The wolf, also known as the grey wolf or gray wolf, is a canine native to Eurasia and North America. The wolf is the largest wild extant member of the family Canidae, and is further distinguished from other Canis species by its less pointed ears and muzzle, as well as a shorter torso and a longer tail.[1]
Coverage[]
Wolves were generally featured in the documentary and were briefly featured in Bound and Buried.
Documentary[]
Wolves are introduced in 25 years after people when compared to the nuisance of cockroaches, the wolves were a terror, which lead to humans to hunted them down mercilessly. The documentary informs that it is believed that nearly half a million wolves roamed the country side when the first European settlers arrived in what is now the United States, and by the 20th century, the wolves were nearly extinct in the lower 48 states. Without people, the wolf populations multiply by as much six times each year and after 25 years, there could easily be half a million roaming the United States once again.
Wolves in Yellowstone National Park.
The documentary explains that this scenario has already happened on a small scale before, with an example happening in 1995 when biologists released a few dozen wolves within the boundaries of Yellowstone National Park, which allowed them to be protected from persecution by humans. Within a decade, the few dozen had multiplied into 1,500 and the wolves quickly spread out from Yellowstone to occupy territory through the states of Wyoming, Montana, and Idaho. Scott Creel explains about the research that it would be fast if it starts with a few dozen wolves and within a course of a decade, have a population of 1,500 and having geographic expansion that filled up a big chunk of a three-state area. He continues that within a right conditions, wolves can re-colonize rapidly.
Scott Creel then concludes to ask a question if one could see them in Manhattan or Chicago before answering it that as soon as the deer arrives, the wolves would be right behind them.
Dogs like these have interbred with wolves.
It is also revealed in 150 years after people that some dogs have interbred with wolves and are now fall in packs to bring down larger prey.
