wild, and gray wolves were considered an endangered species. By 2007, the wolf population in the Upper Peninsula topped 500 -- far exceeding the recovery benchmark of 100 set by the federal government, making the Great Lakes gray wolf one of the most successful recovery stories in the history of the endangered species list. The gray wolf actually came off the endangered species list in 2012, but as of December 2014, has been relisted.

One one breezy Sunday morning, Billy and his dog Ruff were on their way to a place all of Billy’s friends talked about but were all too scared to go to. This place is called Wolf Hollow. No-one even dared to step foot on Wolf Hollow’s ground after they all heard that a kid died back there. Well that was if Wolf Hollow even existed. Billy’s mom told him Wolf Hollow was all just a childhood myth, and that kid died roads away from where Wolf Hollow is supposed to be.

In this essay I will be informing readers about the history of the wolf in the western part of the United States, the wolf’s status as an endangered species, and its effect on the ecosystem and what we as humans can do to manage it.

The Canadian wolf can look many different ways.They can grow anywhere from 2-3 feet tall. The Wolf has fur and claws. When you think of a wolf, you can compare it to a dog.

A wolf has four short legs, but they can run fast. The male can weigh anywhere from 70 lbs- 200 lbs. The female weighs about 50 lbs- 100 lbs.

Many people tend to be afraid of wolves because of how big they are and their strength. However, we don’t see how important they are until there are drastic changes. For almost 70 years Yellowstone did not have a night where a wolves howl could be heard. In that time the deer population grew fast; because of the increase in their

After reading the article I have learned that the biologist are killing barred owls because they want to help protect the endangered spotted owl. Instead of killing the barred owls they should relocate them to a different forrest if that is a possibility. This would help the spotted owl's population increase without killing the barred owls. I really don't think it should be legal to kill beautiful barred owls. The famous scientist Lowell Diller said “Can you imagine letting something like that go extinct?” This is a difficult situation because it’s either they kill the barred owls or the barred owls kill the endangered spotted owl. Scientist believe that a big reason why the owls are enemies is because they cut down multiple trees

The appearance of a grey thrilled wildlife enthusiasts and conservationists. An emblem of hope, a grey wolf wandering into Arizona—a place once densely populated with wolves before the 1900s culling—is a demonstration of how conservation efforts have succeeded in helping

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.

I am writing to express my opposition to increasing the hunting quotas for Washington’s cougars.

When you think of a wolv what biome do you think it lives in. The grey wolf can survive in many biomes but there has to be plenty of food and it has to be cold. Wolves need to worry about their surroundings to but mostly from the coyote. Tundras are the coldest biome in the world.There is no trees in the biome it is just all flat land.
