elk by killing the wolf, its main predator. They were wrong. A 30 year project to restore the wolf population was made, and the wolves made an amazing recovery. The wolves are now moving outside of Yellowstone and conservationists are looking to expand their range, however, many don’t agree with bringing the wolf back. But are wolves really a good thing? By the 1950’s, the wolf population in the lower 48 states had dropped from 2 million to just a few hundred. In 1987 the gray wolf was listed…

United States found themselves hunted; a hunt that would last until the 1960’s when they would be put on the endangered species list after their populations plummeted. The species of Gray wolf that was most common in the U.S. was almost hunted to extinction because complaints from ranchers and farmers that the wolf was a mindless, selfish, gutless killing machine. However, it is obvious through careful studying and monitoring that the wolves are a key part to their landscape, they keep down the…

Grey Wolf Optimizer (GWO) is inspired by grey wolves. The leadership hierarchy and hunting mechanism of grey wolves is mimicked by GWO algorithm. GWO employs four types of grey wolves such as alpha, beta, delta, and omega. GWO consists of three main steps of hunting, searching for prey. Encircling prey, and attacking prey [38]. GWO is benchmarked on many challenging test problems and applied to some real engineering problems. The results reveal that GWO is able to provide very competitive…

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? The government should protect Gray…

25,000 wolves. After the Senate withdrew the gray wolf from the endangered species list, in 2011, the slaughtering of wolves began to escalate again. This caused wolf hunters to fall deeper into their paranoid fantasy that wolves represents a liberal conspiracy against farmland and livestock. The species of wolves are on the brink of losing federal protection across the nation. With the removal of the wolf from the endangered species list, the wolf species will dwindle in population, like it did…

the Gray wolf Every species has an evolution, the gray wolf is no different. They belong to the “Kingdom: Animalia, Phylum: Chordata, Class: Mammalia, Order: Carnivora, Family: Canidae, Subfamily: Caninae, Genus: Canis and Species Lupus.” The gray wolf didn't start as a gray wolf it was originally a different animal that adapted overtime to become a gray wolf. The Reason for an animal adaption is mutation, natural selection, gene flow and genetic drift. The earliest ancestor of a gray wolf…

understand is that reintroducing wolves back in the wild will be a positive thing on the environment. By controlling the population of other animals. According to a scientific study by Doug Smith a wildlife biologist in charge of Yellowstone Wolf Project “when the gray wolf was reintroduced into the greater Yellowstone Ecosystem in 1995, there was only one beaver colony in the park but now there is nine beaver colonies. A flourishing beaver population is just one of those consequences of not…

scientists were approached by six wolves on Ellesmere Island with one animal leaping at one of the scientists and grazing a cheek.” There was 252 sighting of wolves and there’s more lone wolves then pack wolves for the Arctic wolves. In “2005 the Arctic wolf is still recognizes as a distinct subspecies by Mammal species of the world.” They lived in “east Greenland between 1899 to 1939.” That mean that they been moving to place…

Have you ever wondered where the long, diverse list of beautiful dog breeds came from? II. Well today I’m going to explain how the interaction with early humans and their haphazard discovery of domestication has led from the predecessor of the modern day wolf to the dozens and dozens of dog breeds we have today. Scientific…

On December 31, I decided to focus on the anatomy of a wolf. I found a great article on www.runningwiththewolves.com. I found out that a wolf shoulders can be between 26 to 38 inches (Wolf Howl Organization). The length from their head to the base of their tail is 40 to 50 inches (Wolf Howl Organization). Their tail’s lengths can range from 13 to 20 inches (Wolf Howl Organization). Female wolves weigh 20% less than male wolves (Wolf Howl Organization). During winter time, their fun can turn…
