Physical barriers The way physical barriers work is simple: wolves can’t get to livestock, so wolves can’t attack livestock. Electric fencing, or fladry, can be constructed for every cattle farm and places where wolves can hunt down cattle. Fencing can shield cattle from wolves, and electric fencing can discourage the wolves from breaking through. Being difficult to break through is a significant upgrade to barbed wire fences, which surround many ranches in Montana. As… says, the cost of…

In the mid-20th Century wolves within the United States border were nearly extinct due to human action against them. The gray wolf has recently been re-introduced into the lower 48 states. This has sparked much controversy over whether this species should be encouraged to thrive or eradicated from their habitats. While wolves may endanger a few livestock they are a keystone species and are crucial to maintaining a stabilized ecosystem in not only Yellowstone but the entire mid-west. Wolves are…

Red Wolves, legendary members of the dog family, are very important animals which are a vital part of the food chain and our environment. In an attempt to emphasize the importance of this animal, it is necessary to discover its characteristics, understand why it is in danger, stress the importance of saving the Red Wolf, and learn how it was reintroduced into the wild. Twice as big as a coyote and about half the size of a Gray Wolf, these Red Wolves are beautiful creatures. Fully grown…

Wolves, a marvelous sight to see either in the Rocky Mountains or Yellowstone National Park. However, per Source #7, the Gray wolf was included to the U.S Endangered Species List in 1973. The government worked to increase the population and succeeded. But now in two states, Idaho and Montana, the Gray wolf has been removed from the list and can be hunted legally. Nevertheless, since there are Gray wolves in the wild, there is debate, should the Gray wolf population be protected by the government…

Introduction The reintroduction of the Mexican Gray wolf into the southwestern United States has been a subject of large controversy in the past few decades. They first became protected by the Endangered Species Act of 1976; this species that had numbers in the thousands only a few decades earlier had become completely extinct in the United States (Southwest Wildlife). In 1960 the population dropped to seven, and yet there were still no efforts to implement their recovery as a species for 16…

Canis Lupus Familaris is domestic dogs that have been bred into becoming both a “working dog” and “show dog”. While transitioning and adapting to their entirely new environment, these dogs who are used by humans to be selectively bred start to genetically change which manipulates all their offspring’s. “Over several generations, the original wild grey wolf has changed and a new species appeared that is genetically different from the founding stock that was adopted by the humans: the Canis…

As already stated earlier Zeus is a very obedient dog. He knows many tricks such as sit, lie down, roll over and he can even play dead. With the help of a dog’s favorite treat, one can teach them almost anything they’d like. However, it is more than likely that a dog will only learn something if he is getting rewarded for it. This can possibly be seen as a negative ability because if one was truly intelligent and learned with reasoning they could learn without reward or punishment, but many…

Wolves ancestors species are the Canis chihliensis and Canis armbrusteri. The Canis armbrusteri evolved from…

Wales, UK Introduction and project rationale The red wolf (Canis rufus) is a critically endangered canid species that is endemic to the south-east regions of the United States. In the past, the wolves were widespread in numerous American states, but persecution and loss of habitat restricted them to the states of Louisiana and Texas where they then struggled with high parasite numbers and hybridization with coyotes (Canis latrans) (Brzeski et al., 2014). As red wolves are an…
