The Wolves

dedicated his summer to study the strange occurences of wolves on an isolated island in northern Michigan. A pack of wolves walked across an ice bridge to the island of Isle Royale and began living in this new location. By leaving their native habitat the wolves left behind their gene pool and was left with a poor genetic composition because they were trapped on the island due to the melting of the ice bridge. The most logical explanation for why the wolves traveled to this island is that they…

were killed by wolves. Motivate(Curiosity): Would you like to know what other predators are killing livestock while wolves take all the blame? Assertion: The reintroduction of wolves into Yellowstone was a good idea. Preview: In this speech, I will prove to the class that wolves are not diminishing the elk population, killing all the livestock, and are not negatively affecting the ecosystem. Body #1: Elk Population Many people who were and are against the reintroduction of wolves use the…

about his scientific studies. At a young age Farley is captivated my nature, and finds himself becoming part of it. Farley in college finds himself interested in the scientific study of lupines, aka wolves. Mowat is soon employed to the artic in the summer, where he is assigned to study species of wolves, and the effect they have on caribou. Shortly after arriving he friends a local Eskimo named Mike, who is nice enough to offer Farley use of his cabin. After soon surveying the land around…

head off into the woods. After a mile of walking, our alpha smells a herd of muskoxen. At the end of the woods there are muskoxen grazing on the meadow. As we approach the oxen, we spot a weaker ox who is away from the herd. My group who has six wolves goes after this oxen, chasing it until we can grab ahold of it. Once we’ve attacked, our alpha eats first and then the rest of us enjoy our catch. If you don’t know, I am an arctic wolf. Today I will tell you about myself and the reasons I am…

keystone species is the gray wolf in Yellowstone National Park. A brief history on the gray wolves of Yellowstone is that…

translocations, it was found that wolves tended to travel more towards their original home when they were not held in captivity for an acclimation period than when they were. Wolves were held in one-acre acclimation pens for around ten weeks in hope that it would increase the likelihood that the translocated wolves would stay within the park when released. 17 wolves were translocated in 1996 and were also held in the acclimation pens for ten weeks. Both shipments of wolves included both adults…

Park, the wolf is the keystone species. In 1926, all of the wolves were removed or killed to the point where wolves no longer existed in the park. After their removal, many other species were affected because they were the keystone species. These species include the grizzly bear population, the pronghorn antelope population, the elk…

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…

I have created a plan to help wolves repopulate the Yellowstone National Park and to guarantee they will survive long term. By repopulating Yellowstone National Park this will result in many positive benefits. These benefits include controlling the elk population, preventing overpopulation of coyotes, controlling the populations of rodents and other small game, protecting the aspen tree population, controlling the beaver population, and increasing biodiversity. Canis Lupus is crucial to the…

The wolf is an amazing and mysterious creature. People don’t often see wolves very often in the wild and for a few reasons. Wolves are more afraid of humans than humans are of them. Man has hunted and killed wolves for their fur. The last reason is that there aren’t very many of them left in the wild. Wolves have received quite a bad reputation. In historical times wolves have eaten farmers live stock because wolves need to survive just like the farmers needed to. That is how stories like The…
