FfFfFfFF 58,413 Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 The number of wolves in Yellowstone National Park has risen in the past year, according to Doug Smith, the park’s senior wildlife biologist. Park officials believe there were 80 wolves in Yellowstone last year, as compared to 94 — living in eight separate packs — this year, Smith said during a live presentation on Facebook last week. The March 3 presentation came in commemoration of the 25th anniversary of wolves being reintroduced to Yellowstone. Smith spoke on the impact of wolves in the region, hoping to dispel many of the “myths” about the species. Wolves’ choice of food is one of three main reasons the reintroduction program has been controversial. Smith said they compete with humans for game animals; they occasionally kill livestock; and some consider wolves a human safety threat. “The last one is the least effective argument because wolves are probably the least dangerous of all the carnivores in North America,” he said. Wolves in the park have about an 80 percent chance surviving through a given year, Smith has said, and the species typically only lives five to six years. Smith, who’s been studying wolves since 1979, came to the park in 1994 as a project biologist for the wolf reintroduction project, taking the lead on the project in 1997.

PartySick 173,157 Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 I'm glad they highlight that wolves aren't as dangerous to humans as people think. As long as you keep your distance and don't startle them, a wolf probably wants nothing to do with you or any other human Whimsical bitch Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
