  1. The WolfQuest Project The Eye Of the Wolves Life By: Chloe

  2. History In the 1950’s the Gray Wolf also known as Canis Lupis was eliminated from Wisconsin. For 20 years or so the wolves DID NOT return back to Wisconsin. Wisconsin’s wolf population has been heavily monitored by the DNR (Department of Natural Resources) ever since fall 1979. In 1975 the gray wolf was listed as state endangered. Then the state had down listed the Gray Wolf to threatened in 1999.

  3. Sticking Together Packs are social wolves either related to each other by blood or family ties of affection. Once the pack finds prey some wolves may start a fight on who eats first.

  4. The Howl and More Wolves communicate in many different ways like howling. When a wolf howls it says many things, like loneliness and happiness. It lets the other members of the pack know where they are too. Wolves also communicate by body language and scent marks.

  5. Wolf Telemetry Wolf Telemetry is when people track wolves. The people knock the wolves out and put ear tags that are numbered and collars on them. The ear tags and collars are tracking devices. Once the person is done putting the ear tags and collars on the wolf they set it free. Now the wolf is able to be tracked.

  6. Adaption Wolf have certain features that help them survive. When It gets cold in the winter the Arctic Wolf grows an extra coat. Their coat gets extremely white which camouflages them with the snow.Wolves also have teeth that help them with catching prey.

  7. Habitat Loss Wolves live in environments that are suited for them. When humans come in and destroy it, we ruin their habitat and we could kill the wolves along the way. There are many ways that we can prevent that like habitat restoration. Instead of picking their habitat as a construction site we should pick another place.

  8. Human Conflict • Wolves and humans don’t get along very well when they are in the same environment. Normally farmers have the most problem with them. If a wolf comes near his sheep the farmer will take charge immediately.

  9. Tools When we get information about wolves or any other animals we end up recording it into journals or graphs. These tools help us compare our data on the object we are studying.

  10. Food Chain Wolves are very important to they food chain. If wolves were to disappear there prey like elk or deer would over populate. Wolves predators like cougars might starve and die.

  11. Wolf Populations Wolf populations constantly changes. There are many reasons why it fluctuates. When food is scarce wolves struggle to find prey. When food isn’t scarce and there is plentiful food wolves don’t have problems. Another reason why the wolf population fluctuates is when hunters come along. Then the wolf population goes down again. Finally when mating happens wolves produce more pups. The wolf population constantly changes.

  12. OH NOOOOOOO

  13. Dinner Time Wolves normally eat elk, deer, bison and beaver. When the pack attacks their prey the Alpha Male and the Alpha Female get to eat first. Once they are done the rest of the pack gets to have what is left.

  14. Uh Oh…HUNTERS! • Wolves are mainly hunted for there luscious fur and their skin. There are laws that you can’t hunt or kill wolves in the lower 48 states of the Unites States.

  15. Love Wolves mate in April or in the winter. Usually the Alpha Male and Female are the only ones that mate and produce pups.

  16. Young ones Usually once mating season is over a female wolf is pregnant. Wolves have the average of six pups. She carries them for 9-10 months. Before the pups are born the mother and the father wolf find a den site. When the pups are born they are blind and deaf. The mother and father wolf raise their pups until they are 6-8 weeks old. After 6-8 weeks they all travel to the rendezvous site. There they find a pack and travel with it.

  17. World Wide World wide wolves need people to know all about them and why they need help. Some types of wolves are endangered, like the Gray wolf. There is so much that you can do to help the wolf population. Like not letting construction people destroy their environment . Hunters shouldn’t hunt wolves. Plus its against the law to hunt them in the lower 48 states. They need help.
