Wolfs Today I am going to be talking about wolves and how they behave. What they eat, How they are in danger, But mostly because I love wolfs and I don't want them to be in danger. So that is why, I am going to talk about wolfs today. Did you know there are 200,000 wolfs in the world? They are decreasing in numbers, because people are killing them. People think that wolves are bad animals. The thing about wolves is that they only attacks if you are in their land. We need to stop killing wolfs, because they attack us, it is not there fault. This is really sad that we are losing most of the wolfs. If we could stop people from killing them that would be great. Wolfs are going endangered because people are killing them that is why I am talking about them for their future. The wolf's behaved is good it is bad if you get on their bad side. It's good if you stay away from them. The reason wolfs attack us is because they are trying to keep their pups safe. That is also why they mark their territories. The alfalfa male will die to save their pack and the pack's pups. The alfalfa male will also kill the young if he does not approve of them. But if he does like them he gives them a kiss to show that they can stay. He will also make them be a lone …show more content…

Wolves know the animals that live here, and wolfs now how to hunt them. To hunt large prey, the wolves must work together. The first step is finding prey. Wolves rely on their sense of smell to find prey. all a wolf's sharp senses, its sense of smell may be the strongest. It's estimated to be up to 100 times more sensitive than a human's. Wolves can smell prey several kilometers away. So when the alpha male catches the scent of elk on the wind, he is ready to lead the pack. This is what the paragraph is talking about, the wolf's diet. Farmers need to know so they can protect their

  • Reintroduction and extirpation of the Gray wolf

    1083 Words  | 3 Pages

    The history behind the extirpation of the grey wolf in the United States dates back to the very first European settlers that colonized eastern North America in the late 16th century. The killing of gray wolves was done primarily out of fear in an attempt to protect livestock, and, in some cases, to protect human life within the colonies. As more settlers expanded West, the practice of killing wolves was considerably increased to protect livestock that included cows, pigs, and chickens. As waves of European settlers expanded westward, they began to deplete the deer, moose, and elk populations. The gray wolves food source continual depletion gave rise to wolf populations actively targeting the settler’s livestock, causing great financial loss. The fiscal loss of livestock became such an issue to wealthy ranchers and settlers that they began to offer cash rewards for wolf pelts. This practice gave birth to a lucrative cottage industry of professional hunters and trappers. As the wolves began to move further West, and into Wyoming, they began to diminish the elk and moose population. To respond to this threat, Congress approved funding in 1914, to eliminate the native gray wolves from

  • Deer Overpopulation and Some Proposed Solutions

    1340 Words  | 3 Pages

    ...I think that repopulating wolves in an area where they might have to deal with people is kind of a feeble-witted idea. Wolves are not an animal with a great reputation, even though they might not deserve that reputation most people do not like. I think that people as a whole would probably rather have deer in their back yard rather than wolves. Therefore, the questions what can happen, what should happen, and what will happen, with the deer problem all three have different answers. These answers will differ due to the area that the deer are in and the peoples' feeling towards these deer. It is too bad that there is not one perfect solution to the deer problem. Maybe in the future there will be, but until then we will have to deal with each problem that comes up individually.

  • Reintroducing the Wolf to Yellowstone

    Many hundreds of years ago wolves roamed the entire North American continent with no barriers and very few predators. As settlers moved into the United States, wolves became more and more scarce in the wild of America. As the wilderness areas of the United States declined, so did the population of the wolf, until there were only a few spots in the wild where wolves could still be found.

  • The Yellowstone Wolf Controversy

    By the 1880's the majority of the bison were gone, so the wolves had to change food sources. This meant that they turned their attention to domestic livestock, causing farmers and ranchers to fight back. There were even some states offering bounties for the wolves. Montana had a bounty on wolves that totaled more than $350,000 on 81,000 wolves. Due to the lack of a food source, as well as the bounties being offered, a wolf was no longer safe in the lower 48 states.

  • The Necessity of Legalizing Wolf Hunting in Wisconsin

    1302 Words  | 3 Pages

    When the reintroduction of wolves began in the state of Wisconsin, a goal of 350 wolves was set, and this number was reached successfully in a short amount of time. Once this was reached, however, the population continued to rise dramatically and exponentially, and is now in the upper 600s (Allen). The problems now come down to a few simple questions that have complex answers. Will a regulated hunt get out of control, and a repeat of the past begins? Are the wolves posing any sort of threat in the present? Who or what would a hunt benefit? First, the issue of the past must be addressed. Back in the earlier years of the United States, wolves roamed free, and when farmers moved their livestock into what was then the wolves' territo...

  • Should the Wolves Stay in Yellowstone National Park?

    1822 Words  | 4 Pages

    Wolves had live throughout parts of the world for thousands of years before humans just kept rising in population and minimizing the wolves’ population through the expansion of their territories for farm agriculture and industrialization. It is only in the United States where humans completely annihilated wolves; they did this by hunting the wolves down until the last wolf was killed in 1926. However, in 1995, 14 wolves were caught from Canada and release into Yellowstone National Park. This makes it almost 70 years since the wolves have been reintroduced back into Yellowstone National Park (17 July 2009)

  • The Purpose In Killing Coyotes

    609 Words  | 2 Pages

    During the 1900’s, hunters were mass killing wolves because they had been attacking ranch animals, much like the coyote. Thousands of wolves were killed, to the point that they were endangered, and they still are today. The mass killing of wolves soon came to a stop, and national parks had began to reintroduce the wolves. Ever since the wolves were reentering their economies, everything had began to change, from the height of trees, migration of birds, the behaviour of animals, and even the rivers had changed. All of these things had changed just because the wolves had been reintroduced to the economy.

  • What Is The Importance Of Wolves Essay

    619 Words  | 2 Pages

    Let me tell you something. In 1970, Gray Wolves used to have a population of 250,000. But now due to mass wolf hunting, the numbers are down to 500. Hello everyone. Today, I’d like to speak on behalf of the Wolf Conservation Center about the importance of wolves, and why they should be protected. Wolves are too often a misunderstood creature, instead of showing fascination, we always fear them, which is the exact opposite of what we should be doing. The society of wolves is just like ours, sorted by ranks, defined by confidence, and full of emotions. We are more like them than we think. Except they are being hunted, and we are not. In many parts of where they range, all types of wolves are being persecuted for killing livestock. As a result, humans have been killing wolves for years, because of us, their numbers are decreasing by thousands.

Most seventeen year old’s sport doesn’t take them to competitions in Main, Quebec, or Alaska, but mine did and still does. I race sled dogs. My parents met at a dog race in Chugiak, Alaska, a suburb of Anchorage. I’ve grown up playing with puppies, helping my parents to the start line, and racing my own team. I would go to my parent-teacher conference every year in elementary school and listen to my mom explain that we would be going to Alaska for two and a half months, and that I would need my work before we left. We experienced different reactions every year. For example, my second grade teacher exclaimed “So are you running the Iditarod? That’s so cool!” This reaction is common. Most people don’t know how the sport of dog racing works. Most people think a sled dog is a fluffy dog that logs hundreds of miles because their heartless owners forcing them to, but unfortunately this stereotype

  • Wolves Pros And Cons

    1139 Words  | 3 Pages

    As wolves can be known as livestock killers, we can change that by hunting them and lowering the population. Not lowering the population can plummet the local deer, elk, moose and sheep populations. If they are over populated, they can end up preying on other species to the point where there are few animals left. Although not hunting wolves can also have some benefits, it does have cons. Having wolves, and not keeping check of the wolf population can cause them to over populate.
