Critics say the move would effectively gut one of the nation's premiere environmental laws and allow for the unchecked killing of wolves across the West. (AP Photo/Yellowstone National Park) BILLINGS, Mont. Two decades after the federal government spent a half-million dollars to study the reintroduction of gray wolves to the Northern Rockies, lawmakers say it's time for Congress to step in again this time to clamp down on the endangered animals. To do so they are proposing to bypass the Endangered Species Act and lift protections, first enacted in 1974, for today's booming wolf population.

What Was Already Known Search for Information Description of Plant or Animal ... Conclusions from Research Why Study This Topic? Wolves are often found in children's stories for young readers. The fact is that many young children know little about real wolves due to the fact that they are no longer found in the wild with any frequency in the lower 48 states in America with the exception of Minnesota. In conducting an informal survey of students to establish their knowledge of wolves, it was discovered that few had ever seen a wolf. Talking about wolves in our fairy tales and stories prompted the children to be more curious about why we no longer see these large predators in our rural community of Southwest Virginia. Many of our students are aware that we DO have packs of wild dogs and some coyotes that roam our farmland. They often take advantage of newborn calves and lambs as prey. But none had ever heard of wolves being seen in this same community. This prompted our class to discover why we no longer have wolves in our area, yet have other large wolf-like predators. What Was Already Known The main thing that most students think they know about wolves are that they are not seen in our area. They know what they dog-like features and should be feared for their strengths as a predator. Luckily we have a nature center, Bays Mountain Park, nearby that has established a small pack of socialized wolves for public viewing and education. A socialized pack simply means that wolves were hand- reared by humans as pups rather than remaining with their wolf mothers in a den. These socialized wolves are easier to handle for medical treatment and are more suited to public exposure than the typical wolf found in the wild. Each Spring, our Second Grade classes take a field trip to this nature center and prepare themselves for the experience by studying wolves prior to their trip. During this study we dispel myths about the wolf that have continued through history and explore the pack behavior that gives the wolf the power to be a successful predator.

It was not long ago that the Mexican wolf was on the very edge of becoming extinct. Only a hand full of these wolves survived in the wild. They needed help and they needed it quickly. Help arrived! No, it was not the ugly crew of wolf lovers on the left. These guys never existed. But, this is BoomerWolf's land and we let anyone in. The Mexican wolf was listed as an ENDANGERED SPECIES in 1976. This means that steps have to be taken to bring the Mexican wolf back! A few facts about the Mexican wolf: "I just love those crazy ears. They kind of flop around. You should notice how they are rounded at the top." Size The Mexican wolf is the smallest of the wolves in North America. weight: 60 to 90 pounds Length: 4 to 5 feet Height: 26 to 32 inches at the shoulder Name Mexican Wolf - Canis Lupus Baileyi Also called the "Lobo Wolf" Color Gray, brown, rust and tan with light underparts.

Daniel Cressey The grey wolf - endangered or not? Punchstock While legal battles continued this week in America over whether the grey wolf is an endangered species, a parallel argument over Canis lupus is playing out on the pages of a high-profile biology journal. At issue is whether the wolf currently roaming the western Great Lakes area — encompassing Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan and parts of Canada — deserves a place on the endangered species list. Some conservation biologists argue that wolf populations have recovered, and are no longer endangered; whereas others suggest that the wolves are not actually the same species as those which were lost (see ' Canis what? After more than a century of being hunted, wolves were placed on the US endangered species list in 1973 when their numbers dropped to just a few hundred. The population in the Great Lakes region subsequently bounced back to around 4,000 individuals, and they were removed from the list in 2007 after the US Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) declared them a 'distinct population segment'. But a case brought by the Humane Society of the United States saw the Great Lakes wolves returned to the list at the end of last month by a court in Columbia, on the grounds the FWS did not follow proper legal procedure.

What Was Already Known Search for Information ... Conclusions from Research Why Study This Topic? I want to know this animal's habitat (where it lives), what it eats, what eats it, how it survives, and what it needs to live. I also want to know what it looks like. For example, how big it is, how tall and long it is, and how much it weighs. I also wonder what colors it could be. Does it have a favorite food? Does it live in packs or by itself? I want to know what animals it gets along with and which animals are its enemy. I also need to know how well it smells, how good is its eyesight, how many pups are in a litter, at what age must it move out and become an adult. I am interested in the Arctic wolf because it is such a neat animal. It can run fast and kill animals larger than itself - such as caribou. I am also interested in all animals, not just the wolf. I want to help them stay alive and not become extinct, like other animals. Some animals are amazing and some are good for people for food, for medicine, and for cheering them up. Animals are a great creation. I don't want them to become extinct. What Was Already Known I knew that the Arctic wolf lived in the Arctic. I also knew that it is related to dogs. Arctic wolves live in packs and eat caribou. I didn't know much about this animal until I started researching it.

These six are among the 90 new wolves that now roam Yellowstone, a result of what environmentalists call the most significant ecological restoration program in history. About 70 years ago, local ranchers and government rangers killed most of the wolves in the West because they attacked cattle and farm animals. By 1926, all the wolves in Yellowstone were gone. (A few wolves living in Minnesota became protected under the Endangered Species Act in 1973.) To rebuild the wolf population in the West, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) brought 66 gray wolves from Canada into Yellowstone and central Idaho in January 1995. Now, just three years later, the wolves have multiplied to about 165 (75 live in Idaho). "The program is working better than any of us had ever hoped," says Ed Bangs, the wolf recovery coordinator for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in Montana. At this rate, gray wolves may be taken off the U.S. endangered species list by the year 2002.

U.S. fish and Wildlife Service The debate over endangered gray wolves continues. In October, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service opened up a public comment period to discuss a 2007 proposal to remove gray wolves from the Endangered Species List. While some comments opposed the proposal, like the ones in Comment on the Gray Wolf’s Status , the Bush administration says it is removing gray wolves in the western Great Lakes and northern Rocky Mountains from the list. However, Deputy Interior Secretary Lynn Scarlett says that gray wolves in Wyoming will stay on it because the state has not done enough to guarantee the survival of the species. The government has tried to remove wolves in these regions from the list before, but those efforts were overruled by the courts. In fact, last September, a federal judge sided with animal-rights groups that protested the 2007 decision to remove nearly 4,000 wolves in Michigan, Minnesota and Wisconsin. While many farmers are concerned about wolves preying on their livestock, environmentalists believe wolves should stay on the list to help maintain biodiversity. If not, the gray wolf species could lose its chance of survival — and our ecosystem could suffer.
