In 1974, the gray wolf was placed on the endangered species list, but in Yellowstone National Park wolves had already been hunted for almost a hundred years, the last pack being killed off in 1926. In 1995, eight wolves were relocated from western Canada to Yellowstone, and in the next year, a total of thirty-one wolves were brought in (NPS, 2016). This was the start of what some may call one of the greatest wildlife restoration projects ever undertaken. Twenty years after the fact, Yellowstone…

The Maned Wolf The legs of a deer, the face of a fox, and the body of a wolf, what is it? The maned wolf is an interesting animal that not many people may know about. It can be described by what it looks like, its eating habits, and its social structure. Despite its name this animal looks more like a fox rather than a wolf and has even been described as a “fox on stilts”. But, this unique looking species isn’t closely related to either. In fact, the maned wolf is the only member of its genus,…

10. Lancashire Heeler. Though it looks like a wolf with its pointy ears and eyes, the Lancashire Heeler is just a small dog breed. They were developed to be used as herder and drover of cattles. No matter what the weather is, the Lancashire Heeler stays dry because it has an undercoat that helps keep it dry. In general, the Lancashire Heeler is a great companion because they are intelligent, friendly and alert. However, they can be lazy and really loud at times due to their energy level. They…

Timothy Treadwell’s understanding of human relations to animals (specifically to bears) is that they are his soul mates and his salvation. Timothy has dedicated his life to protecting and studying the bears in the Alaskan land. The bears, he says, are inspirational, gave him a life, and they helped him become a better person (i.e. help him give up drinking). Timothy exclaims several times that he will die for the animals. Timothy behaves like the bears and lives in their territory. Perhaps,…

Yellowstone ecosystem (GYE) (Smith et al., 2003). The reintroduction of the wolves has had a great effect on the ecosystem of Yellowstone; the wolves have greatly reduced the numbers of ungulates, especially Elk which have been found to support the wolf packs almost entirely (Smith et al., 2003). The wolves have also had an effect on many of the other organisms…

The reintroduction of the wolf into Yellowstone National Park proved significant to the development and growth of species in and around the park. John Muir once said, “When one tugs at a single thing in nature, he finds it attached to the rest of the world.” Here, Muir believes that when one individual component of a habitat is affected, the rest of the habitat is also affected. This idea can best be described as a keystone species. Keystone species are a species of animal that is involved…

The girl looked through the mountain and slid down onto the soft snowy surface, outside a deciduous forest of friendly grizzly bears. As seen in Native American origin myths like, "When Grizzlies Walked Upright," the tribes use symbolism to teach lessons useful in life. In "When Grizzlies Walked Upright," the grizzly bears show people to stay within their culture and not to break rules or else they will get punished. In "The Navajo Origin Legend," the wind symbolizes strength and guidance, and…

Have you ever realized that your dog's ancestor was a wolf? People in the past used not to have dogs. There was not even a species called dogs! How did dogs even become man's best friend? Our relationships have changed over time. The dogs had to become domesticated, and it is rather weird how they ended up a new species! Most scientists believe that wolves would eat the human's scraps that they would leave outside. So, as a result, they had a given birth to many puppies. Then, this skill was…
