I've been trying to find an up to date and accurate population count of gray wolf populations worldwide,
broken down per country, but many sites need to update their numbers. I am not a fan of Wikipedia, but it is fairly reliable for the most part! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_gray_wolf_populations_by_country (This page was last modified on 8 November 2016, at 08:02.)

I get sick of seeing people post things of this nature and act all proud about it. I feel most wolf advocates have a warmer gentler heart than most wolf haters in general!
Let her See how you feel about it - tell her we sent you! THIS COULD BE GREAT NEWS IN THE FUTURE!
Once again, I emailed Isle Royale in regards to the presence (or lack there of) wolves within the park boundaries : they had previously allowed all but 1 wolf either die or be killed, until recently. Me to Isle Royale: I would like to know HOW many wolves are present as of now - recently there was news of a 2nd wolf found - and also what are your plans if any for re-introducing wolves to Isle Royale? Why or why not? Isle Royale to Me: Douglas - thanks for your interest in this wolf population. The estimate in February 2016 was two wolves. Two wolves were documented on a remote camera in June 2016. There was a reliable report of two wolves howling in September 2016. That's about all that is known re. recent trends. The future of wolves at Isle Royale is up to the National Park Service to decide. It is expected that NPS will release a draft EIS on wolf management sometime in December or January. There will be a comment period to follow, so you might want to look for that next. Just my opinions...
Animals also remember! They do not just act on instinct as many people tend to believe. They can also be taught - a bad example is circus animals, a good example is working animals. There are NUMEROUS animal/human interacting reunion videos proving this point - showing fear at first, then showing the excitement in the animal! They also know WHEN to use emotions and actions - try taking food away from almost ANY animal, domesticated or not - and you will most likely get some sort of reaction - depending on the type of animal! Watch an animal when it is frightened - for example a cat - what does a cat do when frightened? Jump! But a cat will learn to come to the sound of a can opener after just a few lessons! Cats/dogs can be potty trained as can various wild animals when patient! Animals can figure things out on their own if given an opportunity to do so! My old 3/4 wolf taught himself how to either stand up and ring the doorbell (NO B/S), or just scratch at the door to be let in - he RARELY barked for any reason! Other animals learn other things - domesticated or wild! Animals also tend to associate pain with certain individuals/experiences - just watch their actions and see for yourself! They show pain with body posture! Animals also do mourn for the loss of their mate - I've seen this in person with more than 1 type of animal! |
