Just when gray wolves are roaming free again in America, some want to strip federal protections from many of these magnificent animals. This would make it easier to kill wolves throughout most of their historic range in the Lower 48 states. A new federal rule classifying gray wolves in most of the Lower 48 states as merely threatened rather than endangered has just been announced by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. It's the first step by Interior Secretary Gale Norton toward putting wolves under the control of states where politicians want to eradicate these magnificent animals. Wyoming's state wildlife agency has recently gone on record to allow wolves to be killed like skunks or jackrabbits. Idaho's legislature has voted to remove wolves from their state "by any means necessary." And some Montana politicians want to let citizens shoot wolves on sight by the end of this year. Speak up for wolves. Once all but wiped out in the Lower 48 by extermination campaigns, wolves are just now struggling for survival again in the wild. But they need protection for their fragile recovery to continue.

Are Wolves Endangered? Updated July 2000 The wolf in the contiguous 48 United States has long been on the federal government's list of endangered species, which includes both threatened and endangered populations. In Minnesota, the wolf is considered by the federal government to be threatened, whereas it is considered fully endangered elsewhere in the 48 states. In Alaska the wolf thrives in such numbers that it is neither threatened nor endangered. Classifying the status of animals is a judgment call. In some cases, the judgment is easy. For example, the California condor population includes only a few remaining members and is clearly endangered. With other species, such as the wolf, the situation is far more complex.

    Why are Wolves Endangered? There are many reasons, Most people used to be afraid of wolves and thought they were dangerous to humans. For a long time, people would get money for bringing in a dead wolf. This is called bounty hunting (between 1850 and 1900 more that a million wolves were killed. In 1907 the call was given for the total extinction of the species.)
    Famous Wolf Bounty Hunters
    Ben Corbin. Ben Corbin was a hunter who worked the Dakota Territory and was responsible for the deaths of hundreds of wolves. He was also the author of Corbins; or The Wolf Hunter's Guide, a book published in 1900 that became the bounty-hunters' bible. Corbin called the wolf "the enemy of the state."
    Roy T. McBride. Probably the most famous modern-day trapper is Roy T. McBride, who was responsible for trapping Las Margaritas in Mexico.
    Las Margaritas. This wolf was one of the last outlaw wolves, taken in 1970. Las Margaritas was named after the ranch of the same name in northern Mexico, a favorite haunt of the wolf. He had lost two toes on his front left paw, and was leery of efforts to trap him for many years. Roy T. McBride finally caught the wolf after almost a year of efforts
    McBride was the trapper chosen by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to live-trap the last few wolves in Mexico for the Mexican wolf captive breeding program. He is probably the only bounty-hunter to possess a master's degree in biology.

    Why do wolves howl?

    What do wolves look like? Wolves resemble German shepherd or malamute dogs physically. However, wolves have longer legs, bigger feet, bigger heads and longer snouts than do similar sized dogs. Wolves vary a great deal in size, with most males weighing between 32 and 45 kilograms (50-100 pounds) and females weighing between 24 and 41 kilograms (40-90 pounds). In general, wolves found at higher latitudes are larger than the wolves found at lower latitudes. The largest wolf ever recorded was captured in Alaska and weighed 175 pounds. From the tip of the nose to the end of the tail, male wolves measure between 1.5 to 1.9 meters (5 to 6.5 feet) and females measure between 1.3 and 1.8 meters (4.5 to 6 feet). Wolves come in a variety of colours, ranging from pure white to solid black, although most are a grizzled grey-brown colour, like the one in the photo below. Wolves tend to have very thick coats that consist of a soft, insulating undercoat and a layer of long guard hairs which repel moisture. Wolves that live in warm regions in southern Eurasia and North America tend to have thinner coats than ones that live in northern regions. Most wolves have golden-yellow eyes.

    Biologists predict wolf migration
    Packs introduced in Idaho likely to expand into NE Oregon By RICK SWART of the East Oregonian Gray wolves are bound to stir up controversy when they start showing up in Oregon, and that time is just around the corner, tribal biologists say. Before the arrival of European settlers, wolves were common in Oregon and throughout the West. But the belief by settlers that wolves endangered livestock prompted efforts to eradicate them until 1974, when only a few hundred remained and they were listed for protection under the Endangered Species Act. After 25 years of protection, the number of wolves in the lower 48 states has increased to approximately 3,000, spread across Wisconsin, Wyoming, Montana, Idaho and, some believe, Oregon and Washington. Mack thinks the Idaho population has filled up 4 million acres of Idaho wilderness and wanderers are moving out into new hunting grounds. Wolf packs need territories as large as 50 to 1,000 square miles, so it is only natural that wolves would begin to disperse into new range, he said.

Myth and Superstition The Middle Ages in Europe was a time of growing enlightenment and crushing superstition. A belief in werewolves was widespread. The Roman Church exploited this sinister image of the wolf and, during the years of the Inquisition, used the peoples' fear of werewolves to maintain secular control. When the European settlers arrived in America, they brought this dark wolf of their imaginings with them. In contrast the indigenous people of North America both admired and emulated the wolf. The Native Americans respected the wolf's hunting abilities and honored him because he provided food for the community at large-the fox, the coyote, and the raven.

    The red wolf is the subject of a reintroduction effort in the Southeastern United States, its native range. Although it's unclear if this is a hybrid, a subspecies, or a true species, the population once dropped to 14. About 220 live in captivity, and 50 to 70 in the wild.

    Courtesy Monty Sloan, Wolf Park , Indiana. The resurgence began in northeast Minnesota, the only part of the lower 48 states where wolves lived in 1973. Minnesota now has about 2,000 timber wolves, a subspecies of the gray wolf. Wolves have spread to Michigan's Upper Peninsula and Isle Royale in Lake Superior, which now have more than 200 animals. In neighboring Wisconsin, the population has risen from zip 25 years ago to about 250 today, says Adrian Wydevan, a wolf biologist with the state Department of Natural Resources. Wolf territories cover about 6 percent to 7 percent of the state, and the population is rising steadily toward the goal of roughly 350 to 550 animals (the exact goal has not been set yet). Wydevan says wolves have caused little trouble on Wisconsin farms, and ate only four calves in spring, 2000.

    Most-Endangered Wolves May Be Saved By Vaccine John Pickrell
    for National Geographic News September 27, 2002
    The Ethiopian wolf ( Canis simensis ) is the most endangered species in the group of animals known as canids. The biggest threat comes from rabies and other diseases carried by dogs in the wolves' mountainous habitat, but researchers now think it may be possible to develop a vaccine that could dramatically help the species' survival. Based on a complex computer model, the scientists say it might be possible to prevent the wolf's extinction by vaccinating only 20 percent to 40 percent of the known populations. The elegant and long-legged animal with reddish-orange fur lives in the alpine regions of Ethiopia, 10,000 feet (3,000 meters) or so above sea level. It is also known as the Simien jackal or the Abyssinian wolf. The Ethiopian wolf has become so rare that any rescue plan must be implemented soon, researchers argue. Claudio Sillero-Zubiri, a zoologist at the University of Oxford in England, said only seven populations of the wolf remain, totalling less than 500 adults. That figure "makes the species even rarer than gorillas, giant pandas, tigers, rhinos, and most other large mammals," he noted.
